5. Jordan Eberle
Jordan Eberle has slowly declined over the past few seasons. I am sure if you asked him about his performance in recent years, he would say that he is capable of doing more. We have all witnessed what Eberle is capable of and his 33 points in 55 games last year is not him at his best. However, that is nothing to be ashamed of for the 31 year old winger.
There is no doubt that Jordan Eberle will be on the Seattle Kraken’s first line. Given the opportunity to be on a first line might just give him that boost to rejuvenate his career and potentially break the 20+ goal mark for the first time since the 2017-2018 NHL season.
Regardless of whether or not he gets back into form from a handful of years ago, Eberle will be one of the Seattle Kraken’s most dangerous scorers. He should have no problems helping the Kraken get a jump start to their birth in the NHL over the course of the next few seasons. That being said, there is no doubt in my mind that Jordan Eberle will be a top five rated overall player for the Seattle Kraken in NHL 22.

Summary
Obviously, with the 2021 NHL Expansion Draft just freshly being over, it is easy to predict how things may go down. In reality, there is so much time that is from now until the start of the 2021-2022 NHL season that anything is still possible.
I don’t expect that the Seattle Kraken are done with preparing for the start of the 2021 season. If you plan on playing as the Seattle Kraken in NHL 22, don’t expect them to have highly rated players or have a highly rated team overall. The one thing you can expect to see from them in the game is these five players at the top of their team overall list.
