Breakers
Make Mirrored Visors Legal Again
It’s between him and siegenthaler on who had the biggest drop in their underlying numbers last season
Cody Ceci, future deadline belle.The rental RHD market looks ugly now.
I can already see the dozen threads debating Savard’s value.
Seattle is going to be fine especially once more of our prospects gets onto the squad full time.
Its a fine deal in a vaccuum. I think Larsson is worth that and RD is really sparse market.
But I think the Kraken have had a really bad offseason. That team is going to be stuck in mediocrity for a long time. Francis has no vision or plan. Making the playoffs the one year was the worst thing that could of happened.

While I agree with everything you said about Francis, we should consider that Seattle is also a new market (NHL level) and they want to be as competitive as possible, to attract new fans.
As someone who witnessed what happens to young talent on a roster void of leadership and NHL quality depth for a decade I'd have to say if you can add/keep a veteran like Larsson to insulate and mentor, you do it. That's the immediate and long term benefit.
Cody Ceci, future deadline belle.
A team like the kraken, without a long established fanbase, cannot afford to tank.
They have no heir apparent replacement, why wouldn't that sign him?
They likely aren't a playoff team this year but they actively trying to improve the roster and be more competitive and aim to be a bubble team for now is my assumption, otherwise they wouldn't have signed Chandler Stephenson either.
I don’t disagree but that team isn’t really insulating youth either. Beyond Berniers and Wright they haven’t really drafted high. I am not high on Wright either.
But its not my franchise or team. I just see them stuck between 8-14 worst team but I could easily be wrong.
Larsson has always been way better than McCabe.Jake McCabe comparable?
Their contract decisions this offseason say otherwise.
They just signed Montour to a huge deal.
They could easily trade Larsson for a 1st+ this deadline and then use those assets to acquire a younger RHD.
They could get through this season with Borgen as their 2nd pairing RHD.
Not re-signing Gourde makes sense. We are loaded on forward prospects. I would not be shocked if they move him this TDL. If Wright clicks and can fit into the 3C role, it makes Gourde expendable.It's a good contract, but like why are the Kraken signing this contract. Makes no sense for them.
They going to re-sign Gourde too aren't they.
The asking price just went up to 3 unprotected 1sts.The rental RHD market looks ugly now.
