Overview
- The Seattle Kraken announced on Monday that forwards Jon-Randall Avon and Lleyton Roed signed one-year, two-way extensions that carry a reported NHL salary of $850,000 and an AHL salary of $100,000.
- Both players have spent their pro careers in the AHL and have yet to make NHL debuts, so the deals keep them in Coachella Valley as organizational depth for 2026-27.
- Avon was traded to the Kraken system from Philadelphia last September and posted a career year with Coachella Valley, scoring 10 goals and adding seven playoff goals that raised his value to the club.
- Roed followed an undrafted college path from Bemidji State to the Firebirds and has developed into a 38-point, two-way winger who routinely helps on the penalty kill.
- Under the one-year terms both players will be eligible for restricted free agency with arbitration rights after the upcoming season, a status that preserves team control while giving the players a path to higher pay if performance warrants it.
