I like where your head is at with Grubbie, Burkie, but I think Schwartz is hungry enough around the puck, that with an upgraded line, he could produce.
If they can both get their shit together I feel like the NHL would benefit from a heated northwest rivalry between the Kraken and Canucks. I’d love to see it.
Im a pretty big kraken fan and posted to the kraken subreddit a couple days ago how this team needs to start the tank and I got absolutely LAMBASTED for it. Straight up this team is going to waste the careers of Matty Beniers and Shane Wright and its time to sell off fan favourites not only so they can go win a cup but so this team can get younger and develop some actual high end talent. Step 1 is to find a coach that can actually develop Matty and Shaney offensively whether that be thru systems or acquiring an actual high end guy like marner and step 2 is to move heaven and earth to move off the stevenson contract since grus money will be off the books by the time the kraken will be looking to contend and monty is playing pretty well but is in a darnell nurse situation where hes just overpaid
Surprised you mentioned the Bears coach as a possibility without mentioning that it was the Firebirds they put on their way to their two Calder cups. Anyway, I’ll be surprised if they go that route. Promoting a guy from the AHL who was good at development was why they chose Bylsma. They’ll want a change.
This is almost exclusively our directionless Front Office and Ownership. Didnt fully commit to the build we were promised and signed terrible, poorly aging contracts. I think you are 100% right in the team needing to go younger. They need to offload middle six forwards and Oleksiak and replace them with young talent and prospects. I do believe that Shane Wright is already the best forward on this team and should be 1C. Stephinson is a 3C who doesnt play defense. Hopefully this offseason gives us some direction.

Hard to pin this on Bylsma when the team only has 1 top 6 forward, below average defense, and a brutal grubauer contract

No identity? Utah doesn't have a name! Lol
You will have Mitch in the summer.
Zero chance Marchand comes to Seattle
Gonna put this to practice in FHM11, we'll see how it goes
I am amazed Ron Francis still has any job – let alone one with real power after the damage he has done.

Speaking of no identity, i live in Arizona
You should do one of these for the red wings after they regressed this year

Schwartz. You think 5.5m is too much for a guy that scored 26 goals? Good luck doing better for less.
