The Seattle Kraken chose right‑winger Casey Mutryn with the 38th overall selection in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft. Mutryn, a 6‑foot‑3 right‑shot winger from the U.S. National Team Development Program, posted 18 goals and 28 assists (46 points) in 62 games for the U‑18 team and served as captain of the United States squad at the U‑18 World Championships.

He was ranked No. 32 on the Sound of Hockey Big Board, 24th among North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting, and projected by analysts to be a solid third‑ or fourth‑liner with strong physical play and work ethic. Mutryn has committed to play collegiate hockey at Boston College starting in the 2027‑28 season.
