Summary
Seattle Kraken pull off a bold move, acquiring speedy forward Mackie Samoskevich from Florida in a deal that costs them a first-round pick in 2026 and a conditional second-round pick in 2027 — a steep price for a restricted free agent with playoff experience and a college connection to Matty Beniers. Samoskevich, coming off a 32-point season and known for his physical play, brings scoring punch and speed to a team hungry for offense. Meanwhile, the Kraken lock in Bobby McMann with a six-year, $34.5M extension, rewarding his immediate impact after a trade deadline acquisition. GM Jason Botterill is thrilled — this is Seattle’s most aggressive offseason move yet. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
