Should the Seattle Kraken trade for Simon Edvinsson?
On Friday night, the Seattle Kraken traveled to play the Detroit Red Wings in what turned out to be an eventful game. A second-period offensive explosion saw the Kraken come away with a 6-2 win. For everything the game had, it did not feature the likes of Red Wings...
Three Takeaways – Kraken recover for big-time 5-3 win at Capitals
The Seattle Kraken have had decent results so far this season, but their three previous wins came against the very bad Calgary Flames, the even worse Calgary Flames again, and the floundering Detroit Red Wings. Their first two outings against “good” teams ended in a...
Projecting contract extensions for Jared McCann and Vince Dunn
The Seattle Kraken have explored what it would take to resign pending free agents Jared McCann and Vince Dunn. We believe both are at least open to returning. We use market comparable contracts to project what it would take to reach contract extensions with the players.
Three Takeaways – Catton and fourth line rescue Kraken from slow start against Red Wings
After Seattle’s 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights on Tuesday, I was ridiculed by Vegas fans for my Walk and Talk, in which I stated that (A.) I thought the gameplay was a bit more even than a 6-2 score would indicate and (B.) Ben Meyers’ hit that injured Victor Olofsson...

Three Takeaways – Kraken mistakes pile up in feisty 6-2 loss to Golden Knights

A fully healthy season for Kaapo Kakko would be a boost for Kraken
There are many players on the Seattle Kraken roster who have “prove it” years ahead of them. Whether it’s for a contract next year, being able to maintain their production from the season prior, or taking a big step in development. There’s an argument to be made that...
Monday Musings: A good start for the Kraken
The Kraken are off to a great start, but I'm not celebrating anything just yet. In case you missed it, the Kraken kicked off the season last Thursday with a dominant 6-1 win over the Flames in Calgary, with six different players finding the back of the net. Two days...
Three Takeaways – Samoskevich scores two, Catton/Wright dazzle, Kraken roll again against Flames
The Kraken should petition the NHL to play the Flames every game. At such an early stage in the season, it’s a little hard to say if Calgary is that bad or Seattle is that good, but for the second time in two chances against that same opponent, the...
Kraken Road Dispatches – Vince Dunn’s future, Curtis Douglas, and an encouraging start
Hello from the friendly skies en route back to Seattle! The Seattle Kraken split their two-game road trip, with a dominant 6-1 win at the Calgary Flames on Thursday and then a stinging 3-1 loss at the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday. They now return to Seattle to face...
Three Takeaways – Kraken take hard 3-1 loss on bad-bounce Draisaitl goal at Oilers
Bummer. The Seattle Kraken, who are now 1-9-0 all time at the Edmonton Oilers, had every chance to win Saturday despite minimal puck possession in the first period, an issue exacerbated by taking three penalties and allowing the Oilers’ lethal power play to tilt the...

Hello from Edmonton, where the Seattle Kraken are set to take on the fast-and-loose Edmonton Oilers Saturday at Rogers Place. Head coach Lane Lambert confirmed that forward Mackie Samoskevich will make his debut after sitting out the first game in Calgary with an...
