The Seattle Kraken re-sign Kaapo Kakko

Seattle Kraken: The Kraken re-signed Kaapo Kakko and avoided salary arbitration. Kakko signed a three-year deal with a salary cap hit of $4.525 million.

After coming over from the New York Rangers for defenseman Will Borgen, Kakko put up 10 goals and added 20 assists in 49 games.

“Getting a contract done with Kaapo was a top priority this summer,” Kraken general manager Jason Botterill said. “We knew quickly he’d be a big part of our team moving forward. He’s got size, skill and tremendous playmaking ability, and isn’t afraid of going to the net. He fit in immediately with our group, and we’re thrilled to have him under contract.”
