The Seattle Kraken officially became the NHL’s 32nd franchise when they made their final payment on Friday. That also meant the GM Ron Francis can get to work on building his new team. He can officially sign any NCAA free agent, along with Junior and European players that are aged out of the draft.
There’s already rumors that the Kraken have their sights set on a few players.
