According to MoneyPuck.com, heading into the day, the Seattle Kraken had just a 2.2% chance of making the playoffs – the fourth-worst chance in the entire league.

Four playoff-less years in Carolina and not enough progress in the two seasons following Seattle’s magical playoff run. If this is a results-oriented business, Francis is approaching a decade of personnel decisions that haven’t produced expected results.
