The Kraken have posted a remarkable turnaround from Year 1 to Year 2.

In their expansion season, they finished 15th of 16 teams in the Western Conference with a 27-49-6 record.

They are currently at 44-26-8.

Their 17-win improvement is already an NHL record for a team going from Year 1 to Year 2. The previous record was 14 set by the Oakland Seals between 1967-68 and 1968-69.

Fitting Toews scores a PPG in his last game with CHI. One of the best two way forwards in the past couple decades.

Finalist for COY
 

Hakstol oversaw a remarkable turnaround for the Kraken, who improved by 40 points this year after a disappointing inaugural campaign as the NHL's 32nd franchise. Seattle earned its first-ever playoff berth in 2022-23 and shocked the hockey world by eliminating the defending champion Colorado Avalanche in a seven-game thriller in Round 1.

Congratulations, again, to Dave Hakstol, on this historic nomination.

Reviewing the 50 years of Jack Adams Award (aka coach of the year), 

I see 3 past winners with a connection to NCAA hockey:  Red Berenson (Michigan, ew), Dave Tippett (UND, great guy), Rod Brind'Amour (Michigan State).

None of them coached in NCAA first, and then went on to coach in the NHL.   Which would make Hakstol the first to succeed on that path.  Or, if Jim Montgomery wins, he coached NCAA before NHL too.
