Shane Wright reveals who he was staring at on the draft stage.

While for most young men being drafted into the National Hockey League is the can't miss experience of a lifetime, for Seattle Kraken forward Shane Wright it may have proven to be a less than perfect day.

Wright, who for years had been projected to go first overall in the draft, saw himself passed over by 3 different NHL teams including the lowly Arizona Coyotes before the Kraken finally selected him 4th overall. While that should have been the end of his ordeal, when Wright walked up to the stage to accept his new Kraken jersey many felt they saw him giving a death glare to someone on the draft floor.

As you can see from the short video below, it really does look like Wright is trying to stare a hole through someone:

The prevailing theory was that Wright was staring down the Montreal Canadiens draft table, the team that used the first overall pick in the draft to select forward Juraj Slavkovsky over him. While that may have been a highly entertaining theory, it sounds like it may not be grounded in reality after all.

On Sunday, prior to a Major League Baseball game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Seattle Mariners, Wright joined host Jamie Campbell and discussed the now infamous staredown, revealing who he was really staring at. While you might be hoping for some kind of salacious answer from the young forward, Wright instead revealed that the truth was much more boring than people had imagined. The target of that apparent death stare, according to him at least, was nothing more than the cameras he was fixated on while being overwhelmed by the moment.

"Not at all. I was just kind of looking at the cameras in front of me," said Wright as per Sportsnet. "To be honest, I don't really remember too much going up on stage. It was just kind of a whirlwind for me so. I wasn't intentionally trying to stare anyone down I guess maybe it looked like that from the video, but there was no intent to stare them down. Just kind of look at the camera and their table was right behind it so I guess it kind of looked like it but there's no intent behind that."

If Wright was indeed frustrated with the Canadiens, he may get the chance to show them they made a mistake when the Kraken and Canadiens face off in December.
