The Kraken might be able to pick the next Erik Karlsson at this year's NHL draft in Vegas.

Defenseman Zayne Parekh who would be a noteworthy and at just 18, Parekh's style of play on the ice is being compared to that of Karlsson.
Benton Mike and Scoot Wheeler discuss Parekh's potential if the Kraken were to decide to select him over Karlsson.
"Parekh looks nothing like the other players and he's a dynamic, exciting, offensive defenseman. Parekh also broke the scoring record for the U17OHL and then broke 30 goals this season which is unherd of for a defenseman. Parekh also almost cracked 100 points this season and he led the Memorial Cup host by scoring 30+ points. We are talking about a legitimate star who may score 70 to 80 points from the back end, so the real question with Parekh is whether or not he will be able to play offensively to match the defensive talent and will he be able to win over the trust of a coach to allow him to play for 20 to 25 minutes in game? " - Scott Wheeler

The Seattle Kraken already have an outstanding set of defensemen who played exceptionally well last season. So, the question remains, who will they choose to experiment with the defensemen alliance they already have? Or will they select another eligible candidate to add to the team's current strengths or weaknesses? We will have to wait and see on June 28.
The Kraken have proven that they are a strong team so far, once they have selected a new coach and a worthy prospect, there is high hopes for what their future could look like.
