EDGE Analysis

McCann helped out on the first of Brandon Tanev's two goals in the contest. Through seven games, McCann has only been held off the scoresheet once, racking up three goals and four helpers. He's added 11 shots on net, a minus-3 rating and six hits, although his role has shrunk with Yanni Gourde settling in as the top-line center.

McCann posted an assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

McCann set up Mark Giordano's third-period tally, but that was it for the Kraken's offense. Through six games, McCann has picked up three goals, three assists, 10 shots on net and a minus-5 rating. He's dropped to a second-line role on the wing alongside Alexander Wennberg since Yanni Gourde made an earlier-than-expected return from offseason shoulder surgery. As long as McCann stays in the top six and on the power play, he should be in line for career-best production.

McCann scored a power-play goal on two shots, added two hits and went minus-3 in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

McCann moved down to the second line with the return of Yanni Goude (shoulder). The 25-year-old McCann has produced three goals, two assists, eight shots on net and a minus-5 rating through five games. A second-line role should suit his skills a bit better -- he was likely overmatched on the top line. What hasn't changed is that the Ontario native will remain a key figure to the Kraken's offense.

McCann posted an assist in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

McCann and Alexander Wennberg switched lines during the contest, but given the result on the scoreboard, it's unclear if head coach Dave Hakstol will continue that experiment. Through four games, McCann already has two goals, two helpers, six shots on net and four hits. With few standout forwards on the Kraken's roster, the 25-year-old will likely stick in a top-six role, be it at center or on the wing.

EDGE Analysis

McCann tied the game at 1-1 with his first-period tally, and he set up Brandon Tanev for the empty-net goal in the third. The 25-year-old McCann has three points, three shots on net and three hits through the first two games of the season. He'll continue to draw some interest as a depth option in fantasy while logging first-line minutes.

McCann scored a goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

McCann cleared COVID-19 protocols just hours before the game, allowing him to play. The 25-year-old centered the Kraken's top line, and he turned a Jordan Eberle pass into a goal in the second period. McCann has recorded no fewer than 32 points in each of the last three seasons -- that's not the mark of a true first-line center, but he's the best option the Kraken have down the middle until Yanni Gourde (shoulder) is ready. On role alone, McCann could have some appeal in deeper fantasy formats.

EDGE Analysis

McCann was poised to start the season as the team's No.1 center but instead will have to watch the Kraken's inaugural game from home. Without the 25-year-old center in the lineup, Alexander Wennberg will move up to the top trio alongside Jaden Schwartz and Jordan Eberle.

EDGE Analysis

McCann's ability to play center and wing likely factored into the Kraken's decision to bring him into the organization, not to mentioned he's posted 14 goals and 30-plus points in back-to-back seasons while playing for the Penguins. Barring several elite forward additions, McCann should be a near-lock for the top six in Seattle.
