After opening the 2026-27 season with a mix of encouraging wins and stumbles against Vegas and Edmonton, there is a lot we still don’t know about this Kraken squad. Seattle is heading out on a five-game road trip that will test its depth, resilience, and ability to compete when the comforts of Climate Pledge Arena are nowhere to be found. It’s hard for fans to g...

Game 4: SEA @ Detroit

Hey, winning is more fun! The Wings finally broke into the win column Tuesday with a 5-3 victory over Ottawa, getting contributions up and down the lineup and, perhaps most importantly, looking like the better team for long stretches of the game. Tonight Seattle comes to town at 2-2-0. The Kraken have been a little all over the place so far, scoring six goals twice and managing just three combined in their other two games. Jordan Eberle has points in all four, and Brian McCann has a ...

Analysis: Kraken Could Make Two Big Simon Edvinsson Offers

The Seattle Kraken have tried desperately to make impact additions to their roster. Unfortunately, general manager Jason Botterill’s attempted trades for Artemi Panarin and Jason Robertson did not come to fruition. But, there’s a new big fish available on the market. Sportsnet’s Elliotte Freidman reported that restricted free agent Simon Edvinsson “prefers” a trade from the Detroit Red Wings. That’s a little softer than the explicit trade request that their former captain Dylan Larkin ma...

Report: Kraken Blockbuster Trade Idea Emerges For Simon Edvinsson

The Seattle Kraken have emerged as a possible landing spot for Detroit Red Wings defenseman Simon Edvinsson, and one insider is already floating a name that could make a deal work. David Pagnotta said on Tuesday's Morning Cuppa Hockey that Seattle is a team he believes has interest in "a guy like Simon Edvinsson," and he wondered aloud whether the Kraken would "utilize a guy like Shane Wright in a package for him." He added that he was "trying to connect some dots here," so the Wright part is ...

Analysis: Catton, Wright Showing Development for Kraken Early

The Seattle Kraken’s success this season is dependent on Berkly Catton and Shane Wright. If the Kraken, despite their low playoff odds, can make the postseason: it will probably be because Wright and Catton took steps forward. If the Kraken miss the playoffs, but these two youngsters improve, that gives Seattle something to build on for the future. So far, the 2-1 Kraken have gotten exactly what they needed from Wright and Catton. They started the season with youngster Ryan Winterton, bu...

Kraken Off to Most ‘Prolific’ Start in Franchise's Short History

The NHL is playing an 84-game schedule this year. It’s going to feel more like a marathon than ever before. Yet, for a three-game stretch, things feel different for the Seattle Kraken. That’s a dangerous feeling of course. Those good vibes could float away and disappear like an ember from a campfire caught in an updraft. But for now, this is all we have to go on. There were, and still are, legitimate concerns about the 2026-27 Kraken. Scoring has been a major concern for most of this fra...
