The Seattle Kraken have made a significant move by firing their inaugural head coach, Dave Hakstol, after three seasons. With a record of 34-35-0 and no playoff appearances, the decision didn't come as a shock to many.
Seattle Kraken GM Ron Francis hasn't announced Hakstol's replacement yet, but rumors suggest he's eyeing Rod Brind'Amour, the current head coach of the Carolina Hurricanes. Brind'Amour, known as "Rod The Bod," has a strong connection with Francis, having worked together at Carolina before.
Former NHL player Jordan Schmaltz, known as "The People's Insider," hinted that Francis might make a hefty offer to lure Brind'Amour to Seattle, especially considering Brind'Amour's contract situation with the Hurricanes. However, it's worth noting that attempting to outbid Carolina's owner, Thomas Dundon, hasn't worked well in the past, as seen with the failed offer sheet on Sebastian Aho.
