Overview

  • The Seattle Kraken announced on Sunday that they signed winger Bobby McMann to a six-year extension worth $34.5 million total with a $5.75 million average annual value.
  • Seattle acquired McMann from the Toronto Maple Leafs at the March trade deadline in exchange for a 2026 fourth-round pick and a conditional 2027 second-round pick.
  • McMann made an immediate impact after a visa-related delay, recording 10 goals and four assists in 18 Kraken games including a two-goal, three-point debut in Vancouver.
  • General manager Jason Botterill said re-signing McMann was a priority and the player cited the club's ownership, young assets, and a chance to mentor as reasons for staying in Seattle.
  • The extension takes McMann off the July 1 free-agent market and, according to public cap trackers, leaves the Kraken with roughly $22.5 million in salary-cap room for further moves.
