Re Nyman recall: Seattle Kraken certified it does not have 12 forwards healthy enough to play. Emergency recall ends when the team does have 12 such forwards. Since this was designated as an emergency recall it does not count against that limit on standard recalls after the trade deadline.

The Seattle Kraken have signed Gustav Olofsson, 30, to a 1-yr, $775k NHL contract. He had previously been playing on an AHL deal. The Kraken then waived Olofsson. Moves allow the blueliner to play in the NHL, if needed, but waivers were needed to get him back to the AHL now.

The Seattle Kraken have signed Ryden Evers, 20, to an ELC on the “opening day” of amateur free agency. The 6-foot-4 forward has 31 goals and 38 assists in 60 WHL games. (He played with Penticton in the BCHL before this yr.) Uncanny similarity with the name Ryker Evans is confusing me already.

Seattle Kraken prospect Julius Miettinen has scored five goals and added two assists in two WHL games this weekend, including the OT GWG in Kent Saturday. Everett plays the 3rd of a back-to-back-to-back today at Wentachee. Cameron Riggers wrote on Miettinen ⬇️ soundofhockey.com/2026/02/28/c...

New on @soundofhockey.com: "Rangers claim Tye Kartye, Kraken re-sign two forwards" In this week's Seattle Kraken prospects column, we analyze the Kraken's decision to re-sign Meyers and Winterton and waive Kartye. We also look at the team's trade deadline assets. soundofhockey.com/2026/02/27/d...

The #SeaKraken  have placed Tye Kartye on waivers.

Berkly Catton and Ben Meyers have been activated. Jacob Melanson is STILL on the #SeaKraken roster. Tye Kartye is not, so he presumably has been placed on waivers. That gets SEA to the 23-man roster limit.

The Seattle Kraken signed Ben Meyers, 27, to a 2-yr $1 m AAV extension. He was a pending UFA. First non-minimum, standard deal for Meyers. The Kraken also signed Ryan Winterton, 22, to a 2-yr, $1.125 m AAV extension. He was a pending RFA without arb rights; he will be an RFA again after expiry.
