NHL Rumors: 3 Seattle Kraken Offseason Trade Candidates

The Seattle Kraken have been trending in the wrong direction as of late. After losing seven out of their last 10 games, the Kraken are now three points behind the Los Angeles Kings for the final wild card spot in the Western Conference. They are also behind the San Jose Sharks, Nashville Predators, and Winnipeg Jets.

If the Kraken end up missing the playoffs again, they very well could end up making some changes to their roster this offseason. Because of this, let's look at three Kraken offseason trade candidates.

Shane Wright

Wright is undoubtedly a trade candidate to keep an eye on from the Kraken. The young center was the subject of trade rumors leading up to the deadline and has simply not been a fit in Seattle. The 2022 fourth-overall pick could be a very good trade chip for the Kraken to dangle to improve their roster elsewhere.

Jared McCann

McCann will be another player to watch from the Kraken. The star forward has come up in the rumor mill as a trade candidate in the past, and he will be entering the final season of his contract in 2026-27. With McCann being a proven top-six forward, the Kraken could get a serious return for him if they deal him.

Vince Dunn

Dunn will also be entering the final year of his contract in 2026-27 and coudl be a player to keep an eye on during the summer because of it. The 29-year-old blueliner would be too valuable of a player who the Kraken to lose for nothing through free agency in 2027. Thus, if he is not open to extension talks during the summer, perhaps he could be a dark-horse trade candidate for Seattle.
