The Seattle Kraken fired head coach Dave Hakstol on Monday after three seasons on the bench following a disappointing campaign for a team that reached the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs a season ago.General manager Ron Francis said last week that Hakstol's performance was under evaluation after the team regressed heavily offensively from their playoff campaign of 2022-23.
""You play this game with passion, you play it with heart, you play it for the guy next to you and we're not doing that right now and that's more than disappointing."Seattle managed to go just 6-12-2 over their final 20 games of the season to finish with 81 points in the standings. They were also shutout seven times this year. Another area when Seattle struggled this season was in overtime.
