The Seattle Kraken are expected to name Dan Bylsma as their new coach, replacing Dave Hakstol. Bylsma, a Stanley Cup winner, has previous experience coaching in the NHL with Pittsburgh and Buffalo. He has spent the past two seasons with the Coachella Valley Firebirds in the AHL, where he has seen success in scoring goals.

Bylsma will be tasked with improving Seattle's offensive performance, as the team struggled in that area last season. He has worked extensively with Seattle's top prospects and is familiar with the organization, making him a logical choice for the coaching position.
