>Rating: 7 out of 10 Analysis: The Seattle Kraken didn’t hit a home run, but it was good work done at the NHL trade deadline. On the outside of the playoff race — but still with a shot down the stretch — the Kraken sold Alex Wennberg to the Rangers, netting some futures in a consistent-with-market-value return. They then used the leverage of the deadline to get a deal done with top-line winger and organizational leader Jordan Eberle on a team-friendly two-year extension. Solid, workmanlike stuff from the Kraken front office that effectively straddled the near- and long-term priorities for the third-year club. — Thomas Drance
