The Western Conference Finals was tantalizingly close for the Kraken, however, they failed to secure a spot.
Known for possessing an enviable depth of talent, the Kraken have been forced to make a tough decision regarding forward Jesper Froden, who seems to have become the unexpected victim of the team's rich forward line-up.
Jesper Froden, a 28-year-old forward hailing from Sweden, had the chance to play in only one playoff game for the Kraken this season. Nonetheless, he exhibited an outstanding performance as a true superstar for the Coachella Valley Firebirds in the AHL.
