It's not hard to see why the Carolina Kraken are already a force to be reckoned with this season. Looking at their preseason record, they boasted an impressive 6-1-0 with 38 goals scored and 21 against. That's more than five. goals per game on average while allowing their opponents to score only three per game on average. A big reason for the team's success going into season 76 can be placed on the shoulders of Rodrigo Banes.

Banes is a 4th year forward, drafted previously by Montreal Patriots in Season 74, has been stellar in his preseason showing, tallying three goals and ten assists, which was second in the league for assists and third for points. He carries the team's second line and proves he can make things happen.

Next up is rookie Swedish Chef, who was tied for second in goals in the league with seven, and he also racked up an additional three assists. He plays alongside Banes on the second line and you could say that they have meshed well early and hope to continue that success going into the regular season.

Finally is rookie sensation LiMu Emu. As a defenseman, he scored two goals and added four assists. More importantly however, LiMu was able to customize and save for many of his fellow teammates, allowing them to stretch their time on ice further! What a guy!
