My only issue with Wennberg is $4.5M is a lot for the points he produces but value wise it’s a very fair trade

I was going to compliment you on the title….but….you…..didn’t….trade Wright, so I feel let down ☹️.

However, all your moves seem well thought-out and reasonable…so you have redeemed yourself 👍.

Most of these moves look good from my point of view and pretty representative of the more low-key offseason I expect the Kraken to have. I probably wouldn't sign Craig Smith and just roll with Tye Kartye in that last winger spot, and I think the Kraken could take advantage of Boston's cap crunch and get Forbort for free/future considerations. I would also see if Sprong could return a higher pick instead of a couple of mid-round picks, but we'll see what happens, if he even departs Seattle at all.

Overall though, nicely done.

Yeah, he isn't a 2C and he's overpaid so if Seattle would retain some, he could be a solid 3C option.

Aha my apologies on no Wright trade. I appreciate the feedback.

Thank you for the feedback.

I'm with you I think Tye Kartye should get a look but I'm unsure if they'd want to subject him to 4th line duties considering where he was slotted in the playoffs. Only time will tell, but I agree he should be an NHL player next year.

Seattle's an interesting case in that, thanks to their depth, their "fourth line" isn't a fourth line in the traditional sense. It was oftentimes a source of offense, with guys like Sprong being real contributors on that end. I think Kartye is good enough on both ends of the ice to handle whatever role the Kraken give him, but as you said time will tell.
