2024-25 Kraken Roster discussion
- Thread starter Fistfullofbeer
- 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.

Circling Seattle Sports (@circlingseasports.bsky.social)
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).

Sound Of Hockey (@soundofhockey.com)
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.Sound Of Hockey (@soundofhockey.com)

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

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.
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. …

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

It's a bummer to see him not being able to produce after the way he finished off last season on the Kraken

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....
32 Thoughts: Why the Bruins fired Jim Montgomery and what's next
After the Bruins failed to show consistent "pushback" it was time to make a change behind the bench. Plus, where the salary cap could go next, thoughts on the trade market, and more in this week's notes.

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.Well, Friedman believes the Kraken want to re-sign Yanni Gourde.
