Sergei Bobrovsky’s struggles continue after poor showing in Seattle

|Comments (0)

from Daily Faceoff, by Tyler Kuehl,

The Maple Leafs came away with a disappointing 5-4 loss to the struggling Seattle Kraken on Wednesday night. What’s even more disappointing was how bad goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky was. The Vezina Trophy winner faced just 17 shots in the game, with the final two goals he allowed being questionable, at best. For a guy brought in to bring some stability in net, Bobrovsky has been underwhelming, going 3-5-2 in 10 games, with a 3.29 goals-against average and an .885 save percentage.

from NHL.com,

But living with teammates Mackie Samoskevich and Berkly Catton has Beniers in a better state of mind this season.

“The best part of it is having guys back home that you can hang out with, it kind of just takes you away from hockey, even if it’s for a little bit,” Beniers told NHL.com. “Even if you’re talking about the game, at least you’re doing it with somebody else on the team that’s going through what you’re going through.

Try Hockey For Free Continues to have Success in Seattle as the Sport Becomes More Popular In The City

|Comments (0)

via USA Hockey, by Steve Dumwright,

During Try Hockey For Free events, the Seattle Kraken would prefer to provide as much of the equipment as possible.

The reason? The Kraken don’t want the kids to look like Randy from “A Christmas Story” when his mom bundles him up to send into the elements and his arms, extended like a scarecrow, can’t move.

Sources: Jason Robertson turns down contract offer from Kraken

|Comments (0)

from Sportsnet,

According to multiple sources, the Seattle Kraken were given permission by Dallas to talk to Jason Robertson , and offered him approximately $15 million per year on a eight-year deal — but the offer was declined.

Neither the Stars nor the Kraken agreed to comment, nor did Robertson’s representative, Andy Scott.

It’s believed the two teams had worked out some kind of trade before the permission was granted, apparently including Seattle’s first-round pick — seventh overall in Friday’s draft.

It’s hard to say what’s next for the Stars and their 40-goal winger, who are believed to be at least $2 million apart per season. Their top contract is Mikko Rantanen at $12 million per year, and the hope was Robertson would come somewhere around that number.
