1. The Kraken Pod episode 138 focuses on what Seattle can do to save the season, not on a playoff run. 2. Jeff and Joey Cirillo host the episode, and Jeff says the Kraken are not a playoff team while Joey pushes the case for practical roster moves. 3. The episode asks what the Seattle Kraken can do now that would help the future, not just the standings. 4. Jeff and Joey open by reacting to a Kraken game against the Edmonton Oilers in real time. 5. They note that the Kraken were up 2-1 after the first period before Connor McDavid and Corey Perry changed the game. 6. Jeff says the team keeps finding ways to lose, while Joey says the roster is getting outtalented by stronger teams. 7. The conversation turns to Capo Caco, who has 14 points in 17 games with Seattle. 8. Joey says Caco fits with Matty Beniers and Jordan Eberle on the top line. 9. Jeff and Joey connect that fit to a long-term contract and a younger core. 10. They also discuss Will Borgen’s move to the New York Rangers in the trade that brought Caco to Seattle. 11. Joey brings up Borgen’s five-year, $20.5 million deal with the Rangers as a comparison point. 12. The hosts then widen the frame to Ron Francis and management. 13. Jeff says the front office needs to identify the right players and stop relying on veterans who have not changed the team’s direction. 14. Joey says Yanni Gord and Brandon Tanev could be traded before the season ends. 15. He points to their contracts, rental value, and the chance to free up cap space and get draft capital. 16. Both hosts say younger players like Matty Beniers and Shane Wright should keep getting time. 17. The tone is conversational, sarcastic, and shaped by an ongoing live game update. 18. The format mixes Kraken reaction, a historical NHL trivia answer, ad reads, and personal life updates about snow in Louisiana. 19. People who want Seattle Kraken roster talk and NHL draft context will like this episode. 20. People wanting a focused, non-Kraken hockey discussion may skip it.
