Seattle Kraken vs. Vegas Golden Knights: What's to come

Seattle Kraken v Vegas Golden Knights

Every team wants to select their playoff opponents. Both teams have qualified for the playoffs. Will Seattle tank and get the Knights again, or will they win and get Edmonton? Connor McDavid is in some form, and Seattle might still have a better chance with other teams.

These will be the questions that will be answered in this match. Is tanking necessary to win the greater war, or will they lose by doing this?
