Adam Proteau discusses the Kakko trade on the Seattle Kraken site.
-One of the reasons this at first glance is a major win for Seattle is the relatively small price they had to pay for Kakko. The 27-year-old Borgen is averaging only 15:12 of ice time this season, and he’s scheduled to be a UFA this coming summer.
Trading Borgen and two draft picks that aren’t going to be assets guaranteed of an NHL career isn’t that much at all, and in return for them, Seattle gets a solid two-way forward in Kakko whose best days in hockey's top league are likely still ahead.
Adam Proteau discusses a potentiale move that would be good for Seattle on the Seattle Kraken site.
-In this case, we're suggesting a Leafs/Kraken trade between two wingers: Toronto would get veteran right winger Brandon Tanev, while Seattle would land youngster Nick Robertson, and a mid-tier draft pick.
Adam Proteau talks about the Kraken's woeful offense on the Seattle Kraken site.
-So, what’s the solution? As per Puck Pedia, the Kraken have just $2.17-million in salary cap space – not enough to add a needle-mover at either end of the ice, but enough to add a bit of depth in one area or another.
But something has to improve internally if Seattle is going to get into a playoff berth position. And nobody is going to be charitable to them as they try to turn their trajectory around for the better.
