The Seattle Kraken acquired 23-year-old forward Mackie Samoskevich from the Florida Panthers in exchange for the No. 25 overall pick in the 2026 draft and a conditional 2027 second-round pick. Samoskevich is a former first-round draft pick and arrives as a young, NHL-ready winger who provides Seattle a cost-controlled option up front. Florida receives immediate draft capital to reshuffle its roster while Seattle parts with first-round draft value, signaling the Kraken expect Samoskevich to contribute now rather than waiting on a draftee.
