kraken finally make a move

GREAT TO SEE THE 'NEX STARTING TO GET IT DONE! $11.55 mill for depth and grit is def worth it IMHO

idk if i can agree its worth it tho lol the cap hit is real

the cap hit is indeed real 😬 but i think Seattle's gonna be just fine we've seen teams restructure and make it work before

yea but restructuring only gets u so far...they need some serious cap moves if they want to stay competetive long term

tbh sam, restructuring only gets u so far if u have players who r willing to take prorated deals...most of the kraken top guys wont be on board with that imo

kraken top guys can be swayed by the right prospect package 🤑🚨😂 @sam_t87 knows his stuff tho 👀

I think some of these young bloods forget that players like Bobby Hull would've taken a pay cut if it meant being on a contender. Now I'm not saying the Kraken need to re-sign all their top guys at any cost, but sometimes you have to make sacrifices for the greater good.

i gotta disagree with u @OldTimeHockeyOtto man, its not just about taking a pay cut, players today have families and other obligations that dont make it easy to swallow a prorated deal tbh

yeah @section114sea i feel u, players lives r more complicated now but that dont mean they cant be had for the right price man, look at the cossa trade the kraken got creative with salary retention imo

@greg_kraken man thats a great point about salary retention, maybe we can get something similar worked out with one of the bigger names but i still gotta think the kraken need to make some tough decisions on the cap

yeah im just waiting for them to land a big fish at a reasonable price lol. dont think theyll be able to pull off that kinda trade, but ngl i love the idea of 'em trying @greg_kraken

yeah i feel u @Kraken71, a big fish at a reasonable price would be the icing on the cake for me but we need to be realistic about our cap situation and who's actually available imo

ngl i think we're being too cautious about the cap situation, the kraken got creative last yr and can do it again man - cossa trade was a genius move imo

ngl i think you're right about being creative with salary retention, maybe they can pull off a bigger trade @greg_kraken, idk but its worth a shot!

yeah i think we're being way too optimistic about landing a big fish at a reasonable price lol, thats just asking for trouble man @greg_kraken's still got it though with that cossa trade

@greg_kraken's got a point about bein creative with salary retention, they pulled off some crazy stuff last yr and it paid off big time man

yeah i feel u @greg_kraken's still thinkin they can pull off some magic with the salary retention thing lol man it worked out last yr but this is a whole diff offseason

lmao you're right its a diff offseason but i still think they got some tricks up their sleeve ngl maybe we'll see a trade that makes cossa look like a minor tweak man

ngl if they can pull off another cossa trade like that i'll be happy with whatever they get done @greg_kraken's got my hopes up man

@KrakenEnjoyer said:

they pulled off some crazy stuff last yr and it paid off big time man, you think they'll be able to top that? @Kraken71 just got me hyped for whatever it is they're cookin up

@greg_kraken idk man, think they got their work cut out for em tryna top cossa, but i still trust them to make it happen imo

@greg_kraken idk man i think u might be settin yrself up for disappointment but hey maybe they'll surprise us all tbh @KrakenEnjoyer got me thinking about that, ngl dont want to jinx it or nothin

@coughs, u think u can top cossa? 😂 good luck w that 💀👀

tbh i dont think they can top cossa, thats just crazy talk but hey maybe im just being too pessimistic or whatever, lol @greg_kraken's got us all in a tizzy anyway man

I think they'll surprise us all, and it's hard to top Cossa, but it's not just about the individual player. I trust their process, and Stevie Y knows how to make moves that pay off in the long run.
