Open for discussion.
1. Larsson in the only Right Handed shot defenseman to dress for the Kraken.
2. The team is on pace for 60 points. Losing four of their past 5. Through 14 games, they are 4-9-1.
3. The Kraken next 7 games are against the Wild, Blackhawks, Avalanche, Capitals, Hurricanes,, Lightning , and Panthers.
Can they win two of them? At the 20 game point, the Kraken might be around 10 or 11 points.
4. Presently not one Kraken defenseman is positive in the plus / minus rating.
5. The Kraken have a 47.4% faceoff win percentage, 4th worst in the league.
6. Tarasenko in 12 games has 5 goals and 7 assists and 43 shots on goal. Playing third line minutes.
7. How bad would this team be without Grubauer? GMRF was close to going with Vanecek, Dreidger, and Daccord.
8. Just what is the Kraken identity? Seriously, it's not a 200 foot game. It's not defensive or offensive. It's not full of talented youth,
nor is it a heavy team to play against. Certainly, it's not being built with extra draft picks. Maybe at best it's a work in progress.
9. Does the team have a pure scorer or #1 center?
10. Which players have performed above expectations and which have disappointed?
11. When does GMRF and Hakstol free pass run out?
