After the performance of the Seattle Kraken in the 2024-25 season, they want to improve in 2025-26. De Kraken ended the season with a record of 35-41-6 and were the second worst team in the Pacific Division, which was just above the San Jose Sharks.
The NHL design of 2025 has elapsed, and that also applies to the majority of the Free Office Chaos. De Kraken have already undergone many changes in both the team and the staff. With their new head coach in Lane Lambert, Jason Botterill is promoted to general manager and Ron Francis is promoted to President of Hockey OperationsThe Front Office has had its shakups. The Kraken team also made some changes between transactions and signing sessions.
Usage Puckpedia As a guide, these are what some lines could look like.
Cracking is ahead
Jaden Schwartz – Matty Beniers – Kaapo Kakko
Jared McCann – Chandler Stephenson – Jordan Eberle
Mason Marchment – Shane Wright – Eeli Tolvanen
Tye Kartye – Frederick Gaudreau – Jani Nyman
Since the first schedule projection, there have been a few changes in the forward lines and all previous questions have been entered. Signed with Kaapo Kakko now for an extension of three years, the top line is set. The second rule was also set up before, such as Jared McCann, Chandler Stephenson and the contracts of Jordan Eberle were valid during the 2025-26 season.
Mason Marchment is an interesting addition to the Line -Up. Cracking signed him On 19 May in exchange for two treks. He was very successful this last season with the Dallas stars and recorded 47 points in 62 games. Although I have currently projected him on the third rule with Shane Wright and Eeli Tolvanen, depending on his performance at Seattle, there is a chance that Marchment can go to the top six, and Jaden Schwartz or McCann can go to the bottom six.
In the previous schedule projection, the entire fourth rule was a couple of question marks; Now we have answers. De Kraken drew Tye Kartye with one Two years of extensionAnd he will continue to play left wing on the fourth rule. Another player who acquired De Kraken before the market for free agencies was opened was Frederick Gaudreau and exchanged a pick of the fourth round for him. He previously played wild for the Minnesota and concentrated the fourth rule there, so he will throw well in this place.
Regarding the right wing on the fourth rule, it can be a throwing; Jani Nyman, however, would fit the best. He received a taste of the NHL, played 12 games in the 2024-25 season and recorded 12 points via six goals and six assists. Between his NHL experience and his game game with the Seattle’s American Hockey League (AHL) team, the Coachella Valley Firebirds, Nyman shows a lot of promise. He deserves this place on the fourth rule and plays next to a veteran in Gaudreau, he will certainly increase his playing style.
There is the potential for Berkly Catton to make the line -up, but because he played with the Spokane Chiefs in the Western Hockey League (WHL). Because Catton is 19, he is unable to play With the Firebirds until he turns 20. The cracking can bypass this by having him play in Seattle; However, it feels more likely that Catton will receive the Wright treatment, so that he plays a few seasons at a lower level and then officially called to the NHL if they feel he is ready. Catton is also a center that has treated the cracks. As a result, Nyman will probably play the right side on the fourth rule.
Kraken’s Defense
Vince Dunn – Adam Larsson
Jamie Oleksak – Brandon Montour
Ryan Lindgren – Josh Mahura
The only defensive couples that will see a change in the 2025-26 season is the third combination. The Kraken signed Ryan Lindgren during the free desk. He signed a four -year contract with Seattle, which previously played for the New York Rangers and the Colorado Avalanche. The defense partner of Josh Mahura during the 2024-25 season was Ryker Evans, who is still a limited free agent (RFA). Although there is a chance that De Kraken can still sign Evans, his best chance to play hockey with the Firebirds this season will be after signing Lindgren.
Kraken’s goal congregation
Joey Daccord – Philipp Grubers
As mentioned in the first schedule projection, Joey Daccord will probably again be the starting goalkeeper for the Kraken, in which Philipp Grubauer acts as his back -up goalkeeper. Last season, Grubauer spent a stint with the FireBirds after he had a less-dan-stellar performance with the Kraken.
In the event that Grubauer has to go back to Coachella Valley, De Kraken no longer gets the chance to call on Ales Stezka because he has signed in the Czech Republic abroad. However, the Kraken have Nikke Kokko and Matt Murray also signed during the low season. Murray has a wide range of AHL and NHL experience, and the squatters will be able to lean on him in the chance of another rough goal performance or, forbid God.
Kraken scored great young talent in the design of 2025
The NHL design of 2025 came and gone and Seattle generally had six choices. In the first round they set up Jake O’Brien, a strong center with a bright future. He has spent the last two seasons in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) with the Brantford Bulldogs, and will probably continue for the 2025-26 season. Again, he will receive the Wright treatment, purchase his skills in other competitions before he finally comes to De Kraken. If O’Brien receives this treatment, the rest of the 2025 design class is too.

Between the second and seventh rounds, the Kraken selected four defenders in Blake Fiddler, Reynolds, Maxim Agafonov and Karl Annborn, and another attacker, this time a right wing, in Loke Krantz. They have acquired a lot of young talent, but with a completely schedule they will not play on NHL ICE this season. However, they did participate in that of Seattle development camp Last month, what is a good sign, these prospects will see time in the Kraken -Franchise, either with the Kraken at some point in their future, but more than likely with the Firebirds or their ECHL team, the Kansas City Mavericks, soon.
Kraken has a quiet out of season
In general, the Kraken made safe movements during this season. They landed extra Bottom-Six depth in March and Gaudreau, as well as blue line depth in Lindgren. Murray could possibly see NHL playing time, but will more than probably spend most of the season in the AHL. At least the cracks have not signed long contracts as they did out of season. Will these movements be favorable for Seattle? Only time will learn when the season starts in two months.
