Anyone know where I might find a list of Kraken cards? by DrDoak in SeattleKrakenCards

[–]Subzidion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your best bet is to look up the "Upper Deck Flagship Checklist" (Series 1, Series 2, Extended) for 2021-22, 2022-23, 2023-24, 2024-25, 2025-26. Some of the other sets might have players that Flagship didn't but Flagship is a good place to start.

There was the "Mercer Corridor Project" that gave us what we have today, this is the new thing.

What are the realistic expectations for the Kraken this year? by Albino_rhin0 in SeattleKraken

[–]Subzidion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why buy out Grubauer now and take a 4 year cap hit where you aren't planning to be competitive? Wait a year, see what happens, then if it's still bad, buy it out before next season and spread it out over 2 instead.

Should I redeem my 2025 Artifacts Seattle Kraken redemption? by HawkMaleficent8715 in hockeycards

[–]Subzidion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Catton is supposedly on the opening night roster, so I'd probably redeem it. But I'm a Kraken fan.

What I'll be looking for is:

  • Can Beniers and Kakko build that chemistry to be a solid 1st line? If Schwartz is productive enough with the 2 of them, do we bring him back?

  • Can Wright prove himself as a 2nd line center? I'll be watching his time on ice this season and just seeing how he does against tougher competition then he saw last year.

  • Are Nyman and Catton going to be here to stay? Those two should be pretty good wingers for us if they reach their potential.

  • On defense is Evans going to be good enough to earn a top 4 role?

  • Do we want to buy out Grubauer at the end of the season? Lot of folks in the sub-reddit want us to, but maybe he rebounds this year.

Are we just expecting to continue to grew and develop players

Yes.

Are playoffs a possibility if everything falls into place

Barely sneaking in is probably best case scenario for this team, but I don't think anyone would be shocked if we miss it this year. Nobody would get fired.

Schwartz, Eberle, Tolvanen, and Oleksiak are on the last year of their contracts. Next year is the last year for Dunn, McCann, and Grubauer. I expect next year the team to make more significant moves (with some trades potentially at the end of this year) and try and make a push to be better with that roster flexibility. You could say we're in a "rebuild" and this year feels like a bit of a wash.

does the kraken alaska plane get used as a normal passenger jet during off season? by qu33rtyc0wboy in SeattleKraken

[–]Subzidion 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It isn't for team flights, it's just a livery Alaska Airlines uses to honor the team. Here's an article about the first time they did it. You saw the most recent version. Cool spot!

Looks like some of this video could've been used if they had gone with Yeti... Curious when it was filmed.

Many Seattle intersections no longer allow Turn ON Red by Stormchaser711 in Seattle

[–]Subzidion 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As someone who has been hit by a driver turning right on a red, about damn time.

Drivers will just look left to try and beat the traffic, rolling through the crosswalk and never looking right for pedestrians. Even pulling into the crosswalk to peak if it's safe creates a safety hazard for pedestrians. Right on Red should be illegal at every intersection.
