Team: 2024-25 Seattle Kraken

Initial Creation Date: Apr. 4, 2024

Published: Apr. 6, 2024

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Seattle is ninth in the NHL in goals against but is the only team in the top 13 in GA with a negative goal differential. That suggests a lack of offensive productivity and, sure enough, Seattle is fourth worst in the League in goals for. So it seems clear to me that the Kraken should go impact-forward hunting in the off-season, either by trade or free-agent signing. The problem is that I don't see where such a newcomer would fit into this lineup and, with all those NTCs given to veteran players, it's hard to see who Ron Francis could move out of the top 9 to make room for him. With the only forward spots open the bottom 4 on the roster, I don't see how the Kraken escape another season of mediocrity. Even plugging Elias Lindholm into the #2C slot doesn't seem a realistic solution. Anybody out there have any ideas?

Maybe sign DeBrusk and slot him in at #2LW (which isn't his "normal" position) moving Tolvanen down one line and Schwartz or Tanev out?
