Schwartz is listed as a C but even still, I'd take their C group factoring in McCann instead. I probably would go:

1. Kadri
2. Wright
3. Beniers
4. Stephenson
5. Backlund

I don't even love their roster, I suppose it's more of an indictment of where we are/where we're going than it is a compliment of the Kraken.

Maybe the Flames will win since my other team doesn't like winning at all.

Full marks to Huska and the coaching staff. The miles they're getting out of this group is coach of the year stuff.
Really strong depth, but lacking a star. I think they need to clean house of GM/coach in the offseason. That roster should perform better and they have yet to develop a single star in 4 years. Their closest thing to a star was maybe Jared McCann, Jordan Eberle or late 30s Giordano. Not great work.

even McCann is only 2 faceoffs/game, that's Coronato territory

Beniers was supposed to be the star. He's not.

He is 22. But time is running out.

Hopefully Sharangovich sits when Backlund is back.
