October 08, 2021 (14:00) [ Indexed from Yahoo! Sports ]
SEATTLE (AP) " For months, Chris Driedger seemed to be a lock to become the first goaltender for the Seattle Kraken. It made far too much sense considering his talent and success, and with no clear path to being a No. 1 goaltender in Florida. Then Philipp Grubauer became available in free agency and he turned into the first big signing by the Kraken, shuffling Driedger to the second spot in Seattle's tandem. Thats OK by Driedger. In the bigger picture of what the expansion franchise is trying t More...
