Kraken Rebuild With Key Additions | Seattle Kraken News

Jul 2, 2026 · 2 min

The Seattle Kraken just pulled off some big moves, locking down speedster Mackie Samoskevich on a three-year, $3.85M deal after trading for his rights from Florida — and they’ve also added physical forward Curtis Douglas on a two-year, $1.25M contract. Samoskevich brings proven scoring (27 goals, 36 assists in 156 games), while Douglas, standing 6’9”, offers a much-needed gritty, hard-hitting presence. Meanwhile, original Kraken stars Jaden Schwartz (to Colorado on a $3.25M deal) and Jamie Oleksiak (to Vancouver on a $5M deal) are departing — signaling a major shakeup as the team reshapes its roster for the future.
