What’s Next For The Seattle Kraken? 2026 Off-Season Plan

1. Let me know your expectations for the Kraken this off-season

2. Big splash finally getting off of some of that draft capital

3. Somebody needs to rescue Shayne Wright from that terrible situation he’s in there. I can’t believe he hasn’t asked/demanded a trade yet. Hockey players are more Conservative by nature and Seattle may not be the kind of city they want to live in. Cheers from Castalla, Spain 🇪🇸

4. Fitting progression for an expansion team that chose a ridiculously cartoonish name.

5. Very sophomoric analysis. Just another tired old narrative from someone who doesn't really follow the team.

   You're still talking about the expansion draft.

   Still talking about Ron Francis being "stupid." Apparently, all the "experts" agree that Ron Francis is stupid, while sitting in their underwear in their parent's basement and making a YouTube video.

   Still talking about Panarin for some stupid reason. Who cares about Panarin? LA went out in 4 games with Panarin and all your other coveted star players.

   "Seattle needs a game breaking player!"…like Matthews and Nylander? Huberdeau and Kadri? Bedard? Elias Petterson and Brock Boeser? Zibanejad? Kraken were better than the Leafs, Flames, Blackhawks, Canucks and Rangers. How do we explain that?

   "It's been a whole three years since the Kraken have been to the playoffs!" Well, it's obviously SO EASY to get to the playoffs, right? I mean, Buffalo wasn't actually trying to go for 15 years, despite all the star players they had at various times. They just thought that would be too much hockey and not enough golf, right?

   "Should just go out and get a star player!", but then "oh, the UFA market isn't very good this year." Brilliant analysis. At least you catch yourself and halfway admit an NHL team can't just go out and get whomever they want, like all the other "experts".

   Shane Wright can be a big part in a trade…but obviously he won't be good if he stays in Seattle?

   Nothing about Berkly Catton, Jake O'Brien, other prospects Like Melanson, Winterton, and Molgaard making strides. Despite what you say, Beniers actually looked great and continues to get better. But hey, if Seattle isn't positioned for the Stanley Cup in a year or two, they must be a total bust, right?

   Seattle was actually in a playoff spot up until the Olympic break, then sh*t the bed strange reasons. Whatever you do, don't talk about that.

6. I've been watching the Kraken since day 1. Here are the players I feel should go. On defense: Oleksiak & Larsson. Forwards: No one is protected. As you said, we need players who can put the puck in the net. Wright hasn't worked out here. I believe McMann is going to stay. I watched the press conference, and the Kraken are talking a big game, but we will see what action they take. Action is louder than words. I agree that the extension draft was a joke. I couldn't believe some of the players he chose. Ron Frances let a couple of good players go. Geekie and Granato.

7. I said it when they did it, what made anyone think that Ron Francis was the GM for this franchise. What did he do in Carolina to speak in such a way, to make you give him the title of President and GM? Full rebuild is what they need to do.

8. Hackstol not great, but Dan Bylsma was terrible.
