2024 25 Kraken Roster Discussion

- Start date
kokko is doing great so far in the AHL if he can develop enough in a couple years my thought is keep gru and just let him walk in 2 years and have kokko take over the roster spot as the back up to daccord.

I’ll never not wonder how many PP goals McCann might score if they ran the scheme like the Caps do with Ovechkin.
I feel like Evans is going under the radar this season. He had 9 points in 36 games last season. He has 11 in 18 games so far. As many as Montour does.
Main boards have some X tweets mentioning that the salary cap could go up to the $95-$97 million range next season. That could be helpful for us because we don't have to worry as much about Bura/Gru. Also gives more options to trade because it may not cost as much because there may be more competition among tanking teams to take on bad contract(s).

A healthy scratch may be good for him. Maybe send him down for a game or two as well. Let him get some confidence back.

Seems like Wright will be in the press box again tonight.
Not that surprising to me.
He just hasn't been all that good and is currently on pace for roughly ten points this season.

I am starting to think that spending some time in Coachella to get his mojo back may be the best move forward. He gets to play with some talented wingers like Sale, Firkus, which could help with that.
It's a bummer to see him not being able to produce after the way he finished off last season on the Kraken

Daccord's .923 sv% is currently 6th among goaltenders, tied with Hellebuyck
His 2.31 GAA is 9th, just a hair behind Jake Allen and Pyotr Kotchetkov (both 2.30)
You love to see it.

Predicting goalies is hard but I am just glad we found one (hopefully) in Daccord. Having a reliable goaltender makes watching games so much more enjoyable .. LOL.

Evans is starting to get some recognition, but he’s not getting enough because of him playing in Seattle. If the dude were in Canada or the original 6, everybody would be talking about him.

Funnily enough, what started me thinking about it was remembering how much hype there was about Ottawa's Jake Sanderson when he came in. I'm not sure if Evans is playing at quite the same level but he's getting zero run right now.

Well, Friedman believes the Kraken want to re-sign Yanni Gourde.
Also, Joey seems to be able to play himself into the spotlight for international competitions.
It seems like both Canada and Switzerland are interested in him playing for their national team.
That's pretty interesting for an American born dude....

I like Gourde but its time to move on. We have a logjam of forward prospects in Coachella already with more waiting in the wings. I would prefer Winterton, Melanson, Firkus, etc. getting some time in the NHL.
