Seattle Kraken Set Sights on 2024-25 Playoffs

The Seattle Kraken are heading into their fourth NHL season, having made the playoffs once in 2022-23, while the other two seasons fell short of expectations. So, what should they aim for in 2024-25?
Realistic Goals

A realistic goal for the Kraken is to return to the playoffs. For the 2024-25 season to be deemed a success, they need to still be playing after April 15, 2025. With new players on board, it's entirely possible for them to rise in the tough Pacific Division and secure a playoff spot. This division includes strong teams like the Los Angeles Kings, Vegas Golden Knights, Vancouver Canucks, and last season's Stanley Cup runner-up, the Edmonton Oilers. All these teams are playoff contenders, making it a challenging task for the Kraken.
If they do make it back to the playoffs, the next step would be to win at least one playoff series. They proved they could do it in 2022-23, and with a grittier and tougher lineup this year, they could be even better in the postseason.
These are solid expectations for the Kraken, but let's consider something a bit more ambitious.
Dream expectations
The ultimate dream for the Kraken in the 2024-25 season would be to become the best team in the NHL, win the Presidents' Trophy, and then hoist the Stanley Cup next June. While these goals are far-fetched, they aren't entirely out of reach.
For this dream to come true, the entire team would need to perform at an exceptional level. The forwards would have to score consistently, the defense would need to be strong across the entire ice, and the goaltending would have to be nearly unbeatable. It may seem unlikely, but in hockey, anything can happen.
