- According to TSN’s Pierre LeBrun, the Seattle Kraken have indicated they’re willing to retain 50% of Brandon Tanev’s $3.5MM cap hit. If Tanev’s market wasn’t already robust, the news should open up his market to most, if not all, of the contending teams this season. The 10-year veteran would instantly improve any team’s bottom six and should command a second-round pick in a strong seller’s market.
