Everyone knows the Carolina Kraken are in rebuild mode, but don't tell them they can't make big strides this year. They had three picks in the first two rounds, picking up three wingers with varied skillsets, and they look to keep adding in free agency. Scoring is spread throughout all three lines, with support from the defense, aiming to make sure their opponents have to play a full, hard 60 minutes. In the pre-season, the Kraken pushed three games to a SO and lost two others by a single goal, evidence of their never-say-die attitude. Captains Kettu, Yates, and Prpich are also spread up and down the lines, making sure veteran presence is always on hand to support the new boys. If this team gels as the season progresses, look for them to steal games and aim for a big step up the rankings. The future in Carolina is bright, but the growing pains aren't over just yet.
