2024-25 Kraken Roster discussion

[Scomerica]

Beniers is enabling scoring, but isn’t contributing directly. I’m sure he wants to shake the pack of scoring but his co tribution is impactful.

As for Evans, yes, he’s done very well and looks like an NHL player out there. I think he ends up being a guy who floats around to more ice time as injuries happen, but I’m not sure that he’s going to get it when everybody is healthy. It’s a good problem for the Kraken to have

Still think Beniers has never been the same since that concussion hit from Myers, at least goal scoring wise

Really need burakovsky to get going soon. I'm a little worried about him

Well .. we are wondering the same so not sure if we can answer that question. My guess is Gru having some really bad starts in a row OR that changing if we are in the playoff bubble sometime later this season.

This team cannot really afford to lose games given they are far from guaranteed to make the playoffs. And Daccord does give us the best chance to win.

How is gru suppose to win games for seattle if the offense isn't showing up...

The same way Daccord is. He needs to find a way. Maybe have a good enough SV% like what Daccord does. He is not getting a pass from me anymore. That goodwill had run out.

Kartye seems to be glued into that 4th line LW spot. How's he been looking and is there a hope for him to be more of a scorer down the line?

He scored a couple of games ago. I feel like he is who he is now. A guy that chips in with the odd goal rather than the guy in his rookie year that was scoring a ton

He’s doing great in his role. I’d be surprised if he ended up being a scorer, but I think he’s probably the guy that gets opportunities when other players are injured.

Daccord has a save % of 907 and Grubauer has 881. For the same amount of shots against, the difference is 2.5 goals or 2.5 more saves by Daccord. Not a lot of absolute saves but that 1 extra save against St Louis and Colorado could have given us a point in those games. Could but maybe not either.

.881 is very bad

Gru has never ended a season with the Kraken at 0.9SV% or above.

Mahura seems to be quietly demonstrating he could be a serviceable 3rd pairing D? I wonder if that’s why Fleury quietly came up and then went right back down? Wish that meant Francis was exploring trade opportunities on someone like Oleksiak but I think that’s a fantasy universe.
