Kraken's Vince Dunn: Skating at camp
Dunn (neck) is scheduled to participate in Friday's on-ice session at Kraken camp, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.
Dunn missed 19 of the Kraken's last 21 games in 2023-24 due to a neck issue stemming from a hit he sustained in early March. The 27-year-old defenseman looks to be fine this fall, and he should be expected to fill a top-four role with power-play time in 2024-25. He produced 46 points (16 on the power play), 120 shots on net, 78 PIM and 64 blocked shots over 59 contests last season.

Kraken's Oliver Bjorkstrand: Healthy at training camp
Bjorkstrand (undisclosed) practiced Thursday with the Kraken, Alison Lukan of Root Sports reports.
Bjorkstrand suffered an injury during Denmark's Olympic qualifying game versus Great Britain three weeks ago. Bjorkstrand hit the 20-goal mark for the third straight season in 2023-24, as well as the fifth time in the last six campaigns. Bjorkstrand was stellar on the power play as well last season, picking up 25 of his 59 points with the extra attacker.

Kraken's Adam Larsson: Locked up by Seattle
Larsson signed a four-year, $21 million contract with the Kraken on Tuesday.
Larsson was rewarded with a raise ahead of the 2024-25 season, and the 31-year-old is tied into Seattle for the next five years. The right-shot defenseman has missed just one game over the last three years, an incredible feat of durability and consistency. Larsson will continue to be a stay-at-home defenseman in a top four that features offensive blueliners Brandon Montour and Vince Dunn. Larsson should open the season on the top defensive pairing.

Kraken's Oliver Bjorkstrand: Sustains injury with national team
Bjorkstrand sustained an injury in Denmark's Olympic qualifying game versus Great Britain on Thursday, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.
Bjorkstrand's injury is not considered serious, but it's worth monitoring to see if he'll participate early in training camp with the Kraken. The winger had a career year in 2023-24 with 20 goals, 59 points and 186 shots on goal over 82 appearances. Bjorkstrand is slated to fill a third-line role again in 2024-25, though he should also receive plenty of power-play time after earning 25 of his points with the man advantage last year.

Kraken's Matty Beniers: Secures long-term extension
Beniers agreed to terms on a seven-year, $50 million contract extension with Seattle on Tuesday.
Beniers suffered a sophomore slump last season, posting just 15 goals and 22 helpers in 77 outings -- well behind the 57 points in 80 games he recorded as a rookie the year prior. Still, the 2021 second-overall pick remains the top center option for the club entering the upcoming 2024-25 campaign and figures to offer decent offensive upside. Fantasy managers should be able to count on Beniers getting back over the 50-point threshold.

Kraken's Kim Saarinen: Pens entry-level pact
Saarinen signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Seattle on Sunday.
Saarinen posted a 1-0-1 record with a 2.46 GAA and a .909 save percentage in two regular-season outings with HPK of Finland's Liiga in 2023-24. He spent most of the campaign playing for HPK's junior teams. The Kraken chose the 17-year-old netminder with the No. 88 overall pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. Saarinen is expected to return to Finland for the 2024-25 campaign.

Kraken's Eeli Tolvanen: Signs two-year deal
Tolvanen inked a two-year, $6.95 million contract with the Kraken on Friday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Tolvanen had a career-best 41 points in 81 regular-season appearances with Seattle in 2023-24. The 25-year-old is slated to be a middle-six forward, but he will see plenty of power-play time, including with the first unit, next season.

Kraken's Berkly Catton: Signs entry-level contract
Catton signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Kraken on Friday.
Catton was selected eighth overall in the 2024 Draft. The talented center had a breakout campaign in 2023-24, scoring 54 goals and adding 62 assists in 68 regular-season games with WHL Spokane. The 18-year-old will head to training camp with the Kraken, but it's likely that he will be returned to Spokane for the 2024-25 season.

Kraken's Josh Mahura: Inks one-year deal with Seattle
Mahura signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Kraken on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Mahura filled a depth role with the Panthers last year, but he didn't draw into a playoff game. He made just 30 regular-season appearances, picking up nine assists, 40 hits, 27 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. He'll join fellow former Panther Brandon Montour in Seattle, but Mahura is likely to have to settle for being a seventh or eighth defenseman depending on how Ryker Evans performs in training camp.

Kraken's Mitchell Stephens: Inks two-year deal
Stephens signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Kraken on Monday.
Stephens had two goals and three points in 23 contests with Montreal in 2023-24. He also recorded 13 goals and 35 points in 49 regular-season outings with AHL Laval. The 27-year-old will likely start 2024-25 in the minors.

Kraken's Brandon Biro: Inks two-way deal
Biro signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Kraken on Monday.
Biro pocketed two goals in five games with the Sabres last season. He spent most of the year with AHL Rochester, tallying 47 points in 64 games across the regular season and playoffs. He'll likely spend most of the 2024-25 campaign with AHL Coachella Valley.

Kraken's Nikolas Brouillard: Joining Seattle
Brouillard signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Kraken on Monday.
Brouillard has spent the last four years in the AHL and has yet to make his NHL debut. Last season, he scored 38 points across 80 games between the regular season and playoffs with AHL Hartford. The 29-year-old blueliner will likely spend the 2024-25 campaign with AHL Coachella Valley.

Kraken's Ben Meyers: Inks one-year agreement
Meyers signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Kraken on Monday.
Meyers recorded a goal and three points in 23 regular-season contests between Colorado and Anaheim in 2023-24. He also had 11 goals and 25 points in 32 AHL appearances with the Eagles. Meyers has a significant shot of making Seattle's roster out of training camp since he's on a one-way deal, but he may be a frequent healthy scratch if the team's prospects can stick at the NHL level.

Kraken's Max Lajoie: Lands two-way deal
Lajoie signed a one-year, two-way contract with Seattle on Monday.
Lajoie notched one assist in seven games with the Maple Leafs last year. He also scored 24 points in 51 regular-season games with AHL Toronto. The 26-year-old could split time between Seattle and AHL Coachella Valley during the 2024-25 campaign.

Kraken's Chandler Stephenson: Signs long-term deal
Stephenson secured a seven-year, $43.75 million contract with Seattle on Monday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.
Stephenson is coming off a relatively disappointing year, as he missed out on a third straight 60-point campaign. The 30-year-old center managed to rack up 16 goals and 35 assists, including 13 power-play points, in 75 regular-season contests for the Golden Knights. The Kraken have plenty of center depth in the top six with Matty Beniers and Jared McCann, not to mention youngster Shane Wright, so Stephenson or someone else will have move to the wing. That shouldn't prevent him from pushing for 20 goals and 60 points this season while playing in a top-six role in 2024-25.

Kraken's Brandon Montour: Signing seven-year deal
Montour agreed to terms on a seven-year, $49.98 million contract with Seattle on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Montour was reportedly linked to a move to Utah before the team traded for Mikhail Sergachev on Saturday. Still, the 30-year-old Montour was able to cash in with a long-term deal, one that could be the last of his career. Injuries limited the Ontario native to just 66 regular-season games this past year, in which he generated 33 points, but he was a mainstay in the lineup during the postseason. In the playoffs, Montour averaged 22:39 of ice time, playing in all 24 games while tallying 11 points, including three with the man advantage.

Kraken's Ales Stezka: Inks two-way deal

Stezka made his AHL debut last season after coming over from the Czech league. He posted an impressive 2.48 GAA and .914 save percentage during 27 regular-season appearances. The 27-year-old will likely spend most of the 2024-25 campaign with AHL Coachella Valley.

Kraken's Max McCormick: Signs two-year deal

McCormick racked up 32 goals and 60 points in 68 AHL games last season and made just one appearance at the NHL level. He hs 94 games of experience at the top level but hasn't played more than 10 NHL games in a season since the 2020-21 campaign. He'll continue providing organizational depth in Seattle.
