There were some good trades and pickups this year, and sometimes you get a glimpse of playoff type performances, but our consistency is nonexistent. I’m sure the coaching staff will get at least one more season before they’re in the hot seat, but they have to do something to change things up and/or get everyone firing on all cylinders.
Basically been in a downhill slide since being eliminated by the Stars.
Tough to see them doing anything this year and the coaching staff didn’t look to have any answers. You look at Detroit turning it around the second McClellan took over and I can’t help but think he would have worked wonders here.
Kakko was a good pickup though.
This was a team that was very well built the inaugural year. They had multiple scoring lines and a very decent defensive 6. They lost a bunch of guys quickly after and they’re going to have to rebuild sooner than later.
This is a team in bad shape, now and in the near future.
I started watching them in season 2, where a common phrase the TV commentators were using was "outscoring our problems" and praising the depth. I wonder what happened, the Kraken seem so... joyless most of the time.
Kakko was definitely a great pickup. It seems like anytime there's a new guy on the team, they have a great start. Tatar had a good start last year too. Let's hope Kakko stays a bit longer.
I really hope they rally a little. Gru is already in the AHL, I don't think scapegoating the goalie will work the second time.
Yea, Joey between the pipes ain’t the problem.
Joyless is a great way to describe this team. A negative vibe just permeates the ice when these guys are going. Maybe the new signings aren’t the kind to get the team up. Maybe the coaches aren’t the kind to get the team up. But damn, somebody needs to do it.
Gru was their big miss that first year. It was a good shot, worth the risk. Misses happen and you hope that someone like Joey can magically appear and fix it.
It just feels like regression from last year, which felt like regression from the year before. Nobody stays the same (except the LA Kings), you’re either going up or you’re going down. I don’t think there’s any mistaking which way the Kraken are going.
This season is burnt. The offseason needs to see either a rebuild or a serious move to improve across the entire organization.
