Team Identity

Tight-checking mediocrity · Treading water

Matty Beniers and Jared McCann still drive the offense but the Kraken missed the playoffs again, stuck in the same identity-less middle they've been in since their improbable 2023 second-round run. Defensive metrics are middle of the pack, the offense is middle of the pack, the prospect pool is middle of the pack, and Joey Daccord's goaltending was the only thing keeping them from being genuinely bad. Five seasons in and the Kraken still don't have a real star, a real direction, or a real reason to tune in, the most aggressively forgettable team in the NHL.
