I had my doubts about this statement, but finally went through the process in Capfriendly, and the Kraken should be able to fill a competent team, even without the trades that Vegas landed.
Not sure they will be any good, but definitely room to go young for the most part, sprinkling in some vets for presence and future trades. On this basis, I had Gio going. I can't see Seattle taking Kylington or Phillips based on what other young, but more established players that may be available.
Edit: But yeah, the Flames should be a better team next year, and the stuff about better development system and coaching staff is just dumb. Expansion doesn't give them a better opportunity on those things. They just have a blank slate.
