André Burakovsky's outta here, shipped off to Chicago. No surprise there - she's been saying for a while not to bank on him. In comes Joe Veleno, bringing some size and grit. Looks like the new boss Jason Botterill's got a plan to beef up the team and crash the net hard. Cale Fleury's sticking around with a two-year deal.

Erica's thinking this might mean a slower rebuild, not rushing to overhaul everything right away. She's digging Botterill's decisive moves so far. Lots to chew on for Kraken fans. What's Botterill's master plan? And what about that first-round pick?

Erica's fired up to see where this is all headed. Sounds like some exciting times ahead for Seattle hockey.
