As a Seattle fan, I'm don't think any of these trades as presently constructed make sense for the Kraken. Going in order:
1. I'd much rather have Bjorkstrand than Coleman. Bjorky is having a down season by his standards, but is still younger and more productive than Coleman, and does a lot of little things to help the team win that don't show up on the scoresheet.
2. The value for this one is OK for Seattle, though I think they'd prefer to keep Borgen if possible, as he's evolved into quite the underrated defenseman. Horvat would also be a good fit for what they need at this juncture. However, they're not really at the stage of their competitive window where giving up major assets for a rental. I think Horvat would be a prime offseason target for them in free agency, just not a trade target.
3. Seattle doesn't need a player with Klingberg's profile, and Anaheim would want more anyway.
4. Seattle shouldn't trade away Jones when he's been their best goalie, and the Sharks don't really need him. However, I could see the Kraken going after Reimer as a goalie target. If you remove Jones and bump up the 4th round pick to a 3rd, I think it makes much more sense for both sides and might actually be a deal that gets done.
