Kraken's Max McCormick: Won't play in 2025-26

McCormick will miss the entirety of the 2025-26 campaign after undergoing hip surgery, the team announced Tuesday.

McCormick has played in just one NHL regular-season game over the past three seasons, so his absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players. With his contract with the Kraken expiring July 1, the 33-year-old winger may have to settle for a minor-league-only deal heading into the 2026-27 campaign.
