NewbieCanuckFan Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Willie Desjardins Main reason why Travis Green wasn’t fired as Benning was afraid the Kraken would name him as their head coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 3 hours ago, N4ZZY said: Is he a good coach? He’s had pretty good regular season success. Only had one season with a sub .500 record in all his years with North Dakota and then Philly. Helped develop some great NHL talent in North Dakota too. Players like Toews, Oshie, Zajac, Parise, Nelson, Stafford, Greene, Stecher, Forbort, and Schmaltz. If the Kraken decide to go younger and take the long developmental route I could see him being good with a young core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who comes out on top. I can see Seattle being good, but not quite as good as Vegas, and certainly not making it to the Cup Finals in their inaugural season.

John_Guest Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I just thought of something. Why wouldn't the Kraken take Wallstedt in the draft? It's similar to the coach choice in that nobody's expecting it. And why not? He seems to be the only player this year people are talking about as a franchise player. Isn't there some saying about building from the defense out or something like that. If they do pick Jesper things that follow are going to get interesting. Everything moves back one from the second pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNeil Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 The journey to puck drop has been filled with milestone after milestone moment: hiring our inaugural GM Ron Francis, announcing our brand, signing our first player and most recently announcing our inaugural head coach, Dave Hakstol. Climate Pledge Arena is on track to host our first regular season home game in mid-October, but we have made the decision to play our three inaugural preseason games at three outstanding local arenas in Everett, Kent and Spokane. Our three preseason games will now be played at: Sunday, September 26th Seattle Kraken vs. Vancouver Canucks @Spokane - 6:00PM Friday, October 1st Seattle Kraken vs Edmonton Oilers @Everett - 7:00PM Saturday, October 2nd Seattle Kraken vs Calgary Flames @Kent - 7:00PM As a result of these games not being played at Climate Pledge Arena, we will provide you with an account credit, which you will see in your Seattle Kraken Account Manager by Monday, July 26th. We understand that this is different than expected but we are excited to celebrate hockey across the Pacific Northwest and then celebrate our inaugural regular season games at Climate Pledge Arena with you.
