AP Photo/Ted S. Warren Seattle Kraken general manager Ron Francis developed a reputation for conservatism during a seven-year run as the Hurricanes’ GM. That same tack reflected in Carolina through his cautious approach to offseason signings and trades as well as his preference for a strong defense over a strong offense was evident during the expansion draft Wednesday. The Kraken always were expected to pass on many of the big-name, big-contract players exposed in the draft, but they passed on almost all of them. Carey Price, Vladimir Tarasenko, James van Riemsdyk, Ryan Johansen, Matt Duchene, Adam Henrique, Max Domi and many others remain with their teams.
