2024-25 Kraken Roster discussion

Sucks for Eberle but I’m entirely meh about its impact on the team.

 

[Scomerica]

Wow. Wasn't expecting 3 months. Hopefully he is the same player after. Sounds a brutal injury

The responses on BlueSky are very doom and gloom, which surprises me. I like Eberle and all but we're not talking about losing Alex Ovechkin here?

Just use BluseSky for news. Use the boards here for the doom and gloom ..

 

[Fuhrious]

I’m a big part of here’s doom and gloom, in fact!

Any chance RF is on the phone with Carolina about Grubauer?

Stranger things have happened. But I just don't see how a competing team would trade for him.

Yeah I think any hope for a trade would require a decent bit of desperation from the receiving team, which Carolina may or may not be feeling, and equally how much retention Francis and his superiors are willing to absorb in a deal.

Given the Kraken have never really done a retention deal, it’s hard to know where they land on it?

With the stuff about Gourde earlier today, it’s hard to shake the vibe that they’re still running this team as a marketing endeavor rather than a serious Stanley Cup pursuit?

That did run through my head too. I would not be shocked if the reasoning is, "Yanni is a leader. The fans love him."
