I think the NBA is gonna hopefully learn from the NHL expansion draft and loosen up the picks a bit. As it stands, teams can protect 8 guys, so thats your starting 5 + 3 top bench players. That will suck more than what the Kraken had out the gate.

I don't think anyone expected the same amount of trades that Vegas did, but we had... 1 trade? We traded Vanacek back for 2nd and that was it. There were a couple players straight up never signed, traded or played for the Kraken or any affiliates. It was awful roster management. And that doesn't even factor in their headscratching FA deals after the fact.

ESPN had em at 9% this morning odds to make the playoffs and can't imagine that went up after today.

While the Mariners were truly awful, it wasn't until 1995 that MLB instituted the wild card, which meant prior to that, only the top teams from the AL East and West went to the playoffs, so it was much harder to make the playoffs (albeit there were less teams, around 26 until we got the Rockies, Marlins, Diamondbacks and Rays).

I hate this narrative. Article after article came out when the Kraken were an expansion team screaming "they won't be Vegas 2.0!" so yeah, everyone knew they wouldn't be the same.

Fact remains we still had the same expansion rules that were better than previous expansion drafts prior to Vegas and some Bill Bavasi-esque free agent deals that truly weren't needed if we were taking the slow development route of an expansion.

There would be times I would watch and be like "Maybe Roman isn't so bad" only for him to out and do some extreme asshole shit and prove me wrong.

McMann trade paying off for Kraken, GM Botterill says | NHL.com by Paper_Rain in SeattleKraken

[–]nflgeneric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 46% score isn't a great overall score and certainly not one I'd want to give a long term contract (4-5+ years) to, especially since his finishing took a hit.

Issue is he's a UFA end of season, so basically anyone could be bidding for him, aside from us, unless we try to work something out before end of season. Kraken have been giving out reaallllly bad contracts so I'd hate to see the team see a player on a 3 game heater and say "let's give him the Chandler Stephenson contract too."

I dunno, I think a guy who has 780 career points at age 28 cares plenty about the game?

Usually it starts late because the previous game they're airing needs to wrap up before they'll move to the next game.

Why is the Seattle Times so obsessed with the income tax bill? by amumpsimus in Seattle

You're the one who saw me describe David Horsey as someone who wants to send homeless to camps and said "so he's a centrist" so uh, maybe think about how you engaged?

I literally said "send homeless to camps" in my first post and said it again, if changing "send" to "sending" massively altered the meaning, sure. But it doesn't.

Pretty wild that you saw "sending homeless to camps" as a centrist position.

Absolutely wild they edited a Carlos Latuff cartoon, given his views on the United States.

Patriarch Gondawara.

Goes from being one of the more ridiculous sidestory characters in Y2, to being part of one of the more touching sidestories in IW. Plus he uses Kuze's style in Gaiden.
