The Kraken are clearly looking to improve their offensive line on the back end, as Montour is great at carrying the puck at high speeds on the ice.
Brandon Montour, signed 7x$7M by SEA, is an offensive defenceman who loves to carry the puck in transition with speed and create scoring chances for himself. Scores a lot and plays on the powerplay.
While the acquisition of Montour brings excitement, there are concerns regarding the financial aspects of the deal. Critics argue that the $50-million contract might be an overpay for the 30-year-old defenseman as he approaches the later stages of his career. Skeptics question whether Montour's performance can justify the hefty investment over the next seven years.
Brandon Montour will sign with the Seattle Kraken to a seven-year deal with an AAV around of $7.1M. Wow. That's a huge deal for Montour.
Despite the financial concerns, Montour's addition is poised to strengthen the Kraken's defensive lineup, bringing a blend of experience and offensive prowess. The Kraken hope that Montour's skill set will not only enhance their defensive game but also contribute to a more dynamic and versatile team approach as they aim for a successful season ahead.
The Seattle Kraken are betting on Montour to bring the same level of excellence and impact that he demonstrated with the Panthers.
The upcoming season will reveal whether this significant investment in Montour will pay off for the Kraken, as they look to make a mark in the NHL with their strengthened lineup.
