Kraken Choosing to Sit Idle at NHL Trade Deadline Would Be Massive Blunder

The Seattle Kraken are clinging to a playoff spot. At 29-23-9 (67 points), Seattle owns the last Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. The San Jose Sharks sit at 64 points as their closest competitor behind them in the Wild Card.

The Pacific Division is also not a foregone conclusion. Seattle is just one point behind the third place Edmonton Oilers for that final playoff spot among division leaders.

Seattle’s playoff odds currently sit at 62.7%. Needless to say, the Kraken are smack in contention. There is no reason to think this team can compete for a playoff spot down the stretch. They need to make the necessary moves to get it done.
