Drafted 24th overall by the Vancouver Canucks in the 2014 NHL Draft, McCann entered the league with high expectations. However, he struggled to reach his full potential until joining the Kraken. In his debut season with Seattle, McCann shattered his previous career highs of 14 goals, 21 assists, and 35 points, establishing himself as the team's offensive leader. He continued to dominate, leading the Kraken in points for the next two seasons.
Matty Beniers, who had an outstanding rookie year and captured the Calder Trophy, is a strong contender to take over as the Kraken's top center. Despite a less-than-ideal sophomore season, Beniers is poised for a breakout year and could be the biggest threat to McCann's reign. However, he's not the only player in the mix.
Stephenson, while having a slightly lower career high than McCann, has surpassed 60 points twice in his career, even when not being the primary offensive option. With the Kraken, he'll have more opportunities to rack up points.
The most exciting part is the healthy competition within the Kraken's roster, with multiple players vying for the top spot. Fans should be thrilled to see how this race for offensive supremacy plays out.
