appleboy Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 The Kraken are going to grab up the ufa D men and then clubs like Van will need to trade with them to get anything. Jim may need to use our first to get anything for our back end. This will be very interesting to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Giordano - Larsson Oleksiak - ? Dunn - ? Already a very big, strong, physical unit. Get a couple of puck movers and they're ready to roll. Gio won't be around long but Cale Fleury will slip in there nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis knew they wouldn't get full value with Holtby on a $ 4 m contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Ok did the Hockey Guy get appointed to Kraken assistant GM? He called all of this 17 hours ago! For the exception of Larsson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I worry about, plus they'll trade teams guys who they pick from the draft without ever needing them. Clever asset management and building value/stock out of nothing. They're just milking the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leddy, Graves traded Dunn, Fleury, Giordano, Larsson, Oleksiak to the Kraken. Maybe Jim brings back Gudbranson to add size and strength. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody wants a $4+ million cap hit backup goalie that isn't even good in that role (though that might change under Clarke but as I said, if Holtby gets dealt, the goalie coach isn't going with him). Apparently there's been something like 8 teams calling on Holtby but agreed, they will probably want us to retain 1-2M. To be honest if we end up having to sign a backup goalie for 1-2M anyway, we may as well keep Holtby. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how the representatives of the Kraken feel about this right now.... Not only the NHL hates him but also the Kraken.... I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year we will have cap space. Just go to the draft. Get those kids signed. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he might be leaving. Monahan? Sounds like he could be leaving. Tanev will be the new C for Calgary. It's obvious at this point.
