The trade deadline passed by Friday afternoon and with it, the anxiety for players wondering what could be happening next.
Seattle Kraken defenseman Vince Dunn celebrates with teammates on the bench after scoring a goal against the Boston Bruins during the third period of an NHL hockey game, Monday, Feb. 26, 2024, in Seattle. The Kraken won 4-3 in a shootout.
That background noise no question plays a factor, even if the stars of the Kraken and NHL are professionals and can sort of put it out of sight. Still, before, he was held out of the lineup for a couple of games to preserve his health with a trade looming.
Was the time now to sell high for the Kraken in what could be a much brighter season in 2025? Or was now the time to go all in for the home stretch?For starters, the Kraken is always "all-in," there's no other way on a team run by Francis. Second, the signing of Eberle was also a product of the thinking that a trade would be imminent if an extension wasn't met so as to not potentially lose Jordan for nothing down the road in free agency.For a team that showed fight, winning seven out of ten before Friday night, this was a statement that this team would fight until the final whistle. A final whistle that we hope won't arrive until well after the regular season finale on April 18th.
So the background noise is gone. The roster is here to stay for what promises to be a highly exciting and perhaps nerve-wracking six weeks ahead.Now? It's about seeing if they can chase down Las Vegas for that final playoff spot.
