2024-25 Kraken Roster discussion

Yeah, I'd bet that other than due to a large injury, neither goaltender has more than fifty starts.

So D'Accord has a great chance of starting at least 50 games again this year....

I wasn't sure which response emoji to use - I was 75% laughing and 75% horror.

I hope he has a year similar to last year and as a result gets 50 starts.

You know, if you had said 50% and 50%, you would not have been responsible for my brain overheating and almost shorting out.

Any clue who starts in goal tonight?


Thank you!

I don’t think they have practice at 6:45 in the morning to verify.

Well maybe it was announced ahead of time or you guys have a better idea than some guy in Buffalo like me?


Thanks

Seems like quite a few people chose Daccord in fantasy.

For all of those… we won’t know until morning skate. Well, I won’t know at all since I don’t have any modern social media accounts.

 

[JelloPuddyPops]

i have no idea and its sarting to really annoy me. At this point i don't give a rip start the season and hope it doesn't bite the team in the rear. (it will)

Oh, good... you're annoyed again. Just like you were at draft time. Lighten up, dude. You get annoyed waaayyy too easily.

Eberle has been made the captain according to the team lineups

Yep. He is there on the ice with a C

Probably gets traded at the TDL after receiving the C...

This stat surprised me a little, though it shouldn't have. Daccord started 46 games last year for the Kraken.

Can’t like this enough

 

[PocketNines]

wow that is a lot of trust in a goalie who has not proven out yet

I like D'Accord but 5x5 for a 28 year old(who will be 29 once the deal kicks in) goalie with one full NHL season under his belt?

Hopefully he can keep it up.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

He has proven a lot more than Gru has. I do think Gru has just forced management's hand. I doubt they wanted to give another "expensive" goalie contract out but its not that they have many choices. With Daccord's contract, I would not be shocked if we see a Gru buyout next offseason.

I like it a lot.

When I first started watching hockey, the norm was 30+ year old goalies. So five years sounds reasonable to me as he is unlikely to age like a forward. And if the Kraken waited a year, and he put up the numbers he did last year, he would be a lot more expensive. I also like how it signals that the team is finally ready to move on from the Gru era.
