DJLR Free Agency Frenzy LIVETHREAD
Welcome to free agent frenzy, friends. The NHL has already begun making goofy trades all over the place after the Kraken made a perfectly reasonable call for Mackie Samoskevich, so let’s enjoy the magic as it unfolds! What do the Kraken Need? The Smart-ass answer is “everything”, but I think we can be a little more specific than that. Dire Needs: Younger, more mobile defenseman The Kraken’s biggest achilles heel on D is that they’re old, slow, and struggle with adjusting in net-front work. Adding Brandon Montour last season helped, Chase Reid will absolutely help in that regard, but work still needs to be done in order for this team to compete with the Pacific, which has doubled down on offensive skillset across the board. High-End Goalscoring Forward It’s a constant struggle and it’s always a real pain to keep bringing it up, but yes; the Kraken need somebody who’s willing to go to the net and shoot there. Re-signing Bobby McMann definitely improves the going to the net part, but the Kraken desperately need at least one higher skill forward that can allow them the ability to take over a shift or two and quarterback a power play. Would be nice to have: Left Wing Depth According to EliteProspects.com, the Kraken only have four natural LW players in the entire system; including the NHL team. Obviously it’s fine if you plan on converting a couple of your undersized Centers to wing full-time, but it absolutely can’t hurt to have at least one more! An Upgrade at Center (strictly NHL) I’m not looking at a specific player at the moment! Certainly not! I’m just saying that if the Kraken mean to improve for next year, then they should think carefully about the contract terms of their Center depth, and then make some decisions on possibly upgrading them. Maybe not a wild change, but definitely one that could improve by subtraction or by creating opportunity for other players. Clearer Answer for Goaltending depth in Coachella The goaltending situation for the Kraken seems to be okay at the moment? Definitely not perfect, but they were able to make it work. Their AHL squad meanwhile, has Nikke Kokko on the last year of his RFA contract, Victor Ostman actively looking for his first contract out of RFA, and Kim Saarinen waiting in the wings. As Seattle’s luck has often lent the Coachella Valley netminders a chance to play at least a couple games in the NHL, it would be a good idea for the team to look at the development of these players and come up with a clearer picture. Stuff they’ve already done: Given Lleyton Roed and JR Avon 1 year contracts Said goodbye to Jaden Schwartz 🙁 Let madness continue!

Kraken Select F William Tomko 204th Overall!
The Kraken’s final selection is here! Meet William Tomko! Tomko appears before us as a Right shot Forward at 6’0, 198 pounds, playing for the Sioux Falls Musketeers, who will be heading to his first season at Ohio State. He has distinguished himself through a high energy, physical playstyle that allows him to go get after pucks with aplomb. Let’s all welcome William to The Deep!

Kraken Select D Rylan Singh 198th Overall!
The 1st of the last round of the playoffs involves a young man from Pickering! Rylan Singh plays for the Guelph Storm, having a respectable line for a defenseman in OHL time, and stands at 6’0, 187 pounds; shooting right. Here are his stats!

Kraken Select D Ola Palme 166th Overall!
Another swede! This one having fallen quite a bit according to the prognosticators! Palme comes from the Växjö Lakers HC U20 team, where his smart, sensible game as well as quick passing gave him a respectable point total for a defender, and a nod for Sweden’s U18 World Juniors roster, where they won Gold. Palme was also ranked by EliteProspects at 100th overall, 79th overall by The Hockey News’ Tony Ferrari, and 38th among EU skaters by the NHL Central Scouting poll. This young man may be a hidden gem? It remains to be seen. Let’s all welcome Ola to The Deep!

Kraken Select Luken “Hawke” Huff 148th Overall!
I do not mean this lightly. Hawke Huff might be in the top 10 of names in this draft, and there are some good names in this draft. Huff comes to us from the Cedar Rapids Roughriders in the USHL, where he stands at 6’3, 198 pounds. He’s an overager, but he’s definitely built for pro hockey at this stage. How he handles the next step, playing for St. Thomas in the NCAA, remains to be seen. But I mean, any time you can draft someone by the name of Hawke Huff, you gotta do it. Let’s all welcome Hawke to The Deep!

Kraken Select Defender Finn Kearns 131st Overall!
Now this is an interesting pick. Seattle traded down for this pick with the New York Rangers, and selected a player from Prep High School, who is now committed to playing at Umass Amherst for the Minutemen this Fall. He was unranked by everybody, and while his dimensions of 6’3 and 212 pounds is enticing, we’re probably gonna need to see some of what he can do at UMass before we make any real judgements on him. What are you cooking here, Jason? Let’s welcome Finn to The Deep!

Kraken Select F Viktor Fedorov 99th Overall!
The Kraken used their 99th overall pick to get a little russian flair in their draft class! Fedorov comes from Tomsk, Russia, sitting at 5’10 and 183 pounds, shooting left. He plays in the Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod club; which like all Russian teams, tends to ping-pong it’s prospects across their teams until they find a spot in which they can sit. As a result, he played in all three levels of their system and got points in all of them; showing a patient, intelligent style of play while not shying away from physical contact. His point totals aren’t going to wow anyone, but he was spending a lot of time getting sent up and down the Novgorod system this year, so it’s at least understandable. With more stable minutes, I imagine he’ll start to blossom into who he really is. Here are his stats! Let’s all welcome Viktor to The Deep!

Kraken Select F Casey Mutryn 38th Overall!
The Kraken’s 2nd rounder was used on USNTDP winger Casey Mutryn! Mutryn hails from Norwood, MA and is 6’3, 203 pounds, shooting Right. He’s primarily known in the USNTDP circles for his defensive game, which has made him a nightmare to forecheck against, as well as his willingness to get physical without overcommitting. Here are his stats! Stats provided by EliteProspects.com Let’s all welcome Casey to The Deep!

Kraken pick Chase Reid 7th Overall!
OH MY GOD CHASE REID WAS AVAILABLE FOR THE KRAKEN AND THEY TOOK HIM Chase Reid is a Michigan born defender who stands at 6’2, and weighs in at 194 pounds, shooting Right. He was considered one of the better skaters in this draft, and finished his season with the Greyhounds with 48 points in 45 games. He’s set to play for Michigan State University this fall. Here are what his stats look like; per EliteProspects.com Really cannot overstate how happy i am with this pick. Just a slam dunk choice. Let’s all welcome Chase to The Deep!
