Samoskevich Heads to Kraken

Mackie Samoskevich, the 23-year-old forward who helped Florida win the 2025 Stanley Cup, is headed to Seattle in a blockbuster trade. The Panthers, getting future draft picks including a 2026 first-rounder and two 2027 second-rounders, send Samoskevich — who posted career highs with 32 points this season — to bolster the Kraken’s young core. A 2021 24th overall pick, Samoskevich’s 63 career points and playoff experience make this a win for both sides: Seattle gains a rising star, Florida secures assets for the future.
