The Seattle Kraken have been focused on roster management and international competition. The team has been actively pursuing major additions, including a reported failed attempt to sign Dallas Stars winger Jason Robertson with a high-value eight-year contract. General Manager Jason Botterill is reportedly in a “big-game hunting” mode to secure scoring or defensive talent. Simultaneously, the organization is negotiating a contract extension for defenseman Vince Dunn and pursuing restricted free agent Simon Edvinsson.

Following these roster developments, the team traveled to Helsinki, Finland, for the 2026 NHL Global Series. The roster is scheduled to play two games against the Carolina Hurricanes. Players have noted the trip offers a unique opportunity for team bonding through local Finnish cultural experiences.
