on the Kraken however
here goes.
Over the weekend was the
NHL draft. They took several
centers including the first
two picks.
Free agency began after the
drafted ended. So far the Kraken
have signed two free agents.
After having a disappointed
season this last one and bringing
in a new coach they seem to be
pretty serious in getting better.
This was after making the playoffs
in their second season and having
a good run.
The first signing was defenseman
Brandon Montour who was considered
the top one in free agency at his
position. The Kraken signed him
for seven years for $50 million.
He has been in the NHL for eight
years. Looks like a good deal to
playing for the Stanley Cup champions
the Florida Panthers.
The second signing was center
Chandler Stephenson to a seven
year deal about $44 million.
Chandler had played the last
four years with division rival
the Vegas Golden Knights.
This looks like another good
deal. The Kraken with several
centers will have a lot of challenge
there for sure.
Besides the veteran signings and
not sure they are done they have
the players from the minor league
system who want to make a splash
to.
The excitement should be about
the Kraken returning to the playoffs
and we hope the Stanley Cup final
real soon. Go Kraken!
