2024-25 Kraken Roster discussion

If we could nurse a first round pick for Gourde that would be great. Regardless I'd much rather go the picks route with Gourde than trade him for Robertson who seems to me to be a likely career third liner, if that.

Yeah. For Gourde, I would definitely prefer a better prospect than Robertson. That and I think the team already has enough small-ish wingers. We could use some more size at forward.

Or just go for pure picks. I think Gourde at 50% + a 4th (or something small like that) could end up getting us a late 1st round pick.

I get Olofsson because of the Borgen trade but don't get the Meyers one. We healthy scratched Kartye last game for Sprong so had an extra forward. Guessing there is another injury we don't know about? Or maybe an upcoming trade (unlikely).

Felt like Meyers being a halfway capable bottom-6 C got him a fair bit of run from Bylsma. I think that's about the only thing that sets him apart from the others you mention.

EDIT : I retract this statement, I got Meyers and Stephens mixed up. I have no clue why they brought Meyers back up.

back to back games so its a in case of a injury.

Am thinking we brought back the wrong depth forward as well, Ryan Donato has been kinda tearing it up.

Price was right for Sprong. Got him for the bus fare from Vancouver.

Projected out to 82 games, Beniers finishes the season with less than 10 goals. That's incredibly concerning.

Maybe Beniers should get a game or two on Gourde's wing?

Not sure what's going on with him but if it were me I'd be jettisoning McCann from either the roster or the top line for a few games/weeks and see what happens. Not only has he not looked the same offensively but he's pretty much been an active detriment defensively.

I’d bet my mortgage he’s playing with an injury.

Seems likely, but also seems like the best thing to do would be to rest him until he isn't?

I'd imagine it's one of those injuries that a player can tend to play through but also has a long recovery time if fixed.

He's got a few days off right now, hopefully that helps.

You aren’t watching at all are you? Lol

Are you?!?

Another wasted year of mediocrity. Why aren’t we tanking to get lottery picks? If Ronnie wants to win now why is he so f***ing bad at it?

We need to fire this absolute loser ASAP.
