2025 Fantasy Outlook
It was another bumpy road for Grubauer in 2024-25, as he was waived at the end of January and spent a month with AHL Coachella Valley. It's not all that different from what Tristan Jarry went through in Pittsburgh, though playing for the Kraken, Grubauer's demotion got less attention. The difference in situations is that Grubauer doesn't have a clear path to No. 1 status anymore, as Joey Daccord has taken over that role in Seattle. Grubauer still has two years left at a $5.9 million cap hit, so he'll be tough to move even with the salary cap rising. The German is projected to be a backup to begin 2025-26, and after an 8-17-1 season with a 3.49 GAA and a .875 save percentage, there's no reason to assume he'll improve much even in limited usage.

No buyout on horizon
The Kraken will not buy out Grubauer's contract after a poor statistical season, Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times reported Friday.
ANALYSIS
General manager Jason Botterill confirmed that the team will work with Grubauer and try to improve the team in front of him. The club is confident that Grubauer can bounce back. The 33-year-old netminder went 8-17-1 with a 3.49 GAA and an .875 save percentage across 26 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. These numbers were by far his worst in the NHL. Grubauer will be available late in drafts for 2025-26 and could be an astute stash if he can truly turn things around.

Grubauer is easy to dismiss with a line of 14-16-2, a 2.85 GAA and an .899 save percentage in 2023-24, but there's a silver lining that a few fantasy managers will know. He went 5-9-1 with a 3.25 GAA and .884 save percentage in 17 games while playing through an injury. Grubauer was much better after missing 24 contests with a suspected groin issue, going 9-6-1 with a 2.51 GAA and a .912 save percentage in 19 outings. Best case, Grubauer wrestles the starter's reins away from Joey Daccord, who was outstanding last season, and surprises fantasy managers. More likely, he pushes Daccord, and the two men end up in a platoon. The Kraken have upgraded their forward corps and blue line so that extra support will help whoever occupies the net.
