Okay, I need someone with experience in hockey fandom tell me that losing Bjorkstrand, Tanev and Gourde is not a terrible move. I’ve read that the draft picks we got in return are worth it. On the other hand, we’ll draft some cool young players who’ll need years in AHL to properly develop. Are the Kraken now destined to lounge around at the bottom of the standings without their core players?
Also… We lost 3 great ones, but kept Burakovsky… A guy who will do anything with a puck (including giving it away) before be shoots it at a goal. How does that make any sense?
Yeah, that makes sense. I was hoping that playoff run 2 years ago was a good sign, but I guess not. Still, I feel like a core was building and Tanev was definitely part of it. Here’s hoping the managers & coaches know what they’re doing.
