The Seattle Kraken, under CEO Tod Leiweke, are initiating an internal audit to assess and improve the franchise's performance after failing to qualify for the playoffs for the third consecutive year. General manager Jason Botterill, who has taken over following Ron Francis's resignation as president of hockey operations, is fully supportive of this initiative. The audit will analyze the team's five-year history and provide recommendations for improvement. One major area identified for enhancement is the offense, which ranked fifth-lowest in the league, with captain Jordan Eberle leading the team with just 26 goals. Botterill emphasized the need for a sharper offensive strategy and better performance on the power play, where the Kraken were tied for 19th in conversion rates. Despite these challenges, the organization remains optimistic about its future, particularly with over $29 million in salary cap space and four first-round picks in upcoming drafts, which could provide opportunities for reinforcements.
