The Kraken Re-Sign Bobby McMann! & Acquire Mackie Samoskevich w/ Adam Wylde | Instant Analysis

1. Tkachuk-Bennett-Tkachuk is Florida’s second line now. Wow

2. These moves made me SO HAPPY.

3. Seattle is oops all middle 6 forwards

4. Was kinda hoping McMann would go to free agency but not really surprised. Seattle is a team that's been improving. U can say same for McMann as a player.

5. Neither of these two moves takes away the apathetic attitude of the Kraken fans. They are 2 middle 6 wingers who are going to be paid too much moving forward. Neither are game breaking enough to be considered otherwise. Giving up a first for Mackie just shows how poor a GM Botterill is. You don't surrender first round picks for players on the third line.

6. Florida… stealing your captains since 2020.

7. Really happy for bobby. loved him in Toronto.

8. Sooo…with what Florida paid for brady…does that mean matthews is worth 4 1sts and 3 2nds??
   If the leafs get offered what florida gave the sens.. they would be crazy not to take it

9. Steeeeeveeeee!!!!

10. No Tkachuk reaction vid yet? Yall slacking

11. Adam is such a cutie

12. Cannot express how happy I am about these moves. I would rather them swing for the fences and mess up than to stay the course like they've been doing

13. Can’t wait for dangle to cry and scream about Brady to the panthers 🤣🤣

14. Finally the kraken do something I forget their an NHL franchise.

15. Thats the way to do it, putting in the work.

16. Imagine the comments if the leafs signed a 30 year old winger with 105 career points for 6×5.75

17. I’m excited but they still need something else. I think the last move they’ll make it package Wright+ 7th overall for Kyrou. I think that might just make them a playoff contender

18. There was a 0% chance Seattle was letting McMann go after how much instant chemistry he had with the rest of the guys in the top-6. 6×5.75 is a lot, but he was always going to stay

    The Samoskevich trade is a lot of fun. On one hand, it’s a tough one to swallow giving up a 1st + a 2nd for a player with 32 points. On the other hand, his underlying metrics are fantastic, he’s fast, he’s great in transition, he forechecks well, he shoots a lot, and he’s young. All things that SEA needs, and all things that give him a lot of potential if he can get the playing time. He was also a teammate of Matty Beniers at Michigan, and they’re still close friends — so that’s cool, and likely good for the locker room chemistry

    This can’t be it though. They need at least one more big forward move, and in a perfect world, they will completely overhaul this blue line, because it has performed worse than the sum of its parts for a couple seasons. There needs to be some major changes, and perhaps that big forward move could involve Vince Dunn. And perhaps there’s a separate move that could involve Bowen Byram — whatever it is, there needs to be a shakeup

19. Really prefer listening to u without Dangle the big mouth. Cannot stand the loud mouth so this is so much better

20. more middle six forwards but they are, as steve likes to say, DOING SOMETHING. always nice to see us actually trade and for players at that. and keeping McMann is great.

21. Seattle traded a 1st round draft pick for a "this could have been a 2nd round draft pick" player. The Kraken have a solid goalie, a couple decent defencemen, and I liked it when they looted Kaapo Kaako from the Rangers. They had all of the advantages of Vegas (other than surprise) in the expansion draft and didn't do much with it. I didn't expect them to do as well as Vegas made out, but the media were cheering them on afterwards for how much salary cap space they had because that was pretty much all they had.

22. This might very well be one of those trades where we will go "worked out great for both teams" in the future.
