Seattle Kraken GM Ron Francis leaves open possibility of changes after team misses playoffs
SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Kraken general manager Ron Francis said Monday evaluations are still ongoing about whether there will be changes with head coach Dave Hakstol or any of the coaching staff after the third-year franchise missed the playoffs.
Francis said the team is still in the middle of examining what happened this season, and he would not confirm whether Hakstol would return for a fourth year.
“There’s a lot of things we have to look at and factor in, and we’ll continue to do that in the next few weeks,” Francis said.
Asked specifically about Hakstol’s status, Francis said, “Well, you’re going to read into that one way or the other, but this is the process we do every year and that’s what we’re in right now.”
Hakstol was a Jack Adams Award finalist for coach of the year after last season and received a two-year contract extension following the first playoff appearance for the Kraken that included a first-round upset of the then-defending champion Colorado Avalanche.
