The Kraken May Save This Players Career

The Seattle Kraken are shaking things up as they prepare for the upcoming NHL season, and one of the most intriguing developments is the emergence of a new fourth line featuring Kartye, Wright, and Yamamoto. For Yamamoto, this could be a career-saving opportunity if he can secure a spot on the roster.

During the offseason, Yamamoto inked a $1,500,000 deal with the Kraken, signaling a fresh start for the talented forward. However, head coach Dave Hakstol has made it clear that no one is guaranteed a spot, emphasizing that everyone still in camp has a chance to make the lineup.

In a recent practice, Yamamoto found himself on a lower line, indicating the competitive nature of the Kraken's training camp. This shift serves as a testament to the depth and talent within the team, with players vying for their place on the ice.

The newly formed fourth line of Kartye, Wright, and Yamamoto is an intriguing combination. If Yamamoto can impress the coaching staff and make the cut, it could provide a significant boost to his career. As the Kraken continue their preparations, the competition for roster spots remains fierce, making every practice and opportunity crucial for players like Yamamoto.


Here's a glimpse of the group 1 lines from a recent Kraken practice:

McCann-Beniers-Eberle
Schwartz-Wennberg-Burakovsky
Tolvanen-Gourde-Bjorkstrand
Kartye-Wright-Yamamoto

The Kraken's lineup is taking shape, and as the season approaches, the competition within the team promises to keep fans and players alike on the edge of their seats.
