Sean Maloughney: Pre-Season Coming To A Merciful End - Kraken Edition

Pretty close to set. Not surprised with Dreidger, almost a given really from moment they were shopping him and Daccord makes less.

Im not at all sold on Yamamoto. Wright I think may get in more than we think. The offseason with Gary Roberts he hasnt been bad. Wennberg being utterly hnable to win faceoffs opens that door a lot. If Wright can improve defensively as he goes, might just be a mive for Francis to look at making.

Bit surprised Lind didnt make it but too many forward bodies. Numbers game bit him really.

The Athletic’s model has the Kraken finishing 6th in the division with around 90 points. Now the difference between 3rd and 6th isn’t that much, but still. Sheesh.

Everyone seems to think they are going to regress. They wont take anyone by surprise. Edmonton hasnt changed much. Vegas is Vegas. LA Im not sure is actually better. SJ and Ducks not that much of a threat. So finishing 3rd or 4th is probably where we end up in the division. I think we get close to last years tesults honestly.

Well 2-1 end of 2. Not bad at all really. McCann's goal was a beauty. Gotta stay out of the box though

3-1 now. Well damn. That wraps that up. Decent game even if the outcome sucked.

Was pretty much regular season teams. Wonder if Evans/Kartye get sent down tomorrow or not.

I hope not but of the two think Kartye likely is safer to stick. Then again who jnows. Evans has t looked out of place at all with the big club.

Dreidger, Fleury, and Hayden on waivers

Now to see if anyone snags Dreidger

And there goes Wright and Evans to Coachella today too

Well roster set, everyone cleared waivers. Lets go

and they're only at 22 players, so they've left themselves some room to maneuver and will start accruing some additional cap space as long as they stay well under. Hopefully no injuries to speak of early on.

True there. Prefer no injuries. Still some talk Evans could pop back up and be with the big club too. Doubt Megna really gets in much at all.

Fingers crossed for a really good start to bank up the easy earlier points for later in the season.

I haven’t really looked at the schedule, but I’ve heard people say the Kraken have a tough go to start the year.
