Il est temps d’adopter une nouvelle approche


La philosophie patchwork du Seattle Kraken, dépendant des vétérans, n’a pas produit de résultats. Il est temps d’adopter une nouvelle philosophie. https://pacificnorthhockey.com/seattle/2026/04/08/kraken-long-game/

    What’s the new approach? The article indicates to be a perennial contender but doesn’t say how we get there (but mentions the reporters prior statements).

    So essentially…

    Stop bringing in 30+ year old re-treads. Which … shouldn’t be a second thought for anyone who realizes that you _eventually_ have to develop the young players you draft. OGs are great when they’re cheap and supplemental. They shouldn’t be the core of your team.

    This moronic series of events is compounded by both Wright and Nyman being on the outs with Lambert. That stressed relationship points to a more likely than not chance that both are getting pushed out. It’s hard to imagine that Lambert is going to catch the axe. Especially when the first 2/3rds of the season was decent/good.

    I really hope that Botterill gets churned too. He’s the literal and spiritual successor to RF and honestly I’m just at the point that I want that entire fucking hire tree ripped the fuck out.

    « What Seattle Kraken fans want isn’t a get-in-by-their-fingernails playoff berth followed by an inevitable quick exit. They want hope in a future, in a communicated vision, they can trust. »

    I think it’s interesting to listen to how Botterill talked about the playoff race at the trade deadline. [Trade Deadline Sound | Jason Botterill – March 6, 2026 – YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBWW541o8y0&t=694s): It was an opportunity to give our young players a chance to experience meaningful, high stakes hockey at the highest level. So tbh, yeah, I’d have been here for getting in by our fingernails and probably losing to Colorado. If that helps our guys understand the kind of intensity, focus and preparation required to compete, I’m in. Sounds pretty exciting.

    Days after seeing the team step into 3rd place in the division with a hell of a performance against Carolina, maybe Rig’s best game ever as a Kraken, with playoff odds around 70% it’s not a stretch to believe we had something to build on there, and not unreasonable to try and invest in the growth of our players and our culture instead of selling for draft picks. Of course it sucks that the bet didn’t pay off, that the team fell so flat. But I don’t know that it’s fair to accuse hockey operations of being motivated by filling empty seats.
