Matty Beniers projection, Calder trophy odds
The Kraken won the Draft Lottery to draft Matty Beniers in 2021 and Shane Wright in 2022. Both were amazing moments in the young franchise's history. Maty B will have a significant role in determining whether the Kraken can turn into a contender.
Matty Beniers impressed during his time with the Kraken. He managed nine points in ten games. His most recent season with University of Michigan was disappointing. However, he should improve his performance with Seattle this season. He should benefit from the addition of players like Oliver Bjorkstrand. The team finished third last in the league last season, but should be better this year. They should have more players who can score goals. Benier's ceiling is 74 points. It would put him among the top thirty rookie scorers of all time. For the season 2022-23, his goals/assists split would be 20 goals, 33 assists.
