If you are the type of person who appreciates suspense, the Seattle Kraken draft must have seemed like a massive missed opportunity. The Kraken made their selections in the morning, and before noon almost all selections had been leaked.
Including in those leaks, the Seattle Kraken have drafted Tyler Pitlick from the Arizona Coyotes.
Pitlick signed a two-year, $3.5 million contract last offseason with the Coyotes. In 38 games with the Desert Dogs, he had 6 goals and 5 assists and was a -1.
The selection isn’t very surprising. Most people speculated it would be either Christian Fischer or Tyler Pitlick, and the Kraken selected Pitlick.
