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.

Saw Jordan Eberle on crutches postgame, chatting with #Isles captain Anders Lee. Bylsma said that Eberle would not play this weekend during the doubleheader as he was still being evaluated following a "major traumatic crash into the boards" against Chicago. #SeaKraken #SeattleKraken #NHL

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).

Shane Wright had a season low 8:34 of ice-time and took only two shifts in the third period yesterday against the New York Islanders. With Ben Meyers currently with the Seattle Kraken, we might be getting close to see @deepseahockey.bsky.social 's prediction of Wright getting scratched.

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.

Davy Jones’ Locker Room (@davyjoneslr.bsky.social)

Dan Bylsma explained that Shane Wright’s scratch was a means to “reset” him after a tough stretch. Says “Shane’s game has been trending in not the best direction” and he wants the centerman to get back to playing “the way [he] played earlier in the season” #Seakraken

Bylsma: Eberle still having tests done Vince Dunn still has “a ways to go.” #SeaKraken

Seems like Wright will be in the press box again tonight.

Pacific Notes: Wright, Samsonov, Vaněček

Kraken center Shane Wright was a healthy scratch for the first time this season in Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Rangers. …

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.
