The Seattle Kraken failed to make the Stanley Cup playoffs for the second straight season and the third season in their four-year existence. Tonight they made a trade that will hopefully change their misfortune as they acquired forward Mason Marchment from the Dallas Stars. The Kraken are sending a 2025 fourth-round draft pick and a 2026 third-round draft pick for Marchment. The trade comes after the Stars locked up forward Matt Duchene to a contract extension today. Dallas is not retaining any money from the Marchment contract so that will free up some cap space for the Stars.
Marchment played in 62 games this season, recording 47 points on 22 goals and 25 assists. He was a +15 and had ten power-play points.

Marchment will be on his fourth team in seven seasons, having played with the Maple Leafs, Panthers, Stars, and Kraken. In 302 games, he has 189 points on 76 goals and 133 assists. He is a career +64 with 28 power-play points. He finished 18th in Selke Trophy voting in 2021-22 when with the Panthers. His best season came in 2023-24 when with the Stars which he recorded 53 points on 22 goals and 31 assists. That was career highs in points and assists that season. He was a +22 and had 11 power-play points. Also career highs. The Kraken get a nice piece to their offense for the 2025-26 season.
