Seattle, WA - The offices of the Kraken have been buzzing. We've heard from a reliable source that there are several scenarios that could play out over the next couple of days, depending on whether teams are comfortable with standing pat, or making some moves. Teams are a little more wary than when the Golden Knights joined the league, but Seattle did make one move on the eve of the deadline with Washington, receiving a 3rd round pick and prospect Red Savage. It is believed that the future considerations involved narrowing the prospect list, but sources close to the team have been tight lipped, so who is or is not on that is not something we've been able to discover.
We do know there has been considerable chatter, but at this point the best we could learn was that "nothing is imminent." It is believed that the Kraken have several rosters drawn up, and feel they will field a fairly competitive team whether moves happen or not. We will provide more information as it comes available.

UPDATE
Seattle, WA - We are told Seattle may have made a deal with a West Coast club. We're hearing it will be a pick heading to Seattle. Not sure what the rest of the deal is at this time. More to come.

UPDATE
Seattle, WA - It sounds like the pick is a second rounder in a future season, and will ensure that the club will draft a forward. Word is the club has locked down about a third of their roster, but are waiting for responses from a few GMs before making additional moves.

 Seattle, WA - Word is that the Dallas Stars and Seattle Kraken have agreed to a deal. It looks like the Kraken will be receiving a second and fourth round pick along with forward Alex Barre-Boulet in return for $1.5 million and future considerations. We believe this deal was to ensure that the Kraken select a specific player. --- Jeff [don't call me Mount] Baker for the Seattle Times |

UPDATE
Seattle, WA - The League has released official details of the trades, however the conditions will be indirectly released when Seattle rolls out their lineup. We can confirm that one deal was with the Vancouver Canucks for a second rounder in 2025. The other deal is with Dallas for Winnipeg's second rounder and Minnesota's fourth rounder in 2022 along with Barre-Boulet in return for $1.5 million. It is believed that both deals included specific players coming to Seattle.

UPDATE
Seattle, WA - Sounds like more picks are headed to Seattle on a deal with an Eastern Conference club. Sounds like it involves picks going both ways, but none of Seattle's own picks in 2022. Once again, this is a future considerations type deal.

UPDATE
Seattle, WA - Sounds like another deal was made yesterday, involving another Eastern Conference Club. The Kraken are receiving a late round pick and a prospect to switch their forward selections.
We are also hearing that there was an attempt at a last minute deal that did not get completed.
Expect the selections to be announced in about an hour and a half.
