Seattle Kraken announce roster moves and contract signings
The Seattle Kraken have made several roster moves ahead of the 2026–27 season. The team re-signed restricted free agent forward Jacob Melanson to a three-year contract with an annual salary cap hit of $1.45 million.
Other key additions include Mackie Samoskevich, acquired from Florida, and Bobby McMann, who signed a six-year, $34.5 million deal. Curtis Douglas also joined the team on a two-year contract.
Notable departures include Jaden Schwartz, who signed with Colorado, and Jamie Oleksiak, who moved to Vancouver.
