shestYORKin Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 this team is not built to win. they have some cap space for the free agency game but that means overpaying which makes a shitty long term plan. year 1 is the perfect tank year. ticket/merch sales won’t really be affected with the new team smell. the fans will play the patient game if they see where it’s going. better do it now and get in on Shane Wright or another stud than circling back after 5yrs of mediocrity at best.

Sod16 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I suspected that people were overestimating their prospects based on Vegas, which had success that was not likely to be the norm for an expansion team even with the better players that expansion teams are being given now.

shestYORKin Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 yeah Vegas wasn’t gonna be duplicated. almost a freak accident. half the team had career years and a community tragedy brought momentum out of this world. the weird part about the Kraken is how they didn’t reach at all and literally built for mediocrity out of the gate. in a way they made it just as hard to tank as they did to get better. it’s weird. hell of a barn tho. I’d love to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAybe they want to bide their time until the cap goes up and there are decent free agents out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recipe for success nowadays is tank for few years, get as many picks as you can, let them mature and then fill the holes with trades and free agency.
