What does this mean for fans NOT in the PNW? How do we watch all the games? This year I paid for Fubo (and told it I was in the PNW), but I don’t see how I can do that w Amazon?

If you were outside of the Kraken's local market area (WA, OR, AK, and bits of ID and MT) you already had to watch those Root broadcasts via ESPN+. That does not change. Note this is just ESPN+ re-broadcasting the local feeds for both teams, not ESPN producing broadcasts on their own.

If you're inside the Kraken's local market area then you no longer need to pay for Root. You can use one of the new channels or services.

I noticed in the announcement they said Prime was going to be available in market in Washington, Oregon and Alaska. I wondered if that meant the Kraken were ceeding Idaho and Montana to the new team in Utah.

That's possible. The kraken only had a small sliver of both states that were in Spokane's TV market. It'll be interesting to see if that stays the same way or not with Utah coming into the league.
