Cash or Czech Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 #SeaKraken are trading Tyler Pitlick to #Flames for a 2022 4th round pick. Sure, even less forwards. Gonna play Giordano and Dunn on the wings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Sure, even less forwards. Gonna play Giordano and Dunn on the wings? Francis' strategy is all coming into view now: pick terrible players and trade them for even less. Hopefully Drury is circling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you say that? They got MORGON FREAKIN GEEKIE! They'll show Vegas how to do it the right way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash or Czech Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Red Wings have 6 lol Detroit also has 5 RFAs and 5 UFAs. I included free agents in the Kraken's total...that's literally all they have in the system. I guess the total doesn't count Geekie, Quenneville, Lind, or True.

BrooksBurner Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 How is there such little movement a day before the draft, a day after expansion, and the day a week long transaction freeze is lifted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome way for the Kraken to build their fan base by going 29-47-6 this season. Drive by comments aside; the Athletic did a good job articulating that Vegas really did not start with that much more offense than Seattle is starting with. The real X-factor here for Vegas was the development of Karlson, Tuch, and Huala in their run up to that Cinderella Stanley Cup season. Certainly nobody had them as favorites for the Cup finals 3 days after the expansion draft; even though there was a general sense that they had built a really solid foundation with all of the great little side trades that are largely absent from the Kraken at this time. https://theathletic.com/2722758/2021/07/22/a-side-by-side-comparison-of-seattles-and-vegass-expansion-draft-haul/ Then again who is to say that Mason Appleton, Nathan Bastion, and Morgan Geekie don't have similar breakout seasons with more opportunity than in their previous organizations?

LindG1000 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Geekie and Appleton really could, too. Seattle's saving grace right now is that they're sitting on a lot of left side D they can flip and that they're in the Pacific division, where the points are made up and talent doesn't matter.

Comparing Vegas to Seattle doesn't even make sense, GMs now experienced with the process and didn't make foolish trades like the Panthers trading R.Smith to Vegas so they would draft Marchessault. If half of the UFAs for next summer are available Seattle is better off giving 3 or 4 of them $7.5-10mil a year than Price, JVR, Tarasenko, Duchene. Why would Seattle want to bail these teams out of these contracts and free them up as competition in next years UFA frenzy? For what to sell some Jerseys for a guy like Tarasenko they'll be trying to get rid of by mid-season? Seattle is going to be in a weak division will be a tough team to play against could grace .500 of better then their competition in cap space will be the Sabres, Devils, Red Wings, Senators.
