I'm confused on the vision in Seattle, is that good? Are they trying to get Wright? It seems to me like they won't finish in the bottom 5, both won't either do the playoff.. which is the worst place to end up... we'll see, I guess!

I agree they'll probably end up middle of the pack, which is especially painful for an expansion team that failed to acquire loads of draft picks like Vegas did when they entered the league. I hope for their sake that if they finish as a 9th or 10th seed in the west, they win a lotto spot and get Wright at #1 or worst case Geekie/Lambert at #2.

Their defense is decent enough for now but that offense looks rough. Unless they pull off another miracle like the inaugural Vegas team, I worry for Kraken fans that they're going to experience the pain of being a .500 team their first few years. I'd rather be a cellar dweller for a couple years than be in that kind of position to start a franchise.
