Sure there are some very solid names on that list but I think you would be hard pressed to argue that it contains a great deal of star power when compared to some of the players that were snubbed by the Seattle Kraken for lack of a better word. The Kraken had the opportunity to go with at least a few star caliber players.

Just take a look:

Forwards:

Josh Bailey - Max Domi - Vladimir Tarasenko

Evgeni Dadonov - Alex Kerfoot - Jakub Voracek

Frank Vatrano - Cody Eakin - J.T. Compher

Nick Cousins - Derek Grant - Nic Dowd

Defensemen:

Marcus Pettersson - Dylan DeMelo

Nikita Zadorov - Troy Stecher

Jake Bean - Cal Foote

Kale Clague - Oliver Kylington

Radek Simek - Connor Clifton

Goaltenders:

Ben Bishop

Do you like the Kraken's approach or would you have tried to make a bigger splash right out of the gate?
