The Seattle Kraken are set to name Dan Bylsma as their new head coach, a 2009 Stanley Cup winner returning to the NHL after several years. Bylsma replaces Dave Hakstol, aiming to boost Seattle's offensive performance after struggling last season.
Bylsma has had coaching stints with Pittsburgh and Buffalo before leading Coachella Valley to success in the AHL. Seattle fans hope Bylsma can help develop top prospects and improve the team's scoring capabilities.
