The Seattle Kraken announced on June 21 that forward Bobby McMann agreed to a six-year contract. The 30-year-old left wing from Wainwright, Alberta, recorded 29 goals and 46 points in the 2025-26 season after being traded from the Toronto Maple Leafs near the deadline.
McMann averaged 17:57 of ice time per game with the Kraken and played on the top line with center Matty Beniers and right wing Jordan Eberle under coach Lane Lambert.
He finished with 14 points in 18 games for Seattle. His previous contract with Toronto was a two-year deal with a $1.35 million salary cap hit. McMann has 105 career NHL points, including eight power-play goals, and enters his fifth NHL season.
He was undrafted and split the 2025-26 campaign between Toronto and Seattle. Earlier on June 21, the Kraken acquired forward Mackie Samoskevich from the Florida Panthers for the No. 25 pick in the 2026 NHL draft and a second-round selection in 2027.
Samoskevich, 23, is a restricted free agent who has recorded 64 points in 160 NHL regular-season and playoff games. He was the No. 24 pick in the 2021 NHL draft and stands 5 feet 11 inches tall.
