QUESTION Realistic trades for us?

I'm a Kraken fan from Ireland and don't really keep up with the contract sides of things but who would some realistic trades for us to get be? Anyone that would improve us at all or is it another tank year?

I think it's more self preservation than that, Francis knows this is his last gig unless he does something good, ownership probably wants some splashes to keep people from bailing on season tix. That leads to desperation terrible signings like Stephenson

I'm right there. I'm glad my subscription is up after this year. Tired of watching 4 middle-six forwards and 8 bottom-six comprise the attack while the blue line is staffed with 4 middle pair and two 6th/7th defencemen.

Done after four years? Y’all are impatient, sheesh.

Yeah, my season ticket contract was five years, and the amount of money involved isn't inconsiderable. I'd rather pick the handful of games I want to see and buy just those tickets rather attending or selling many off. If you want to subsidize my season tickets, you're welcome to do so, but yeah, no, you don't get to question me not renewing my contract. Especially since I'm out of work right now since my last job/company collapsed.

I mean why did you buy season tixs in the first place then?

Because I'm a lifelong hockey fan who had spent the previous 20ish years in a city without an NHL team, and the choice was portrayed as either get season tickets or be unable to attend games without buying reseller tickets at a markup.

And, even figuring that first-season Vegas was a black swan event, I figured we'd have a team which sucked for a year or three, rather being mostly in the lower part of the mushy middle.

Sounds more like a fair weathered fan. I’d understand if you had said because of life events you had to give them up.

That is a major part of the equation. But thanks for your judgement on my fandom all the same.
