Written by yours truly,
Good evening all. Today's article we will be focusing on Micheal Owwtroms team the Seattle Kraken.
Mike was asked to describe his team with 5 words. Originally he had written "Seattle is no longer Wharton". I had advised him that this was not the way. And for the sake of the league, website and your I.P locations, I chose not to comment on this.
Mike rectified this and used his brain to figure out 5 words to describe his team. Old, young, UFA, Futureless, and Potato.
Lets start with old. Mike is old, and so is his team. But on the brightside looking in, he trade Bergeron and Marchand in a deal involving Mackinnon and Rantanen. Mike doesnt give himself enough credit here, he is not that old, after this season he has a solid core to build around aformentioned Mackinnon, Rantanen, Pietrangelo, Mier and certified beast Zack Kassian.
Now lets look at young. Wtf are you doing Mike I answered this above. I am young. You are not.
UFA. Yes, his team take a big blow this off season losing Malkin, Drouin and Hjalmarsson. Rather than sell them off for assetts, he has chosen to keep him and go for it. A respectable lion move Mikel.
Futureless. Now I dont truly 100% believe this is the case as he still has Rantanen and Mackinnon to build around with one of the top goalie prospects in the league with Shesty. In terms of prospects and draft picks, yes this is true. Next pick being in 2026 and I fully expect him to trade this. None of his prospects are relevant and would only get playing time on Ottawa's CCHL and NHL team.
Potato.
