The preseason is officially in the books, and Opening Night is practically here. It’s the best time of year—hope is high, the standings are clean, and nobody’s been mathematically eliminated yet. The Seattle Kraken come into this season looking to bounce back, clean...
Kraken preseason is officially underway. As I have done in previous preseasons, I like to project Seattle's playoff chances by forecasting the team's goal scoring. You can review my last three forecasts here: 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25. This forecast looks at...
Everywhere I go, people keep asking me the same thing: “So, are the Kraken going to be any good this year?” My answer? Better than the "experts" think. Now, let’s not get carried away, I’m not penciling them in for a Stanley Cup parade just yet. But I do believe this...
The Seattle Kraken wrapped up the 2024–25 season in 27th place. Not great! But while we’ve already highlighted some silver linings from this past season, it might be even more important to look at the other side: the subtle, micro-level areas where Seattle struggled....
The bulk of NHL free agency is far in the rearview mirror. But there are still some unrestricted free agents (UFAs) out there who could be intriguing short-term options, especially for the Seattle Kraken, who still need to add to their depth. The Kraken have already...

The Seattle Kraken made another move to reshape their forward group on Friday, trading winger Andre Burakovsky to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for 25-year-old center Joe Veleno. The trade closes the book on Burakovsky’s up-and-down tenure in Seattle, which began...
The Seattle Kraken have named Lane Lambert as the third head coach in franchise history, the team announced Thursday. Lambert, 60, brings a wealth of NHL experience to the franchise, both behind the bench and as a former player. Lambert most recently served as an...
While watching the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs and trying to figure out what went wrong for the Seattle Kraken, I noticed something curious. Alternate captain Adam Larsson led the team in plus/minus this past season with a plus-22 rating. That’s not shocking—he’s a...
The Seattle Kraken finished their three-game homestand with two wins and an overtime loss to the best team in the league. The first game of the week, against the Montreal Canadiens, was one of the most memorable of the season. Fans witnessed the Kraken rally from a...
At the end of February, we reviewed the unrestricted free agents (UFAs). Now that the dust has settled from the trade deadline, we'll shift our focus to the Seattle Kraken players set to become restricted free agents (RFAs) after this season. There are three RFAs to...
