Friends, let’s get Kraken!
The 2021-22 season sees the National Hockey League expand to 32 clubs with the addition of the Seattle Kraken, finally balancing the organization into four evenly-distributed divisions of eight teams. (Seattle bumps Arizona to the Central Division in the process.)
So, what can we expect from this expansion team?
2020-21 recap
Seattle didn’t exist last season. They accumulated the bulk of their roster in July’s expansion draft.
Changes
The Kraken have been cobbled together over the past few months through the expansion draft, free agency and a few minor trades.
