The Seattle Kraken had a disappointing season so what do they need to do to get back to the playoffs next year? and what might they actually do? Cheap Seats Patreon: / cheapseatssports
Honestly his scoring was good but I didn't like the D side. He was only playing 10 minutes a game with Seattle but he had a Negative Plus/Minus. No we don't need a liability
I honestly wouldn't hate it if they aren't able to land any better options. I do think there are going to be a few better forwards available the question is how many and who else will by going for them.
So I'll break down your break down. Justin Schultz. I don't think they should bring him back. He was like you said the QB of PP#2 HE SUCKED at that spot. You got Ryker Evans who had imo more than earned the spot. So bye-bye Schultz. That in turn leads to Dumo. Keep him. He's a Defensive D-Man. That's what Ryker needs. That stabilizing factor EXACTLY LIKE how Larsson is with Dunn. Allowing Evans to be a little more aggressive on the pinching and offensive side knowing that Dumo is on the back to cover. Bellmare, and Yamamoto SEE YA LATER no bones about it. They were duds 100% Bellmare was brought in for 2 reasons defensive zone faceoffs and PK. When he wasn't hurt he did fine at those spots. But that's TOO SPECIALIZED for this team that struggled Offensively. It's one thing if the team was doing well but that wasn't happening. Matty MUST COME BACK if they don't sign him back that's just a TRAVESTY and Francis should be fired and replaced with a cactus. I feel the same way about Tolvanen to not sign him back it's just crazy. We need him on the PP with McCann so that you have a good 1 2 punch on both sides. McCanns snap shot and Tolvanen's One-Timer. Tolvanen did GREAT on the D side of the game though. I loved seeing him throwing how weight around stamping opponents to the glass. I wish the whole team did that. I REALLY REALLY HOPE that Seattle can go after Teavo Teravainen. He would be FANTASTIC for this team. But if we ABSOLUTELY MUST GO WITH A D MAN Brady Skjei or someone like that who can score and isn't afraid to throw their weight around. We need another hard hitting back line love Oleksiak and Borgen were. Driedger yeah bye-bye. If your gonna have a 3rd string goalie you have to have one that doesn't #1 get hurt 85% of the time and #2 doesn't cost you 4.2 MILLION a year to play in the minors. THAT'S INSANE.
The closer we get to FA without even hearing news about negotiations with any of the UFAs the more likely I think it is that they leave which is fine. Shultz was better than Dumo is pretty much every way last season but Dumo is under contract and at least one new face there might be good. Matty will be back, the only question is what the contract will look like. Tolvanen I agree should return too but if they can land a big trade and need the space then he is the one that makes sense to let go.
What players other than Beniers and Eberle would be a safe option that they’ll be here long term? Big fan of daccord, kartye and bjorkatrand but wanna get a jersey of a player that’ll be here for years to come as a kraken fan. Thanks 🙏
Beniers is the safest bet. Then probably Dunn or McCann. I think Daccord will be here for a while but Goalies are hard to predict in pretty much any way
@@CheapSeatsSports got a Beniers one so definitely hoping he always is thanks. Thinking of a kartye or bjorkstrand but don’t know how long. Like you said goalies are unpredictable but hoping we sign daccord long term especially if he plays like he did last year so will wait and see to purchase to at least the first few days of free agency. Even though nothing huge probably will happen just to be safe before I pay 250 for an authentic
Yes. I have the next one of those and some other 101 videos planned for after the draft and free agency. It's been a busy couple months but I'm going to have more time starting in August.
@@nofear8673 that was his second year man. I agree he wasn't as good as his first yeah. Not with the coach we had. Beniers didn't have much support from the coaching staff as far as offensive teaching. He was told to go defensive. And historically centerman don't really score as high as a wingers do. What we TRULY NEED is a centerman why can actually win faceoffs better that 45% of the time. And allow Beniers to play wing. Doing that his production will go up. The whole team needs a crash course in winning faceoffs though my GOD THEY ARE TERRIBLE AT THAT.
@@Skeezle1986 I’m not trashing Matty. But if he’s our 1 center. That show lack of talent. Look at most teams 1 center. He’s still young. He will grow. But thanks for reminding me how many years he’s played.
@@Skeezle1986 but speaking of another young player. I truly believe we going to see the reason Wright was a projected number 1 pick starting game one next year. Can’t wait to see Firkus when he’s ready for the show.
