Kraken Eye Mackie Samoskevich in Potential Trade
Seattle is poised to add young forward Mackie Samoskevich from Florida, a move that could signal a new focus on youth after a disappointing season.
The Seattle Kraken are reportedly close to acquiring forward Mackie Samoskevich in a trade that could reshape their roster for the 2024‑25 season. Samoskevich, a former first‑round pick of the Florida Panthers, has shown flashes of skill in both the NHL and AHL. The deal, reported by Pro Hockey Rumors, would give Seattle a promising young forward who could slot into a middle‑six role and provide depth on the right side of the ice.
Seattle’s 2023‑24 campaign ended in disappointment, and the organization has been scrambling to find a way to rebuild. By targeting a high‑upside prospect like Samoskevich, the Kraken signal a pivot toward a youth‑centric strategy. The move would also address the team’s lack of high‑end forward prospects in its pipeline.
