Season 4 in the books and this franchise SUCKS

[DavidGee24]

After the strong second season, the team took a big step back in season three, and then took another step back in season four, where it looks like they'll end up with the fourth-worst record in the league. How the HELL does this happen while Vegas continues to be an elite team with no end in sight?

Philip Grubauer cost the team dearly. It's still just stunning that in one year he went from a Vezina Trophy finalist to one of the worst goalies in the league, and he stunk it up for four years in a Kraken sweater. Thankfully there won't be a fifth as they're sure to buy him out.

It just doesn't look like it's going to happen for Matty Beniers. He looked good as a rookie but has settled into being pretty much a third-line center. Shane Wright might not be much better, but at least he has flashes of greatness and then disappears for a while. There's still hope for him.

Chandler Stephenson is a solid player, but the contract they gave him was just stupid. They should've kept Morgan Geekie who would have been probably at least as good and a lot cheaper.

Players to really like and who should continue to wear a Kraken sweater:
Wright
Vince Dunn
Brandon Mountour
Jared McCann
Eli Tolvannen
Kaapo Kakko
Jaden Schwartz
Adam Larsson
Ryker Evans
Michael Eyssimont
Jani Nyman
Joey Daccord

The franchise is totally loaded with draft picks, some really good prospects in the minors, and apparently will have a lot of spending money this offseason, but one problem: the guy who's been spending it poorly will still be spending it. They really should fire Ron "Lighten Up" Francis.

Oh well, maybe this team will be good again next year. I'm tempering my expectations though.

And Francis is promoted to president?
