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...
As we’ve sought reasons for optimism heading into the sixth edition of Seattle Kraken hockey, we’ve continuously found ourselves circling back to scoring winger Bobby McMann. Acquired from Toronto at the NHL Trade Deadline last season, the 30-year-old burst onto the...
The preseason is done, and the games will count from here on out, starting with the season opener in Calgary on Thursday. It’s difficult to extrapolate many insights from a shortened preseason when only the last two games resembled NHL lineups. It’s also worth noting...
The Kraken weren't as far away from a playoff spot last season as their final standing might suggest. Yes, there were plenty of frustrating nights, and the brutal home stretch where they couldn't seem to get out of their own way. But they were still hanging around the...
On Monday, Sep. 21, the Kraken announced the first wave of Training Camp cuts and reassignments. In today's edition of Kraken Contracts Corner, we'll break down those moves and then pick up with Part II of our two-part series grading the Seattle Kraken's significant...
On Sept. 4, the last of the Seattle Kraken's restricted free agents, Jacob Melanson, signed a contract with the team. Though additional signings could still come during Training Camp and into the regular season, of course, it seems Seattle's summer business has now...

After digging into Lane Lambert’s impact on Kraken goal scoring in my last piece, I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was still more research to look at or areas to explore. Goal scoring tells part of the story, but it doesn’t tell us how teams are generating...
Aside from a shooting‑percentage bender in 2022–23, the Seattle Kraken haven’t exactly been known as a high‑scoring team. But last season’s offensive output felt particularly challenging. Lane Lambert arrived with a reputation for structure and defensive...
It's fair to say this offseason has so far felt underwhelming for the Seattle Kraken. An offseason headlined Jason Robertson denying a trade to Seattle, with only small tweaking to the roster, hasn't exactly instilled confidence that things will be much different...
We’ve reached the dog days of the hockey summer, when general managers and other members of NHL front offices pack up and head to their respective cottages. During this period between the quieting of free-agent signings and the start of training camps in September,...
In a summer of eyebrow-raising moments for the Seattle Kraken, another such instance occurred last week when Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman mentioned in an article that Shane Wright’s agent, Kurt Overhardt, had gone on record to confirm that he had requested a trade...
