The Kraken rarely overreached or overpaid, sticking to a longterm plan that prevented against future suffering in exchange for short-term gain. FOX13
We’ve got about a week to build up the Kraken’s first playoff appearance in franchise history, and just under two weeks to build up their first playoff game at home – and won’t that be a sight!Not only did the Kraken earn a spot in the postseason in just their second season, but they did so without sacrificing their future at any step of the way.
And the improvement is a direct result of smart moves along the way, which you can attribute to general manager Ron Francis and his entire staff. Apparently analytics work! Eeli Tolvanen scored a career high in goals this season after being added off of waivers. Re-signing Daniel Sprong worked out incredibly, thanks to his 21 goals and 25 assists – both career highs. Justin Schultz now has his second-highest point total in his 12-year career.
By the way, they *still* have a third and fourth round draft pick this year, by virtue of trading away Mason Appleton and Calle Jarnkrok last year!
