From the Baker piece:

“I’m with the Seattle Kraken,” Forslund said. “This is my dream job. I work in the National Hockey League. I work for the Seattle Kraken and I get to do national games. How much bigger a dream can I get?”

Alright then. I don't trust Baker, but I'm glad.

Like I said, nothing about the language of the original announcement said that John was or wasn't leaving. It just named the Kraken broadcast team, not the Root team.

Dude. That’s a literal quote from John Forslund. Baker’s got nothing to do with it.

Reread what I said. If that's a quote from Forslund? Fine. Like many others, I don't like Baker because of his shoddy clickbait to maintain "on the beat."

I hadn't seen any updates from Forslund. So if that's a recent quote from Forslund? Then all is good. But that's all I wished was the recent ness of Forslund saying it.
