It always fries my brain a little to bounce to Puckpedia and see this is the 7th highest spending team in the league.

It sure does. The Kraken are a Tesla cybertruck. Expensive, but clunky and inefficient.

Where is my man Sprong?When he catches fire this guy can score but best position is LeftWing and not RightWing!!!I hope Daniel a good fit somewhere where he is appreciated and given a raise...3-4.5 M per and a 2-4 year term

Hell NO and eff NO! League minimum for one year. He floats like a guy who shows up at drop in hockey and just waits at the far blue line. He was free for a reason, and if the Kraken were a good team he’d be free again, to another team that he scores for but loses 4-3 while Sprong is on the ice for all the opposing team’s tallies.

Kokko has been meh so far in the AHL but Vyazovoy is .917 in the KHL through 11 GP. I don't really think we have any great goalie prospects but maybe one of them.

That’s the quandary. There’s no go to solution. The Kraken are going to either have to throw a draft pick at a team with a surplus (and there are too many injured goalies out there for a team to give one up readily) or they’re going to go to the waiver wire for someone as bad or worse than Grubauer. Not an ideal situation.
