I'm 100% fine with the Offensive minded draft picks. They need that in the pool. Dunn , Borgen, Evans all three are young their NHL Future is clear. There's veterans in the AHL to help the draft picks get better. This team needs Centers that can win in the Draws. That's the biggest problem they have. They lost more than they won in the Offensive zone. That killed the Power Play and any offensive play they came up with. They need more wins in the faceoffs.
Yeah I really like Catton, think he could def be a first-liner on the wing, though I'm still surprised they didn't go defensemen with either second rounders. I wonder if the prospect imbalance is going to hurt us to down the line, or they focus shoring up the blue line with FAs and Trades. Either way still excited for this class

Appreciate your breakdown of the Kraken’s draft picks. I can’t wait for your FA and trade season recaps.
So far I am very whelmed with the two FA signings. Has not been too much to get excited about.

Here is a text I sent my buddy the morning of the draft – "I want Berkly Catton but Kraken are gonna go dman".
Needless to say i am HYPED. I see a future with Wright centering Catton and Firkus. Nhl on notice 😮😮
Did you see Tom Grossi is a kraken fan?
So now we have the Big Cat and Lil Cat 🥹
