Seattle Kraken Part Ways with Head Coach Dan Bylsma After One Season
In a significant move, the Seattle Kraken have dismissed head coach Dan Bylsma after just one season at the helm. Bylsma, who previously led the Krakens AHL affiliate, the Coachella Valley Firebirds, was promoted to the NHL team in May 2024 following the departure of Dave Hakstol. Under Bylsmas leadership, the Kraken concluded the 202425 season with a 35416 record, missing the playoffs.

Bylsma is widely recognized for guiding the Pittsburgh Penguins to a Stanley Cup victory in 2009 and has an overall NHL coaching record of 35523161. Despite his past successes, the Krakens management decided to make a change after evaluating the teams performance and future direction. General Manager Ron Francis stated, After a thorough review of the season and our expectations for next year and beyond, weve made the difficult decision to move in a different direction behind the bench.

In tandem with Bylsmas departure, the Kraken announced a restructuring of their front office. Ron Francis will transition from General Manager to President of Hockey Operations, while Assistant GM Jason Botterill will be promoted to Executive Vice President and General Manager. Botterill, who previously served as the Buffalo Sabres GM from 2017 to 2020, has been part of Seattles front office since its inception in 2019.

The organization expressed gratitude to Bylsma for his contributions, particularly highlighting his role in developing young prospects during his tenure with the Firebirds. As the Kraken embark on the search for a new head coach, the team aims to build upon its foundation and strive for improved performance in the upcoming seasons.
