Kraken Trade Draft Pick for Samoskevich

Seattle Kraken shock the hockey world by trading their first-round pick and a conditional second-rounder to Florida for 23-year-old forward Mackie Samoskevich — a gamble on a young player with modest stats but upside, especially after a solid season. Samoskevich, who’s played in the AHL, NCAA, and USHL, brings fresh energy and offensive potential, exactly what GM Jason Botterill hopes to inject into the lineup. Meanwhile, the Kraken solidify their future by locking up Bobby McMann to a six-year deal, positioning him as a cornerstone for the franchise’s long-term success.
