Who will be the first player signed by the Kraken?

[Carltons Cup]

Henman is now the best player in Kraken history.

An unmodded zone!?

An unprecedented loophole in the HF hivemind. Next thing you know, you'll have guys in sunglasses dodging slow-mo bullets.

Dude, I must advise you to rock your mullet and glasses or you'll be shown the door....

BTW: Welcome Luke.
May he reign and lead the Kraken to a championship.

 

[ultradan]

feels that much more real now that we have a player signed - here's hoping we can develop him to his potential and he sees some ice time this year!

WE HAVE A PLAYER!

Seems like he has all the right skills, just not enough muscle mass. Anyone know how fast he is? With the way the game is trending, I’m okay with having some prospects who sacrifice some size for speed. Seems like the best case scenario for Henman might be the Danny Briere type, if we’re swinging for the upper deck here.

He needs about 30 pounds to bulk up. I mean even if he does not pan out not a big deal.

May the Kraken be with you, Luke.

Alright. Now that's out of the way.

Great to have the first Kraken. Interesting sounding player and a surprise.

Things are going forward which is very nice. Exciting to see how the roster forms up over the next few months.

Even Rome started small. Welcome aboard, Luke.

So is he basically an AHL signing?

Henman got the GWG tonight for Armada to push the series to a game five and possible upset over Victoriaville.

Most overage CHL and NCAA free agents end up as just an AHL signings, but occasionally you get lucky with a Mark Giordano or Tyler Bozak or Garnet Hathaway

So far trivia answer, Reid Duke hasn't played for Vegas. I wonder what Luke Henman's chances are.

Realistically he's likely just a AHL body, any NHL games are just gravy, basically like a late round draft pick

Please take Graves from the Avalanche. Please. Even if you select someone else, just take Graves too. Tell Sakic I said it was okay.

Well, there's always a chance if you give us something nice on top off it...

What is the consensus on the Avs protection list right now? 8 skaters or 7F and 3D? I am also guessing that Landeskog will have a verbal agreement but not sign till after the expansion draft.

You won't sniff a high end player from us but you will get a decent piece. We (the fan base) are hoping to buy out EJ and sign Landeskog after the expansion draft leaving you to pick between Jost (who may end up protected after this season), Compher, Donskoi, Graves (my f***ing choice) or other less than desirable piece. I don't wish Graves on you out of spite, he just isn't a piece you win a cup with or can stand watching for long. He thinks he is Al MacInnis and actually "attempts" more shots than anyone else on the team. About 1/5 hit the net. He also pinches in WAY too often and doesn't realize he is a dogshit player/AHLer.

We are definitely goin 7F 3D protection. The question for you guys is if you can take a Val/Jost type and have them work outside of our system. If you guys end up with Val you got a hell of a player with a motor that was built to last. So underrated by most fans of other teams.

This is totally fair. I'd toss in a 4th to get his contract off this team right this instant. He is about our 7th/8th best D.

Luke Henman interview about the process of becoming the first player ever to sign with the Seattle Kraken.

 

[Andy Lehoux]

 

[The Marquis]

I saw that today. Quite impressed to be honest. Kid has some talent.

 

[crobro]

Seattle should invite Borna Rendulic to camp has absolutely dominated Germany and Sweden last couple of years
