Here’s the Full List of Players Selected for Seattle Kraken’s Roster
The Seattle Kraken announced their initial 30-player roster during the 2021 NHL expansion draft Wednesday night.
Seattle had to select at least 14 forwards, 9 defensemen and 3 goalies.
The remaining selections were allowed to come from any position. One pick came from each of the existing NHL franchises aside from the Vegas Golden Knights, who were exempt from the process.
The Kraken also had an exclusive negotiation window with potential free agents. Any contracts signed counted as their pick from the players’ previous teams.
