Kraken Acquire Mackie Samoskevich in a Trade with the Panthers
- On Sunday, the Florida Panthers traded forward Mackie Samoskevich to the Seattle Kraken for the 25th pick in the 2026 NHL Draft and a conditional 2027 second-rounder.
- Seeking a talent infusion after missing the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the fourth time in five years, the Kraken acquired the 23-year-old forward to bolster their core group.
- The Panthers cleared salary cap space by trading the restricted free agent, aiming to retool following an injury-plagued season after back-to-back Stanley Cup championships in 2024 and 2025.
- Samoskevich, the 24th pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, reunites with former Michigan teammate Matty Beniers in Seattle, where general manager Jason Botterill said he can add a spark.
- The 25th pick originally belonged to Tampa Bay, while the conditional second-rounder will be the higher of Winnipeg's or Columbus' selections, providing Florida significant draft flexibility.
