Seattle Kraken
Matty Beniers (50 points) and Jared McCann still drive the offense, but the Kraken missed the playoffs again, stuck in the identity-less middle they have occupied since their improbable 2023 second-round run. The defensive metrics are middle of the pack, the offense is middle of the pack, and Joey Daccord's goaltending was most of what kept them out of the basement. The summer underlined the core problem: Seattle swung for Jason Robertson and got turned down, the star winger declining a trade before signing in Dallas, a reminder that this is not yet a destination. So the front office did what it could, locking up Bobby McMann long term ($5.75M through 2032), adding winger Mackie Samoskevich from Florida, and drafting defenseman Chase Reid seventh overall, a real prospect but a year or more from helping. Five seasons in, Seattle is still searching for a true star and a clear direction, and that, more than any single move, is what the summer confirmed.
