La journée a été chargée pour la ligue, et bien que le Kraken n’ait pas fait sensation, il y a des sujets qui méritent d’être discutés. Vous trouverez ci-dessous des liens vers d’autres fils de discussion sur ce sous-programme pour chaque sujet. Je ferai probablement un autre sujet comme celui-ci demain s’il y a suffisamment d’action, sinon je m’arrêterai là. # Agents libres signés 1. 7/1 [Martin Studenic](https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleKraken/comments/14o2vvc/we_got_our_first_free_agency_signing_marian/) \[DAL\] **(1 an, 775K AAV, bidirectionnel)** 2. 7/1 [Jimmy Schuldt](https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleKraken/comments/14o3o59/kraken_sign_jimmy_schuldt_oneyear_twoway_contract/) \[CV\] **(1 an, 775K AAV, bidirectionnel)** 3. 7/1 [Brian Dumoulin](https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleKraken/comments/14o5anl/chris_johnston_brian_dumoulin_is_joining/) \[PIT\] **(2 YR, 3,15 M AAV, aller simple)** # agents libres de Kraken * **FA du groupe 2 :** Will Borgen ([Given QO](https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleKraken/comments/14ncjdu/seattle_kraken_pr_the_seakraken_have_extended/)), Vince Dunn ([Given QO](https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleKraken/comments/14ncjdu/seattle_kraken_pr_the_seakraken_have_extended/)), Cale Fleury ([Given QO](https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleKraken/comments/14ncjdu/seattle_kraken_pr_the_seakraken_have_extended/)), Kole Lind ([Given QO](https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleKraken/comments/14ncjdu/seattle_kraken_pr_the_seakraken_have_extended/)). * **UFA du groupe 3 :** ~~Ryan Donato~~ ([signed: CHI](https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleKraken/comments/14o2vu3/frank_seravalli_hearing_ryan_donato_is_going_to/)), Joonas Donskoi, Jesper Froden, Christopher Gibson, John Hayden, Martin Jones, Austin Poganski, ~~Brogan Rafferty~~ ([signed: DET](https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleKraken/comments/14obvpt/nhlcom_red_wings_sign_defenseman_brogan_rafferty/)), ~~Carson Soucy~~ ([signed: VAN](https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleKraken/comments/14nys1y/emerald_city_hockey_looks_like_carson_soucy_to/)). * **UFA du groupe 6 :** ~~Alexander True~~ ([signed: FLA](https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleKraken/comments/14o7mmp/the_florida_panthers_have_signed_alex_true_to_a_1/)), Carsen Twarynski. * **UFA (offres non soumissionnées) :** ~~Morgan Geekie~~ ([signed: BOS](https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleKraken/comments/14nzv2j/chris_johnston_morgan_geekie_is_joining_the/)), ~~Daniel Sprong~~ ([signed: DET](https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleKraken/comments/14o21r6/elliotte_friedman_sprong_to_detroit_1_year_2mil/)). # Autres coups 1. 7/1 [John Hayden Signs New Deal](https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleKraken/comments/14o3pqo/kraken_sign_john_hayden_to_a_oneyear_twoway/) **(1 an, 775K AAV, bidirectionnel)** 2. 6/30 [Joey Daccord Signs Extension](https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleKraken/comments/14nfe43/seattle_kraken_big_dac_energy_weve_signed/) **(2 ans, 1,2 million de dollars AAV, aller simple)** 3. 6/27 [Gustav Olofsson Signs New Deal](https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleKraken/comments/14ks0f3/kraken_goose_is_back_weve_resigned_defenseman/) **(2 YR, 775K AAV, bidirectionnel)** # Rumeurs et Discussions 1.

[Donskoi likely done in Seattle](https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleKraken/comments/14japwb/not_unexpected_but_it_looks_like_the_donskois_are/) (non confirmé par la ligue) Impressions : Jusqu’à présent, j’aime ce que nous faisons. Beaucoup d’entre nous veulent voir une combinaison de Kartye, Evans, Lind, Wright et d’autres avoir la chance de jouer avec le grand club. Étant donné que beaucoup de 4e lignes d’équipes sont composées d’anciens gars de la LAH qui peuvent parfois rebondir, je pense que cela nous place dans une position normalisée. Notre 4e ligne a joué aussi bien que certaines équipes de 3e lignes ou même de 2e lignes à certains moments. Ils allaient être payés. Nous n’allions jamais faire sensation aujourd’hui. La plupart des gens savent que GMRF aime construire à travers le brouillon, et il semble que nous allons le voir plus tôt que tard. Je pense que Dumoulin ressemble à une belle mise à niveau pour la place de Soucy, cependant. Et en tant que quelqu’un qui voulait voir une mise à niveau sur la ligne bleue, j’aime la signature. La plupart des autres mouvements ont été dirigés vers Coachella Valley. Bien qu’il soit à noter que la prolongation du contrat de Daccord serait à sens unique. En regardant la liste des agents libres restants de notre équipe, je m’attendrais à ce qu’aucun d’entre eux ne démissionne avec Seattle. Froden et Donskoi ne sont pas confirmés pour leur départ, mais les deux ne seraient pas surprenants et sont probablement vrais.

Thank you for this…
So contract question: I understand the difference in the two types, why would the one-way be significant? Is that implying only playing NHL or AHL and not moving?
Good stuff.
I agree I don’t think we will sign anyone else from our remaining UFAs, Poganski and Twarinski were both 4th line guys in Coachella and are also going to demand veteran spots(only 6 veterans can dress on game day) to play there again, those 4th line spots should go to youngsters coming up.
Jones and Gibson are already replaced with Daccord and Stezka though I can see us maybe signing one more goalie if Driedger is on the block.
Would love to see us sign another bottom 6 center that is decent at faceoffs type player for depth after we lost Donato, Geekie and True. Maybe Petman will fill that role?
Could also use one more RD in Coachella, preferably one that can play the PP. Our only depth RDs are Fleury and Otavainen
Our lineup as of now would be something like the following
LW | C | RW
—|—|—-
McCann | Beniers | Eberle
Schwartz | Wennberg | Burakovsky
Tolvanen | Gourde | Bjorkstrand
Kartye | Wright | Tanev
– | Hayden | Lind (RFA)
LD | RD | Goal
—|—|—-
Dunn (RFA) | Larson | Grubauer
Oleksiak | Borgen (RFA) | Daccord
Dumoulin | Schultz | Driedger (AHL)
Megna | – | Stezka (AHL)
IMO the Kraken likely need to add 1 more NHL player either via trade or free agency if Wright is able to go to the AHL with an exception. If Wright is going to stay in Seattle, they are pretty much set. Lind IMO showed enough with CV to earn a shot at making the team and I assume Hayden can be one of the 2 spare forwards based on his callup last season.
[After playing around in CapFriendly for a few minutes](https://www.capfriendly.com/browse/free-agents/2024/points/all/forwards?signing-status=ufa&stats-season=2023&display=skater-on-ice-advanced-stats&hide=clauses,handed,expiry-status,goalie-stats), here’s some guys who might fit in that final spot based on good xGF%s
Position | Name | Age | g+a=p | Last AAV | expected goals for %
—|—|—-|—-|—-|—-
C/LW | [Paul Stastny](https://cdn.theathletic.com/app/uploads/2023/01/03122302/Screenshot-2023-04-03-at-11.17.12-AM.png) | 37 | 9+13=22 | $1.5M | 66.8%
C/LW | Derick Brassard | 35 | 13+13=26 | $0.75M | 57.5%
RW | [Alex Chiasson](https://cdn.theathletic.com/app/uploads/2023/01/03121420/Screenshot-2023-04-03-at-10.42.14-AM.png) | 32 | 6+3=9 (20 GP) | $0.75M | 69%
LW/RW | [Danton Heinen](https://cdn.theathletic.com/app/uploads/2023/01/03122442/Screenshot-2023-04-03-at-11.45.48-AM.png) | 27 | 8+14=22 | $1M | 55.7%
Chiasson and Heinen jump out at me in particular here since they are younger. Chiasson only played 20 games after signing with Detroit in March after going without a contract to start the season but he produced nearly a half point per game in that small sample size.
>I think Dumoulin looks like a nice upgrade for Soucy’s spot, though. And as somebody that wanted to see an upgrade on the blue line, I like the signing.
After reading some [Pens fans’ comments](https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/14o5w74/seattle_kraken_sign_brian_dumoulin_on_a_twoyear/) in /r/hockey, they think he’s fallen off recently due to injury. Maybe a change of scenery helps but I would not immediately assume he’s an upgrade vs Soucy. There’s a reason he signed for $100k cheaper and 2 years vs Soucy’s 3 + full NMC with Vancouver.
If he’s a lateral move I’ll be content. Francis said during a press conference that he wanted the shorter term to give Ryker Evans a path to the NHL. https://youtu.be/wNdk_l3BZh0?t=160
