Kraken's Andre Burakovsky: Listed for first practice
Burakovsky (groin) is listed to practice Thursday as the Kraken open training camp, Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times reports.
Burakovsky suffered a tear in his groin that sidelined him from Feb. 9 onward. Prior to the injury, the 28-year-old winger was one of the Kraken's best forwards with 13 goals and 26 assists in 49 contests, including 14 power-play points to match his career high. He should have a spot in the Kraken's top six to begin this season, so he may have some appeal as a late-round option in fantasy.

Reinke signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Kraken on Friday, CapFriendly reports.
Reinke spent the last two seasons with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, tallying 27 points each year. The 27-year-old blueliner has just one game of NHL experience dating all the way back to the 2017-18 campaign with the Blues. He'll likely spend most of the 2023-24 season at the AHL level once again.

Kraken's Vince Dunn: Avoids arbitration with extension
Dunn and the Kraken agreed to a four-year, $29.4 million extension on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
The two sides will avoid an arbitration hearing with a deal that keeps Dunn in Seattle through the 2026-27 campaign. The 26-year-old blueliner broke out last year with new career highs in goals (14), points (64), average ice time (23:40) and hits (115). He's established himself as a legitimate top-pair defenseman and should be treated as such for fantasy purposes due to his offensive ceiling and power-play role. Dunn was limited to seven points in 14 postseason contests last year but he scored 24 points over the final 24 games during the regular season.

He also posted 31 points in 26 playoff games as the Firebirds made it to the Calder Cup Finals.
