NHL Teams Unveiled: Surprising Grades for the 2024-25 Season's Highs and Lows – The New York Times
Seattle Kraken (35-41-6): C-
Under the surface, the Kraken showed some signs of progress this season. Brandon Montour was nothing short of brilliant in his first season, Shane Wright found his way as an impact center and Kaapo Kakko and Matty Beniers found immediate chemistry after Kakko was acquired from the Rangers. A lot of the reason the Kraken fell short was down to the performance of their backup goaltender. In games that Joey Daccord started, the Kraken had a record you’d expect from a playoff-bound team. That said, this team spent heavily in unrestricted free agency with short-term improvement in mind. Seattle didn’t even come especially close to realizing it. — Thomas Drance
