Ron Francis Breaks Down Seattle Kraken Signing Brandon Montour & Chandler Stephenson Long Term

[@spencerwalton9051]

I really don’t mind both signings. Are they both too long. Yes. But I think that’s the nature of modern contracts.

[@CNIproductions89film]

Seems like veteran additions to help teach the kids. Dont harp the signings so much till you can see how it plays out in years 2-4

[@fastestgamer2428]

I wonder if we are going to sign anyone else

[@kftc1980]

If Kraken fans want to know what they got, here you go: He can fly. He works hard. He plays a fearless style. Now the bad. He is infective when he isn’t skating with Mark Stone. He is unwilling to shoot even when he has a prime scoring chance. He takes pointless penalties. He lacks hockey IQ. Oof…prepare for frustration.

[@wakankinyan]

Got a solid kick.

[@krakenspectacor]

Have you seen Wennberg? He’s a straight upgrade on Wennberg at the very least.

[@kftc1980]

@@krakenspectacor bigger cap hit, we’ll see if it’s worth it and if he can be effective without Stone.

[@krakenspectacor]

@@kftc1980 cap hit only matter if you’re going to spend the money on something else. He’s undeniably a SUBSTANTIAL improvement over Wennberg who is making just 750k less. Even in his time without Stone he is way more offensively minded and can drive a PP.

[@kftc1980]

@@krakenspectacor I applaud your optimism. He seems like a good dude, hopefully he can come into his own there.

[@wakankinyan]

Oh, hey, thats great news. We have plenty of scoring! Good to know! 😂

[@krakenspectacor]

It’s funny seeing how bad our fanbase is at understanding hockey. A PP driving defenseman and a top line center (with more pts than any other center we have) do indeed drive scoring. You also show no knowledge of why last season was so bad. You’re welcome for the education.

[@richardboholm1110]

Montour and stephenson will be LTIR in the future

[@krakenspectacor]

Cool story. That doesn’t change the fact they make the Kraken substantially better

[@nathanstarszak7844]

I love you Ron but you just not a good GM. You made some terrible signings

[@patrickmorehouse4918]

Lmao no he didn't, he just had to over pay in bidding wars for veterans who are good players.

[@mr.brenman2132]

Those aren't terrible signings.

[@krakenspectacor]

Our fanbase has a lot to learn.

@@nathanstarszak7844 cool so at least your pack of knowledge is understandable.
