– Tye Kartye appears destined to have a full-time role on next year's team However, Seattle may have to part with most, or all, of their fourth-line grouping of Sprong, Donato and Geekie. Dunn and Borgen definitely seem to be part of the plan moving forward as top four defensemen. "We've got some decisions to make there and we'll work through those in the next few days here and make sure that we're all comfortable in the direction we want to go and address it accordingly," Francis said of the goaltending outlook.įrancis wasn't going to give many indications of what those decisions will be. Goaltenders Martin Jones and Joey Daccord are also set to be unrestricted free agents. Geeks, Sprong and Donato are contracts that we've got to talk about here as we move forward." "It's still early in the process for us and talking un front. But we certainly think we can continue to improve. "But there's always areas that we think we can tweak and get better, whether It's bringing people from the outside in or trying to work from an internal position to make it stronger. "We do have some guys whose contracts are up, we've got to make some decisions there," Francis said. Sprong and Geekie are restricted with Donato, Donskoi, Hayden and Frödén being unrestricted. Meanwhile, Daniel Sprong, Morgan Geekie, Ryan Donato, Joonas Donskoi, John Hayden and Jesper Frödén are also free agents. Seventh defenseman Cale Fleury is also a restricted free agent, but he played in just 12 games throughout the season for the Kraken.įrancis told Ian Furness of FOX 13 and Sports Radio 93.3 KJR that Dunn and Borgen will both be given qualifying offers if they are unable to reach long-term agreements with either player. Soucy was a constant on Seattle's bottom pair. So we'll see if we can strive to get to that point."īorgen was a full-time starter for the first time in his career and played all 82 games. Usually if you get a deal where the team is not happy and the players not happy, that's probably a fair deal. Only the 70-point season of Jared McCann outpaced him for the season.
Dunn is coming off a monster season for Seattle where he finished second on the team in points behind 14 goals and 50 assists.
Dunn and Borgen and restricted free agents with Soucy being an unrestricted free agent. Vince Dunn, Will Borgen and Carson Soucy all are unsigned for next year. However, a trio of defensemen heads Seattle's group of pending free agents this summer. A vast majority of the Kraken's roster is under contract for next season, including each of their top 10 forwards.
