Honestly, his 2nd best trade was the Hainsey trade...to us...where he fleeced us for a 2nd and Kristo.
Not a great list. Bold move to start your entire franchise off on your trade skills.
McCann and Tanev for Hallander and a 7th 2023...

Tarasenko is a no small risk, and while Voracek still puts up numbers, he's becoming streaky as hell, is 31, and I'm pretty sure his cap it is $8.25MM for the next three years. No thanks. Not sure how excited I could get for a 32 year old JVR with I think two years left at $7MM. With that said, absent some further roster changes, it looks like goals may be hard to come by for the Kraken.Lol to Tanev getting 20.
And still its about more than pace. Those aren't proven guys. Pick any one. JVR, Voracek, or Tarasenko and you have a know threat and face of the offense.
They haven't used 36% of their cap yet. We don't know what agreements were made between GM's to dissuade picking certain guys. That'll be announced tomorrow.You pretty much need 250 goals minimum to even have a shot at reaching the playoffs. Just not seeing that group scoring that much even factoring in bigger roles and more offensive opportunities.
Who the F would wanna sign with that garbage team? They're gonna have to use all the cap space they gained with taking awful players in overpaying FAs.They have a boatload of cap. They could sign the top 3 free agents and still have cap space. They will pick up a few good players for cheap purely cause they are the only ones that can.

Oleksiak's is inexplicable. Did you know he is the heaviest player in the league? Outweighs Chara by 5lbs.I guess it’s the D heaviness of the draft in addition to the Oleksiak and Larsson deals that rubs me the wrong way.
Not sure I’d say getting a top pairing D for a Cup win is a fleece. But K.

I have it on good authority that McCann is the next Karlsson, and will be good for roughly 40g and 70pts, thank you very much.how are 2 or 3 year contracts issues? They arent competing for a cup this year or next and by the time they need cap those contracts are gone. The team has a ton of cap anyways. JVR and Voracek paced for almost 70 points each last year. Seattle will be lucky if any of the players they picked besides Eberle hit 50.

And Tanev's a 20g guy somehow.
He paced for 18 in a bottom 6 role. Give him 2RW with two decent guys combined with some PK and 2PP...it's not impossible. Before his injury he was rippin it up, I was actually impressed.
so no side deals to not take a player. Really? Couldn’t even grab a few mid round picks?
Wonder if that reported Giordano to NYR thing ends up being true. If so, godspeed, Drury. Enjoy your new Shattenkirk.
Both JVR and Voracek paced for 62.9 points last year. Both players are likely to see production deteriorate. But I don't know what the hell the Kraken are doing. Maybe they want a shit-ton of cap for the trade deadline or even next year's free agency? I suspect they drafted some of these guys based on discussions they had with other interested teams, so we'll see what their real roster looks like in two months. I'd guess the six players they paraded in front of ESPN today at Lake Union are the only locks. But I was sure VGK would suck for years after their draft. Kinda missed that one.how are 2 or 3 year contracts issues? They arent competing for a cup this year or next and by the time they need cap those contracts are gone. The team has a ton of cap anyways.
