西雅圖海妖在季後賽失利後評估教練組

Seattle, Washington - In the wake of the Seattle Kraken's disappointing third season, which saw them miss the playoffs, general manager Ron Francis announced that the team is engaged in a comprehensive evaluation of the coaching staff, including head coach Dave Hakstol.

華盛頓州西雅圖- 西雅圖克拉肯隊第三個賽季表現令人失望，無緣季後賽，總經理羅恩·弗朗西斯宣布球隊正在對包括主教練戴夫·哈克斯托爾在內的教練組進行全面評估。

Francis emphasized that the process is ongoing and declined to confirm whether Hakstol would remain in his position for a fourth year. "There are numerous factors to consider, and we will continue our deliberations in the coming weeks," Francis stated.

方濟各強調這一過程正在進行中，並拒絕證實哈克斯托爾是否會第四年留任。方濟各表示：“有很多因素需要考慮，我們將在未來幾週內繼續審議。”

Hakstol, who was a finalist for the Jack Adams Award as coach of the year last season, led the Kraken to their first playoff appearance in franchise history in 2022-23, upsetting the defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche in the first round. However, Seattle's performance declined significantly in their third season, finishing with a record of 34-35-13 and 81 points, well short of a playoff berth.

哈克斯托爾上賽季入圍傑克亞當斯獎年度最佳教練獎，他帶領海妖隊在 2022-23 賽季首次進入季後賽，並在第一輪擊敗了衛冕史丹利杯冠軍科羅拉多雪崩隊。然而，西雅圖隊在第三個賽季的表現明顯下滑，最終戰績為34勝35負13負，得到81分，距離季後賽席位還差得很遠。

Francis acknowledged that injuries to key players played a role in the team's struggles, but he also expressed concern that the message of the importance of sustained effort was not fully absorbed by the team.

法蘭西斯承認關鍵球員的傷病是球隊陷入困境的一個原因，但他也對球隊沒有完全吸收持續努力重要性的訊息表示擔憂。

"We communicated that maintaining the success of last season would be challenging. While I believe they understood this message, I am not convinced they truly grasped its implications," Francis said.

「我們表示，保持上賽季的成功將是一項挑戰。雖然我相信他們理解了這一訊息，但我不相信他們真正理解了其含義，」弗朗西斯說。

Despite ranking among the top 10 teams in several defensive metrics, the Kraken's offense faltered this season, ranking 29th in goals scored and 29th in shooting percentage. Francis emphasized that addressing this issue would be a primary focus during the offseason.

儘管在多個防守指標上排名前十，但海妖隊本賽季的進攻卻步履蹣跚，進球數排名第 29，投籃命中率排名第 29。法蘭西斯強調，解決這個問題將是休賽期的主要焦點。

With significant salary cap space and a wealth of draft picks, the Kraken have ample opportunities to bolster their scoring. "We will explore all available options to improve our team and return to a winning trajectory," Francis affirmed.

憑藉巨大的工資帽空間和豐富的選秀權，海妖隊有充足的機會來提高他們的得分。 「我們將探索所有可用的選擇來改善我們的團隊並重返勝利軌道，」弗朗西斯肯定道。

Francis also provided updates on the health of several injured players. Defenseman Vince Dunn missed the final 20 games of the season due to a neck injury, while forward Andre Burakovsky missed six weeks early on with a broken collarbone.

弗朗西斯還提供了幾名受傷球員的最新健康狀況。後衛文斯鄧恩因頸部受傷缺席了本賽季最後 20 場比賽，而前鋒安德烈布拉科夫斯基則因鎖骨骨折提前缺席了六週。

The Kraken began the season with an underwhelming 8-14-7 record, including an eight-game losing streak. A strong surge in late December and January briefly reignited playoff hopes, but a loss to San Jose before the All-Star break seemed to extinguish those aspirations. The Kraken finished with a dismal 13-16-3 record after the All-Star break, with a particularly disheartening overtime loss to Vegas on March 12 effectively ending their playoff hopes.

海妖隊以 8 勝 14 負 7 負的戰績開始了賽季，其中包括八連敗。 12月下旬和1月的強勁飆升短暫地重新點燃了季後賽的希望，但在全明星賽前輸給聖荷西似乎澆熄了這些願望。全明星賽結束後，海妖隊的戰績為 13 勝 16 平 3 負，尤其令人沮喪的是 3 月 12 日加時賽輸給維加斯，徹底終結了他們季後賽的希望。

The Kraken's failure to make the playoffs this season has prompted a thorough evaluation of the coaching staff. Francis emphasized that the process is ongoing and that a decision regarding Hakstol's future with the team will be made in the coming weeks.

海妖本賽季未能進入季後賽，引發了對教練團的徹底評估。法蘭西斯強調，這個過程正在進行中，關於哈克斯托爾在球隊的未來的決定將在未來幾週內做出。
