Dave Hakstol, head coach of the Seattle Kraken, has made it abundantly clear that the main roster will not be decided until the end of preseason, ahead of opening night.
Giving the Kraken brass an opportunity to mix up lines, see how players are developing, and so on.
In tonight's game, Hakstol has done more of the same. Starting some familiar lines that fans got to see glimpses of last season.
Hakstol says that Burakovsky and Wennberg playing together tonight will hopefully build on their chemistry that was present last year. Compliments Wennberg's intelligence as key to reading Burky's creative instincts well.
