It happened quickly, but the Kraken now have no more cap flexibility. They might have to trade someone to be cap compliant. Tanev is the obvious odd man out. But who would you choose to trade to help the Kraken clear cap space?

I’m not convinced they need to make a trade right away, lots of teams start the season with a 21 man roster and injuries can happen in training camp that open the space for extra bodies. I do think that both Gourde and Tanev are gone by next season, though. Hopefully they have a good start to the year to provide some trade value by the deadline if not before.
They will be fine but yes moving tanev is the best move. Second best is grubauer but that’s literally impossible. Maybe gourde goes because he will be worth the most of any guy but I want to keep him. He’s got too many pros.
We can book a Schwartz injury at some point
I think moving Tanev to Columbus makes sense for everyone.
Columbus makes the cap floor with no long term.
The fans have an energetic blue collar guy they can cheer for.
Tanev is closer to home.
Kraken have cap space.
He would need to change his number though.
Is it bad that when i read the title i read that the Kraken were facing Captain Crunch? :p
I am new to hockey so I might sound like a dumbass, but what is a Cap?
Is it max players that are active?
