Kraken 2025 Draft Targets: Porter Martone
Porter Martone / Plenty of signs point towards the Seattle Kraken using the eighth overall selection on a defenseman, but if they are looking to draft the best available, and Porter Martone was there at eight, they could be all over it. Advertisement Listed at 6'3, 207 lbs, Martone is a physically imposing winger with the skill to match. Martone was considered a top-three pick for most of the season, but as the draft inches closer and the teams inside the top 10 are looking to solidify the center ice position, Martone has seen his name occasionally fall, although he's still expected to land inside the top five. Playing in the OHL with the Brampton Steelheads, the 18-year-old scored 37 goals and 98 points in 57 games, forming a formidable duo with Kraken prospect Carson Rehkopf. Martone also played on Canada's World Junior team, scoring one goal in three games and for Canada's World Championship team, failing to record a point in the two games he played. The Peterborough, ON native, is known as a power forward, willing to mix it up physically and be a disruptive forward. With the puck, Martone is a playmaker. "While Martone is known as a power forward, it's more accurate to describe him as a playmaker. The patterns of the game seem imprinted in his mind. Constantly scanning the ice and knowing his teammates' tendencies, system's rotations, and the expected movements of defenders, he stays connected with linemates, avoids coverage, and puts himself in advantageous spots to make the next play. He builds deft passing plays, moves ahead of the opposition, and preys on defenders' and goalies' expectations, manipulating them to open up great scoring possibilities," EliteProspects 2025 NHL Draft Guide. Advertisement Martone has been rumoured to add to the long list of CHL players to make the transition to the NCAA, although no formal agreement has been made. If the Kraken elected to draft Martone, he would be a perfect linemate for any of Shane Wright, Matty Beniers or Berkly Catton. His game should translate to the NHL quite easily and should be very successful in the playoffs. Stay updated with the most interesting Kraken stories, analysis, breaking news and more!

Jets' Playoff Opponent Fires Coach Following Third-Straight Conference Finals Loss
Winnipeg's final opponent of the 2024-25 season has determined it needs to change direction. On Friday morning, the Dallas Stars announced the firing of head coach Peter DeBoer. The move comes after Dallas dropped the Western Conference Final 4-1 to Edmonton, after beating Winnipeg in six games to eliminate the Jets. Photo by Jerome Miron/USA Today 'After careful consideration, we believe that a new voice is needed in our locker room to push us closer to our goal of winning the Stanley Cup,' Stars' GM Jim Nill said in a statement. 'We'd like to thank Pete for everything that he has helped our organization achieve over the past three seasons and wish him nothing but the best moving forward.' Advertisement Joining the Stars for the 2022-23 season, DeBoer got Dallas to the Western Conference Final each of the past three years at the helm, going 149-68-29 in the process. His Stars earned the Central Division banner last year. The other 'Mr. Game Seven' didn't even make it to a sixth game in the Western Conference Final this time around, as DeBoer pulled starter Jake Oettinger after his backstop allowed two goals on the game's opening two shots. He then publicly ostracized Oettinger for his performance not only in the game but lifetime against the Oilers in the playoffs. "I didn't take that lightly and I didn't blame it all on Jake," the veteran coach said. "But the reality is if you go back to last year's playoffs, he's lost six of seven games to Edmonton, and we gave up two shots on two goals in an elimination game. So, it was partly to spark our team and wake them up. And it was partly knowing that the status quo had not been working. That's a pretty big sample size." Advertisement The 26-year-old goaltender went 36-18-4 this season with a respectable 2.59 goals against average and a .909 save percentage. he won four of six games against Winnipeg in the second round. 2024-25 was the first season of his eight-year, $66 million contract extension. For DeBoer, it was the penultimate season of his contract, to which the season ending with a Conference Final loss was no longer deemed good enough. For his career, DeBoer is 662-447-152 with Florida, New Jersey, San Jose, Vegas and Dallas. He lost twice in the Stanley Cup Finals, having not made it to the dance since 2016.

Stars fire Peter DeBoer after season-ending playoff debacle
This time, Peter DeBoer is the one getting the hook. The Dallas Stars fired their coach Friday, a little more than a week after an embarrassing season-sending Game 5 loss to the Oilers in the Western Conference final. 'After careful consideration, we believe that a new voice is needed in our locker room to push us closer to our goal of winning the Stanley Cup,' GM Jim Nill said in a statement. 'We'd like to thank Pete for everything that he has helped our organization achieve over the past three seasons and wish him nothing but the best moving forward.' 3 Stars head coach Pete DeBoer speaks to the media after Game 5 against the Edmonton Oilers in the Western Conference Final. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect In the 6-3 defeat, DeBoer yanked star goalie Jake Oettinger after he gave up two goals on two shots to open the game — just 7:09 in — a move that has since been followed with widespread criticism. 'No one's a bigger fan of Jake Oettinger than me, as a person or a goalie,' DeBoer said in the days following the loss. 'There's one motive, and that's how do we survive this and get it to a Game 6? And I have to live with those consequences. If it works, great, we're in Edmonton tonight and you guys are telling me how awesome a move it was. And when it doesn't, I've got to stand up here and do this, and I understand.' The loss marked the third straight season, all under DeBoer, in which Dallas could not get past the Western Conference final. Oettinger, 26, faced a league-high 503 shots in 18 playoff games after going 36-18-4 in the regular season with a .909 save percentage in backing Dallas to the No. 2 seed in the Central Division. 3 Head coach Pete DeBoer of the Dallas Stars looks on against the Edmonton Oilers during the first period in Game Five. Getty Images 'When you're in that moment, you're making that decision, what's going through my mind is, you know, we need to stop the bleeding here. Our team looked tentative. We're down, 2-0,' DeBoer said. 'In the back of your mind, you know, is he a little bit fatigued, he's been through a lot. He's carried us through two rounds, is he going to be a better goalie in Game 6 and 7 for us fresh.' The star netminder has worn the failure harshly in the days since as reports of discord from the Dallas players — much directed at DeBoer — has mounted. 3 Corey Perry #90 of the Edmonton Oilers scores a goal on Jake Oettinger #29 of the Dallas Stars during the first period in Game Five. Getty Images 'The reality is if I make one or two of those saves, then I'm still playing in the game,' Oettinger said on May 21, his first public comments since the season-ending defeat. 'The way I'm looking at it is, how can I get better from that? How can I make those saves that I made all playoffs?' The Stars are now the latest team to search for a coaching replacement. Already this offseason, the Rangers (Mike Sullivan), Flyers (Rick Tocchet), Kraken (Lane Lambert), Bruins (Marco Sturm), Blackhawks (Jeff Blashill), Penguins (Dan Muse) and Ducks (Joel Quenneville) have found new bench bosses. DeBoer went 149-68-29 over three seasons in Dallas, adding a 29-27 record in the playoffs. Over 17 NHL seasons, he's accumulated a 662-447-152 mark with the Panthers, Devils, Sharks and Golden Knights before taking the Stars' job in 2022-23.
