Such a terrible logo and color scheme compared to what could have been makes me hate them already.

No state income tax and expansion draft rules similar to 2017 should grease the gears for an easy way to get talent and immediate contention. I expect them to be a playoff team in year one.

Fo Sho.

As a Sharks fan, I'm pretty salty about the head starts given to the Knights and Kraken!!

Grrrrrrrrr

The traffic jams getting to/from the arena are going to be EPIC.....main reason why I turned down the opportunity to get season tickets.

I'll go to a few weekend games, but that's it....

The Kraken's colors remind me a lot of something you would see a 90's IHL team sporting. And you know what? I don't mind them at all.

While it wasn't even in my top 25 team names I was rooting for, I'm on board and will support them for eternity. Go Kraken!!!

Anyone else get in on the Spend on epacks and gain eligibility to purchase physical 1st printing Upper deck card of the team? Think it was up for like a week or two? Anyhow, grabbed a couple of them, as even though I don't follow hockey, I'm interested in checking them out.
They haven't printed or shipped yet, but may be nice to have.

One of my former boss's and a friend is one of the Kraken's scouts. John was the OHL scoring leader years ago playing for the Sault Ste Marie Greyhounds and is also great friends with Ron Francis.

I noticed some hockey highlights on ESPN the other day, went to check standings and noticed Seattle isn't playing yet. When's the first Kraken activity, season or draft or whatever?

Their AHL team is going to be based in Palms Springs. Will have to go check out some games when they play the Gulls.

You shouldn't believe that.
Congrats on making the playoffs in year 2 and very likely bounced in the first round by Colorado.

If they play more game in their reverse dark jerseys and avoid their Ladies Figure Skating Carnival coloured baby blue ones they might win a game or two.
