We’re a little more than one month away from the Seattle Kraken selecting their first ever NHL roster. Their expansion draft is scheduled for July 21, with each team losing at least one player to the newest team in the league.
However, the while the Kraken have started scouting players to select, potentially trade for and draft, they have not yet named the first head coach in the history of their franchise.
When the Rangers hired Gerard Gallant, that took perhaps the biggest name off the table. Rick Tocchet, who had interviewed with the Rangers a couple times, is still available as well.
