Kraken Extends Hakstol

Dave Hakstol, who's been with the Kraken since they came into the NHL, has inked a three-year extension with Seattle.

Here's what Ron Francis, Kraken's GM, said about Hakstol:

"We believe we are heading in the right direction with Dave as our head coach and it was important to show that confidence with this contract extension.

Dave and his staff have done a great job of creating a close-knit, team-first mindset in our locker room and their work ethic helps set the tone for our team.

Dave helped guide this team to a 40-point improvement and was a Jack Adams finalist for coach of the year. That recognition is well deserved."

The Kraken will definitely a team to follow next season.
