The Seattle Kraken traded for center Frederick Gaudreau from the Minnesota Wild on Thursday, in exchange for a fourth-round selection in this summer’s 2025 NHL Entry Draft, opening Friday in Los Angeles. The addition of Gaudreau is another turn of the off-season crank by Kraken general manager Jason Botterill, who pledged an aggressive approach with roster management at the end of last season which wrapped up with the firing of head coach Dan Bylsma and a shuffle in the front office structure.

Lambert was named new head coach of the Kraken on Thursday, officially succeeding Dan Bylsma, fired after one season and a 35-41-6 record. The Kraken missed the playoffs for the third time in four seasons.

It’s no surprise that many NHL coaching searches keep matters extremely locked shut, key eaten, and message self-destructing in the less amount of time it takes to warm up leftovers in the microwave. As vacancies become spoken for, and the Stanley Cup Playoffs continue, we’re however at the point where a move could be made very soon in Seattle.
