Let's get Kraken, Seattle.

The NHL's newest franchise hits the ice for its inaugural season's opener on Tuesday night against the Golden Knights. Tons of questions abound for this club based out of the Pacific Northwest, none bigger than, "How will they do?" Will they be like the expansion teams of old who struggle night in and night out? Or will they take after their first opponent, Vegas, and make a deep Stanley Cup run?

Here's everything you need to know about the Kraken.
