    Step 1: Trade for Samoskevich. Step 2: Re-Sign McMann. Step 3: Release The Audit.

    It’s getting wild in the deep, and the off-season hasn’t even officially started yet. On this episode of Kraken After Dark, we break down a massive double-feature Sunday from GM Jason Botterill. First, the Seattle Kraken traded away the 25th overall pick to land 23-year-old Stanley Cup champion Mackie Samoskevich from the Panthers. Does he immediately slot in on a line with his old college teammate Matty Beniers? Next, we react to the sticker shock and long-term security of Bobby McMann’s massive six-year, $34.5 million extension. Did the Kraken overpay for his 29-goal breakout season, or is this the essential scoring identity the top six desperately needed? Plus, the wait is finally over: the internal Sportsology Group audit of hockey operations has been released. We parse through CEO Tod Leiweke’s comments to look at what "trade secrets" are being kept under wraps, and why player development is getting a major financial overhaul. Finally, we look ahead to the absolute chaos of the NHL Draft and Free Agency. Pour a drink and join us in the deep.
