The Kraken GM has went out a got a true number 1 goaltender with the aquisition of Alevandar Georgiev from the Blue Jackets. Logan Couture was also aquired from the Nordiques to fill the number one centre roll. These moves led to a climb up the standings after the initial deals but the last couple weeks have seen the club drop to the bottom of the west.
