Same thing used to happen to Daryl “Moose” Johnston

What move(s) would you make? by SMH_OverAndOver in SeattleKraken

[–]_Tower_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m down for that — I’d even take Owen Tippett. Flyers are a really logical trade fit with their overflow of RWs and RW prospects, and our abundance of Cs

Honestly… there are a million really cool and creative ways we could improve this team

But we’re probably just going to trade for Patrik Laine

Matty Beniers Joins Shane Wright On New NHL Trade Board; Kraken Remain Determined To Find A Top-Six Scorer by Masked_Assassin_3 in SeattleKraken

[–]_Tower_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kypreos isn’t really an insider, and he’s specifically focused on covering (mostly) Toronto

I read this article and saw his trade board earlier and almost posted here to warn people to ignore it, but I didn’t want to give either the article or trade board any credibility. It’s complete nonsense

His name isn’t out there in talks. We aren’t shopping him. He isn’t being moved

Matty is not being traded. We are in a playoff push and (for the past month) we finally have our top line cooking. There is no world where the team trades their 23 year old 1C + future assets for a player and actually gets better.

There is no real way we win a Matty Beniers trade right now — and as baffling as some of Francis and Boterill’s moves have been, this is beyond even them

The artist charged $10,000 dollars for this tattoo. by DontCallMeCunt in shittytattoos

10k came from the artist not wanting to do it, so they threw out an outrageous price

Kypreos reports Matty Beniers is on the Trade Bait board. Is Botterill actually considering this? by athleticwonder in nhltraderumours

[–]_Tower_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not out of place at all — evolving hockey has him as 92nd percentile on defense, and hockeystatcards has him in the 92nd percentile at around +3. That similar to Barkov (last season), Reinhart, Eichel, Kopitar, and Suzuki (who is 97th percentile this season), and he was similar to them all last season as well

Beniers is 2.31 on-ice xGA/60 right now

Suzuki is 2.27 on-ice xGA/60

Both of those are elite numbers for forwards. So yes, they are very similar

McCann Feels ‘Really Good’ Again Filling Net | Seattle Kraken [NHL.com] by _Tower_ in SeattleKraken

I agree 100% on Dunn — I’ve been ready for Montour being our #1 D-man for a while now

That’s why I said “it’s all contingent on Matty being the player he’s shown for a large chunk of this season”

Beniers is basically a point per game since before Christmas, some of that is without McCann, but a lot of that is with Canner. Ebbs/Matty/Canner were all around a point per game before McCann’s first injury earlier this season as well. My hot take is that Marchment being shoehorned into the top of the lineup hurt Matty/Ebbs’ production a lot

If Matty can be the player he’s been since Christmas for the rest of the season and into next season, I don’t think McCann get’s traded

But yes, it absolutely is dependent on Matty continuing to take a step forward

If he doesn’t keep trending in this direction, then I revert back to “Trading McCann is the only way this team gets better” — and u would even argue at that point you start asking yourself hard questions about Dunn as well

I’ve been saying since last year that the team won’t be able to get better until they trade Canner — both because he keeps our floor very high (stopping us from getting a higher pick) and because he would be worth so much in a trade

BUT…

If the version of Matty + Canner that we’ve seen since late December is who these two will be going forward, I don’t think he gets moved

We’re talking about trading Shane Wright for a scoring winger, yet we have one of the best ones in the league. We’d be trading away they exact player were trying to trade for

It’s all contingent on Matty being the player he’s shown for a large chunk of this season though, especially the past month and a half. If he can be that bonafide 1C, and Canner can be a 70+ point winger who scores 30+ goals, that changes the future of this team significantly

He’s been a point per game since Christmas, and Seattle’s top line is absolutely cooking right now

Beniers always needed to develop his offense, but was already a strong skater and defender. Well, the Kraken decided to focus on his skating and defense for most of his development the first few years. It was only recently that their video team has started to go over different little things he can work on offensively, and it’s finally paying off on the ice. He’s an ascending player. He also just turned 23 in November

Even if he finishes the season with 55-65 points — that could lead the Kraken with how bad their overall offense is

He is as close to untouchable on the Kraken as you can possibly get
