The 2024–25 Seattle Kraken season is the fourth season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise. They play their home games at Climate Pledge Arena.

This is the first season of Dan Bylsma being the Kraken's head coach, as he replaced Dave Hakstol at the position on May 28, 2024.

Background

Main article: 2023–24 Seattle Kraken season
Dan Bylsma was named the Seattle Kraken's head coach on May 28, 2024.

On April 29, 2024, following the end of the 2023–24 season, Seattle Kraken head coach Dave Hakstol was fired.[1] The previous season, the Kraken were mediocre, scoring only 217 goals, getting eliminated from playoff contention on April 3,[2] and finishing their season with a 34–35–13 record and 81 points.[3] The Kraken organization made the decision to replace him with Coachella Valley Firebirds head coach Dan Bylsma on May 28.[4]

On June 28, the day of the first round of the 2024 NHL entry draft, the Kraken selected Berkly Catton of the Western Hockey League (WHL)'s Spokane Chiefs with their eighth overall pick.[5]

On June 30, the Kraken prepared for the upcoming free agency by re-signing players John Hayden,[6] Luke Henman,[7] Ales Stezka,[8] and Max McCormick.[9]

Off-season

Brandon Montour
Chandler Stephenson
Brandon Montour and Chandler Stephenson were signed to 7-year contracts by the Kraken on July 1.

July 1, the first day of the new season—and free agency—was useful for the Kraken. They made news in the morning when they signed Florida Panthers defenseman Brandon Montour to a 7-year contract, the maximum allowable during free agency. Later, they signed Vegas Golden Knights center Chandler Stephenson to a 7-year contract.[10] In the afternoon, the Kraken signed five other players from various teams.[11] The Kraken also lost six players, who had spent much of their time during the 2023–24 season with the Kraken's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Coachella Valley Firebirds—Devin Shore,[12] Connor Carrick,[13] Kole Lind,[14] Cameron Hughes,[15] Jimmy Schuldt,[16] and Chris Driedger.[17] In the evening, the Kraken released the roster for their annual development camp, scheduled to happen from July 2–5.[18]

The trend of players leaving continued on July 2, when Tomas Tatar[19] and Peetro Seppala[20] left the team. Also on July 2, the Kraken traded defenseman Brian Dumoulin to the Anaheim Ducks for a fourth-round pick in the 2026 NHL entry draft. The previous season, Dumoulin managed 16 points through 80 games, averaging 17:01 of ice time per game.[21]

The Kraken made history on July 3, by hiring Jessica Campbell as an assistant coach, as she became the first woman to be in a coaching position in the NHL. She had spent the previous two seasons with the Firebirds, helping them reach the Calder Cup Finals twice.[22] Bob Woods also joined the Kraken's coaching staff, ultimately teaming him and Campbell with assistant coach Dave Lowry.[23] Also that day, player Andrew Poturalski left the team.[24]

On July 4, the Kraken signed defenseman Josh Mahura to a one-year, $775,000 contract. Kraken general manager Ron Francis himself stated that "Josh is a veteran defenseman who adds depth and experience to our blue line."[25] July 5 saw the Kraken re-sign restricted free agent Eeli Tolvanen to a two-year, $6.95 million contract, as well as their 2024 first-round draft pick Berkly Catton to a three-year, entry-level contract.[26] The Kraken signed their only goaltender selection of the draft, Kim Saarinen, to a three-year, entry-level contract on July 14.[27] On July 16, the Kraken saw the departure of player Mitch Reinke.[28]

Draft picks

See also: List of Seattle Kraken draft picks

The 2024 NHL entry draft was held on June 28 and 29, 2024, at the Sphere in Paradise, Nevada.[41]

The Kraken's first round selection, the eighth overall pick, was center Berkly Catton, selected from the Washington-based Spokane Chiefs of the Western Hockey League (WHL). Catton was placed eighth in the final NHL North American skater rankings for the draft, mainly due to his career-best 54 goals and 62 assists for 116 points in the 2023–24 season.[42][43]

The Kraken spent their second-round 40th overall pick on Julius Miettinen of the WHL's Everett Silvertips. Prior to the draft, Miettinen had a feeling that the Kraken had interest in drafting him. Also in the second round, the Kraken selected Nathan Villeneuve 63rd overall. Villeneuve played with the Ontario Hockey League (OHL)'s Sudbury Wolves, captained by fellow Kraken prospect David Goyette. With their third-round 73rd overall pick, the Kraken selected their first defenseman of the draft Alexis Bernier, of the Baie-Comeau Drakkar of the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). Bernier's father, David, was drafted into the NHL twice, and played as a forward. The Kraken used another third-round selection to select their first goaltender of the draft, Kim Saarinen, 88th overall. Saarinen's 6'4" stature as well as his ability to track the puck are some of the reasons he was selected. The Kraken used their 105th overall fourth-round slection to select Ollie Josephson, who at some point was a member of Team Canada at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup, along with Berkly Catton.

Before the fifth round, the Kraken traded their 169th overall (sixth round) and 201st overall (seventh round) picks to the Florida Panthers, in exchange for their 141st overall fifth-round pick. The Kraken ultimately used this pick to select Clarke Caswell, a childhood friend of Berkly Catton. The Kraken used their last pick, 202nd overall in the seventh round, to select Jakub Fibigr.[44]

  2. ^ The Toronto Maple Leafs' third-round pick went to the Kraken as the result of a trade on March 20, 2022, that sent Mark Giordano and Colin Blackwell to Toronto in exchange for a second-round pick in both 2022 and 2023 and this pick.[46]
  3. ^ The Florida Panthers' fifth-round pick went to the Kraken as the result of a trade that sent the Kraken's sixth round and seventh round picks to Florida in exchange for this pick.[47]
  4. ^ The Calgary Flames' seventh-round pick went to the Kraken as the result of a trade on March 16, 2022, that sent Calle Jarnkrok to Calgary in exchange for Florida's second-round pick in 2022, a third-round pick in 2023 and this pick.[48]
