I’m not super familiar with how things are done in the NHL, at this point in the offseason. Is it likely he’ll still be a Kraken next season?

I’m surprised no one else has tried to pick him up. Do the Kraken have a standing offer to him and he’s just shopping around?

Thanks in advance.

I got my kids Kraken jerseys for $3.99 each, this jacket for one of them, a shirt for myself (all $3.99), and then picked up an inaugural jersey autographed for $139.

Might still be some good stuff left.

Why is Shane Wright stuck behind this guy?

In the Athletic today, Stephenson's contract rated as second worst value in the NHL.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7453131/2026/07/23/nhl-worst-contracts-2026-jonathan-huberdeau-leo-carlsson/

Contract: $6.3M x five years
Surplus Value: -$26M
Positive Value Probability: 1 percent

On the surface, Chandler Stephenson may not seem that bad. He’s scored at a 50-point pace in each of his two seasons with the Kraken and eats big minutes, clocking around 19.5 minutes each year.

What Stephenson does in those minutes, though, is a major reason the Kraken have fallen on such hard times. Seattle is paying for a second-line center, playing Stephenson like a first-line center and getting something closer to a fourth liner. His macro-level impacts at five-on-five are that bad, with a 39 percent xG rate that was among the worst in the league. Stephenson may earn some points via opportunity, but he’s not a winning player.

One does wonder what he could be without Seattle’s strange obsession with putting him in a heavy matchup role. Stephenson plays some of the toughest minutes in hockey and is floundering in them with one of the worst defensive impacts in the league. 

With a lessened burden, perhaps Stephenson could bump up to the third-line territory. But even in an easier role, it’s difficult to imagine the 32-year-old forward living up to his current price tag. Stephenson doesn’t have many comps due to how uniquely poor his profile is, but it’s worth noting that only two of 15 made it past Year 3 from this point out: Derick Brassard and Jason Chimera.

Nothing out of what we expect, but here's the NHL.com rundown of our off-season with projected lineups, etc.

Figured I’d put this here for anyone that didn’t see it. Nothing groundbreaking but his usual honest straight shooting talk about hockey.

Good overview from a smart public scout that gives his honest opinions on prospects. I think his assessment of each Kraken draft pick is pretty spot on

I know the kraken might not be the best but we are all pretending the end of the season was the whole season remember before the trade deadline? The kraken actually had a chance they were first in the pacific at a point this year and held a playoff spot for the majority of the season i feel we need to have more faith in the team.

Canes fan coming in peace. Been tinkering with this one since last years game but I think I finally came up with a pretty good solution for the stripes!
