I have a former boss and friend, John Goodwin, who is now a scout for the Kraken. Ron Francis and him used to play hockey together in the OHL (Ontario Hockey league) John was drafted by Montreal but he never got played, I believe, due to him not being/speaking French mostly? (The bias/discrimination was unbelievable back then) so other than a few stints here and there, including some coaching jobs, he finally landed a job with the Kraken so I was also rooting for them somewhat as well. I've always liked Jordan Eberle too, and that goes way back to his World Junior days.
