Despite a recent three-game winning streak, the Kraken have struggled, winning only four of their last 14 games, yet remain close to a playoff spot with a record of 15-14-6. Goaltenders Joey Daccord, Philipp Grubauer, and Matt Murray have kept the team competitive, with Grubauer showing potential for trade despite his problematic contract. The team is considering moving Grubauer to clear cap space as they pivot towards rebuilding. Seattle’s strategy mirrors the Penguins’ recent move with Tristan Jarry, aiming to improve flexibility for future seasons.
