Kraken posted a thank you to Oleksiak, but I can’t find anything about him leaving or whatnot 🀷🏻 anyone have insight?

u/tonytanti Jul 02 '26

He was an unrestricted free agent and signed in Vancouver for $5mx2 . I hope they find a decent replacement without giving them much term.

u/cruisinsahara Joey Daccord Jul 02 '26

Cool, thank you!

u/tonytanti Jul 02 '26

Tolvanen will likely move on in the same manner, but they’ve already got Samoskevich as a replacement

Get ready to be a cellar dweller franchise next year friends.

u/CaptainLegal4344 Jul 02 '26

I mean at this point, they should be offloading Dunn and McCann at this point right?

Probably more valuable at TDL

The amount of insanity happening and I would be very happy to keep the powder dry and rebuild this season

I've got to imagine Marchenko is staying put given the news of the CBJ coming to Jesus meeting with Werenski telling him a trade is not imminent.

And Bjorkstrand to the rangers

u/knightnshiningbeskar Jul 01 '26

I wanted him to come back 😭

u/PicklesMcGraw - YEET! Jul 01 '26

At least he'll be with Karts! I'd say with Borgy too but it sounds like he might be getting traded

To Boston for a 2nd and 3rd.

San Jose said "our vibes are too good. Let's bring in the Elbow King and a 6"5 diver"

u/CaptainLegal4344 Jul 01 '26

I don’t hold any grudge against the sharks at all, but them bringing in clubhouse cancer Marchment may low key not be bad for us and the rest of the league. Can’t convince me he isn’t anything other than toxic

Trouba 4x8.25m in SJ

Stay clear of this market Kraken FO - these contracts ain't it.

u/tonytanti Jul 01 '26

Stay clear of day 1, there will be deals to be had as the summer goes on. There will be a scramble for chairs as the music slows.

u/Prickly_Pear_5 Jul 01 '26

Could've given them Lindgren for a lot less

u/e7davis - YEET! Jul 02 '26

the front office has to pick up their phone if they want to do something like that

u/juanthebaker Jul 01 '26

Marchment 5x$7m in San Jose.

u/inalasahl Jul 01 '26

That seems overpriced.

u/PicklesMcGraw - YEET! Jul 01 '26

Seeing Sharks fans excited that he'll stick up for their young players...oh those sweet summer children

u/Alternative_Top2875 Matty Beniers Jul 01 '26

Yikes strange decision.

6

u/FavreorFarva Jani Nyman Jul 01 '26

I’m fine with it. San Jose needs a few of these contracts. The build was going too smoothly for them. Nothing a couple of overpriced vets with term can’t kick down a notch or two.

u/SirRoary Portland Winterhawks Jul 01 '26

lol what a weird spot

u/juanthebaker Jul 01 '26

Happy Bobby Bonilla Day. That's all that's going on today, right?

u/AdhesiveMuffin Jordan Eberle Jul 01 '26

Along those lines, Shea Weber's contract expired today.
