Im still relatively new to hockey and don't really understand how much players are worth in trades. But, instead of trading our valuable pieces like Daccord, McCann or Beniers, what could they get for players with expiring contracts like Gourde, Tanev, Borgen or even Grubauer? Like instead of draft picks, could they try to retain some of their salaries, and try to pick up some hidden gems or just some smaller contracts, or are trades like that hard to do? Instead of a lengthy rebuild based purely on drafting, since we have a solid, young core, I feel like a full on rebuild would be too much, and we just need a slight re-tooling. We got Tolvanen from a waiver claim, Kartye was undrafted, and is on a Entry level contract (was a key player in our playoff run), Daccord was let go by Ottowa, and signed with us for $1.2 million. wouldn't it would be faster to go that route? Like I said, I don't understand what a player is worth in trades so I might be seeing this completely wrong.

As a Canucks fan.. i want to see Seattle do well and build a rivalry with us. Ron Francis needs to go. He builds teams way to conservatively.

I don't think the sharks being given enough credit. We've had a bunch of close games this year even against teams towards the top of the league. I know we're not world beaters by any stretch. But I think we're a bit better than our record suggests. Espescially in this last stretch of games we've been getting better scoring from our defense, and it feels like they've built more chemistry. Not to mention Celebrini was out of the lineup for all but one game in October, and Will Smith is now starting to turn it on. I think we got more to show this season. Also Granlund is a beast!

Thanks, as a hockey fan, I can appreciate your suffering.

What losing to the 2024 Sharks does to a fan base

or sharks r just good.

Your goaltending blows.

I'm going to the game against Chicago at the United Center here in a little over two weeks. I am so scared of how this game is going to turn out following this series of games against the Sharks and Ducks. My boyfriend is a Hawks fan so this is a big game for us and I swear if we lose I am never going to hear the end of it. I wonder how much of an impact the injury to Ebs is having on our offensive production and I would also like to know wtf is happening with Gru. Like is he not trying to play as well now that Daccord has kinda gotten the spot light and he feels he can relax or is age catching up to him? He's freshly 33 but there are still older goalies in the league seemingly doing better than him. I don't know. I just scared about this Chicago game🥲

It really seems like basically nobody on the Kraken can shoot. I don't mean they don't take shots, I mean they just can't seem to shoot accurately. It's always wide or right to the goaltender.

it was goaltender interference because the kraken player backed into blackwood and literally moved his mask

The wild have already beaten Florida, Tampa twice and Toronto... Not sure what you mean when you say that they lost almost every game against teams above 0.5 point percentage

You strike me as someone that hasn't watched a single game of caps hockey this year, this team is an absolute WAGON, and spencer carberry is going to win the jack adams

The team is imploding. A shake-up is needed. Look at Nashville last year, Edmonton's terrible 1st quarter. Unfortunately someone needs to go. Burakovsky, Schwartz, Tanev, Gourde, Larsson Something has to be done

Ugh, I despise the Oilers alternate.

painful to watch

As a Sharks fan who has Kraken season tickets I’ve enjoyed the Sharks wins but I’m frustrated for Seattle. There is no team identity, defense is sloppy, and there is zero scoring depth from the third and fourth line.

Eberle held it all together. He's injured, so someone needs to step up and lead the team until Ebs is back.

Welcome to the Bylsma Experience

TLDR love the guys, tough to love the team right now I’m sure I’m not the only one who was hoping a coaching change would bring some much needed energy and consistency but it seems like Dan and co have done everything they can to try and get this group going (call ups, healthy scratches, line blenders, etc.) and nothing seems to stick. Any momentum gained is almost immediately lost and the only consistency they had in Joey has been slipping cuz he can’t carry the entire team through the season by himself. It’s hard not to be frustrated when there seems to be no cohesion throughout the lineup and even when players try to step up (Monty, McCann, Wright), the energy doesn’t seem to be there from the rest of the team to sustain them through 20 minutes, let alone 60 minutes. I especially worry how this kind of play might impact Shane’s development, obviously he’s not in the position to be *the* difference maker this season but how can he develop into any sort of difference maker with a lack of support around him? Throw on top rough contracts limiting moves that can be made and it’s feeling harder to get excited about watching this team

Yes keep kicking the sharks to the side that’s what we want. I hope we get underestimated all season and beyond

I was there and it was bs these refs suck

This has been a really depressing week to be a Kraken fan.😢

My issue is Chandler Stephenson. -10 and more TOI than any other center we have. His passing is terrible. His hustle is terrible. His defense is terrible. Why hasn't he been benched? I don't care that he's gotten points recently - his play this season does not warrant the contract he was given. Nor does it explain taking minutes from Wright's ability to develop at the NHL level. If we're going to lose can we at least get youngsters play time?

“12 days of Christmas, or in this case 12 straight goals” had me dying hahaahahaha. Hoping we can get the ship wrighted on a tough east coast road trip coming up

If they won those last 3 games they’d be ahead of Calgary and in a playoff spot.

I can’t even…. Something has to change

I’m at a loss. Just no words. 😳 I really wasn’t expecting this turn for the worst.

hockey doesn't really have a overlord like FIFA controlling everything that helps making hockey leagues a mess and other stuff like nhl having slightly different rules to rest of the world

The look Gourde gives Grubby after the fourth Walman goal pretty much tells the story. His own teammates think he sucks.

Ngl I’m not trying to be mean I think Joey is a better goalie but I still like Gru

Well i disagree with you on grubby has been good enough to win games his .88 save percentage and 3+ GAA say different. He has let in so many soft goals over the 3+ seasons it’s getting ridiculous. He hasn’t had a save percentage above .89 since he’s been here. That’s simply not good enough in this league to get you to the playoffs.

Ok I'm so over this. I hated the Grubauer pickup on the expansion draft. The only time in the 4 years of this team that he's been ANY KIND OF CONSISTENT was the Playoffs 2 years ago. Other than that IDK WHAT I'M LOOKING AT. He quite literally can't stop a beach ball. 1/2 of those goals leaked through him either in the blocker side or 5 hole. It's like watching peewee hockey. I well and truly wish Phillip Grubauer the best but it's time for him to go. Bylsma WHY DID YOU LEAVE HIM IN TO GIVE UP 8 GOALS. I'm flashing back to Patrick Roy in Montreal when the coach there left him handing high and dry FOR HALF THE GAME. I know we got a back to back but 5 goals given up on 12 shots regardless of where the score was. YANK HIM OUT. He doesn't have it. But you left him hanging in there. NOT COOL. You even said these games we can't afford to lose. WELL GUESS WHAT WE HAVE LOST 66% OF THE GAMES TO THE 2 WORST TEAMS IN THE WEST. THE DUCKS AND THE SHARKS. Where is the fire in your team this is worse than last year or year 1. IDK what I'm looking at

would be so much better with actual highlights

I try to not be a gru hater but I am having a hard time with that. I'm sure it sucks for him too, but i am ready to not see him around anymore whenever it does happen.

I think we need a change to the first line all three of them are mainly shooters and they are struggling to find any offence

So a few things I've learned from the last 2-5 games. Daniel Sprong though is a great shooter with a wicked wrist shot and one timer. He's utterly useless in pick carrying and defence. So yeah that's no help to anything but the Power Play and offensive zone. #2 what are the referees looking at. That jerk who is one of the duck Goons didn't "blow a tire" no he ABSOLUTELY LAID DOWN on his own to crash into Daccord. He's got a history of steamrolling goalies or impeding them. HOW WAS THAT NOT A PENALTY also with the uselessness of the PP I don't think the team could have scored but hey let's try a 5th time. Burakovsky sure looks different. Maybe that tic tac toe goal he got a couple games ago helped him which is awesome now we need the other 2 on his line to get in gear. Beniers and McCann. Beniers in particular we don't have Dunn or Eberle for a while. TIME TO WAKE UP OTHER 18 SKATERS. Kartye, Gourde, and Tanev can't carry the teams scoring. As much as we would love them to they are not the offensive dynamos. They set the tone as the "identity line" now the rest need to get in gear like YESTERDAY that is if you wanna go to the post seasons or even threaten to. If you don't then let's just TANK SUPER HARD and get the first round pick. Better make a choice QUICK PLAYERS you wanna compete or do you wanna suck. Those are your choices.

3 PP goals all Nov. Horrible. 0/5 On the PP especially against a very poor PK. And the unanswered pounding that Kartye took is inexcusable. This makes the Sharks Home and Home must win games.

Got dominated ….. lucky to get a win last game with the ducks

Not ideal

Devils fan here, will also be eating my anger away 😅 (love the Kraken)

I picked a good god game to completely ignore

Firebirds couldn't find it in their 2nd of the back to back vs Roadrunners either. Way she goes 🤷‍♀️ happy thanksgiving cheapseats. Your vids helped me get in to hockey and I appreciate ya!

As a Ducks fan, it’s about time we beat you guys! Haha

In what world can you put a team that has allowed the 3rd most goals in the league at the 9th spot in the power rankings? They're so bad.

Didn’t the panthers just lose to the caps at home? So gotta disagree with you there.

Goofy thinks the Rangers are good

Watching the Kraken power play is like watching someone playing a fighting video game, and all they want to do is pull off this one really tough combo. And you're just like, dude, use one of the hundreds of others combos or moves. You keep getting your ass kicked by Glass Joe.

Jets loses to the worst team in the leaque 4-1 then wins 4-1 over best team besides them. Its wierd but lets gooo

Its amazing how almost ANY goaltender can look like a future Vezina winner against us. And we have such a streaky offense. They are either good or bad. Consistently inconsistent. Bleh

I think the first goal was a defensive error. They should not have that time and space to take a shot. But more goals would be really nice.
