After firing head coach Dan Bylsma, the Seattle Kraken have promoted longtime general manager Ron Francis to president of hockey operations, with assistant Jason Botterill taking over day-to-day responsibilities.

Dan Bylsma was fired as coach of the Seattle Kraken on Monday. No replacement was named.

Bylsma and Campbell coached the Kraken’s American Hockey League affiliate, the Coachella Valley Firebirds, to back-to-back Calder Cup finals appearances before the coaches were promoted. Bylsma replaced Dave Hakstol, a coach of the year finalist in Seattle in 2023.
