The Seattle Kraken are struggling during their first year of expansion which makes them an intriguing trade partner for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Toronto Maple Leafs almost lost to the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday night, but a heroic performance by Auston Matthews led them to a 6-4 victory. Despite struggling this season, there are a number of players on the Seattle Kraken that would look good in a Leafs uniform this year.
Seattle’s first season is definitely going a little different than the last expansion teams (Vegas Golden Knights) inaugural campaign went.
Vegas made it to the Stanley Cup Finals and have been a legitimate contender ever since entering the league, while Seattle is bound for the NHL Draft Lottery.
