"On defense, they got a defensive defenseman who can play a nasty game in Ryan Lindgren. he was signed to a four-year deal and has played with the New York Rangers and Colorado Avalanche. His career numbers are 405 games, including 14 goals and 88 assists for 102 points, a +99 rating, 259 penalty minutes, 594 hits, and 593 blocks."
"Goaltender Matt Murray joins Seattle on a one-year deal. Although he has fought injuries and has struggled, the Kraken believehe still has some in the tank. Training camp will be huge for Murray as he tries to regain his form. The former Toronto Maple Leafs, Ottawa Senators, and Pittsburgh Penguins netminder went 1-1 last season with a .879 save percentage and a 3.54 goals agaisnt average."
"Gaudreau is a solid bottom six guy who is also excellent on the penalty kill. He comes via trade with the Minnesota Wild and recorded 18 goals and 19 assists for 37 points last season. Marchment will make his Seattle debut after coming over from the Dallas Stars in exchange for two draft picks. His presence will immediately be felt as he is a pure point producer and can get under the oppositions skin."
The Seattle Kraken finished seventh in the Pacific Division and pursued roster upgrades in free agency. Management prioritized defense by signing Ryan Lindgren to a four-year deal; Lindgren brings physicality and strong career defensive metrics. The team also added goaltender Matt Murray on a one-year contract to compete for starts while he regains form. Two forwards, Frederick Gaudreau and Mason Marchment, were acquired to bolster depth, penalty killing, and top-six scoring. The combined additions aim to produce more offense and a sound defensive game, with training camp and chemistry determining how much the moves translate to improved standings.
