My point is no one knows what you have till you play. As for last year, they were playing pretty well even before the Eichel trade, before all our goalies got injured. Tuch and Krebs we're upgrades though.
This roster is who Adams and Granato want.
So drafting Leinonen one round early is such a big deal, even though Seattle grabbed a goalie in the same round? Why aren't I hearing wails of "Reach!" with the Kraken?
If anything it shows that Seattle was going to get a goalie so why not get first dibs? Why let the Kraken get the pick of the litter if Leinonen was the best out there?
