1. Seattle Kraken

Of course, the most exciting thing about this NHL preseason is going to be the introduction to the Seattle Kraken. After a long wait, we’ll finally be able to see the team play together for the first time. It will be a lot of different people coming together to form a team, and some of them will be former rivals, so it will be interesting to see how the dynamic works out. Also, who else can’t wait to see those awesome jerseys in action?

I’m most excited to see Brandon Tanev on the Kraken. He was a huge player on the Penguins, where he scored 16 points in 32 games. I think many Penguins fans were surprised when he wasn’t protected in the expansion draft, but that’s over now, and it’s time to see what he brings to the Kraken. I think he’ll bring his experience to the team as well as his infectious personality! He seems excited to be on the team and that will definitely help him succeed.

I’m also excited to see Jamie Oleksiak on the team. With his experience with nine years in Dallas and two in Pittsburgh, I think he’ll be a presence in the locker room that the team needs. He’ll also bring out a strong defense that will help the team filled with younger defensemen.
