3 Seattle Kraken Not Expected Back Next Season

The Seattle Kraken have once again failed to reach expectations.

The Kraken have been eliminated from Stanley Cup Playoff contention, and while there's already been major changes in the front office, expect to see some significant roster changes heading into next season. The Kraken haven't been able to put it together like the Vegas Golden Knights have since their expansion draft, and the Kraken desperately need a reset.

Here's three Kraken who aren't expected back next season:

Bobby McMann

While McMann's enjoyed himself and performed well since joining the Kraken after being dealt by the Toronto Maple Leafs, there's little chance he's going to re-sign in Seattle on a long-term contract. McMann's making under $2 million this season and has been just under a point a game with the Kraken, including nine goals in 15 games. McMann's going to be looking to cash in for the first time on the free-agent market, expect him to hit the jackpot with another organization.

Jaden Schwartz

The 33-year-old veteran winger has had a tough times dealing with injuries since joining the Kraken and with his contract coming to an end in July, expect to see Schwartz move on from Seattle. Look for Schwartz to land a three-year contract once he hits the free-agent market, and the Colorado Avalanche have already been linked as a potential destination. Schwartz has appeared in 49 games this season, chipping in with 25 points. With his ties to the organization moved on to other teams, Schwartz won't be coming back.

Jared McCann

While Phillip Grubauer could be getting bought out, McCann is a prime trade candidate. Like Schwartz, McCann hasn't been able to push the Kraken over the hump and into making some noise in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The versatile McCann has scored 20 goals and 20 assists in 52 games this season and with his ability to either play down the middle or the wing, there's going to be a long list of contenders looking to add McCann on the trade market this summer. McCann's owed $5 million AAV next season, and holds a 10-team no-trade list.
