Kraken add Curtis Douglas in FA on 2-year, 1.25m AAV contract
Cue up Manny Fresh, because the Kraken like their forwards Real Big this free agency. The Kraken announced the signing of Forward Curtis Douglas to a 2 year deal worth $1.25 million. WELCOME ABOARD! 🦑The #SeaKraken have agreed to terms with forward Curtis Douglas on a 2-year deal.— Seattle Kraken (Bot) (@notseattlekraken.bsky.social) 2026-07-01T22:06:49.208Z Anything I could tell you about this player is automatically dwarfed by his sheer dimensions; standing at a preposterous 6’9, and weighing in at 243 pounds. He is most notable for being an absolute ass-kicker for both the Canucks and the Bolts, and making quite the name for himself in said ass-kickings, primarily in matching up with other heavyweights. So I bet you’re figuring that he’s probably just the big menacing fella what scares the other team and isn’t much for the hockey portion of hockey, right? Actually? He’s okay? Like, he’s still very much a 4th liner, he’s definitely not a goalscoring phenom, but he’s not a liability. He can hold his own and even if he isn’t shooting much, he’s making sure the other team isn’t either. He’s the platonic ideal of a 4th liner. I like him. He can change the smoke alarm batteries when they get low and then mash a dude. Let’s all welcome Curtis to The Deep!

DJLR Free Agency Frenzy LIVETHREAD
Welcome to free agent frenzy, friends. The NHL has already begun making goofy trades all over the place after the Kraken made a perfectly reasonable call for Mackie Samoskevich, so let’s enjoy the magic as it unfolds! What do the Kraken Need? The Smart-ass answer is “everything”, but I think we can be a little more specific than that. Dire Needs: Younger, more mobile defenseman The Kraken’s biggest achilles heel on D is that they’re old, slow, and struggle with adjusting in net-front work. Adding Brandon Montour last season helped, Chase Reid will absolutely help in that regard, but work still needs to be done in order for this team to compete with the Pacific, which has doubled down on offensive skillset across the board. High-End Goalscoring Forward It’s a constant struggle and it’s always a real pain to keep bringing it up, but yes; the Kraken need somebody who’s willing to go to the net and shoot there. Re-signing Bobby McMann definitely improves the going to the net part, but the Kraken desperately need at least one higher skill forward that can allow them the ability to take over a shift or two and quarterback a power play. Would be nice to have: Left Wing Depth According to EliteProspects.com, the Kraken only have four natural LW players in the entire system; including the NHL team. Obviously it’s fine if you plan on converting a couple of your undersized Centers to wing full-time, but it absolutely can’t hurt to have at least one more! An Upgrade at Center (strictly NHL) I’m not looking at a specific player at the moment! Certainly not! I’m just saying that if the Kraken mean to improve for next year, then they should think carefully about the contract terms of their Center depth, and then make some decisions on possibly upgrading them. Maybe not a wild change, but definitely one that could improve by subtraction or by creating opportunity for other players. Clearer Answer for Goaltending depth in Coachella The goaltending situation for the Kraken seems to be okay at the moment? Definitely not perfect, but they were able to make it work. Their AHL squad meanwhile, has Nikke Kokko on the last year of his RFA contract, Victor Ostman actively looking for his first contract out of RFA, and Kim Saarinen waiting in the wings. As Seattle’s luck has often lent the Coachella Valley netminders a chance to play at least a couple games in the NHL, it would be a good idea for the team to look at the development of these players and come up with a clearer picture. Stuff they’ve already done: Given Lleyton Roed and JR Avon 1 year contracts Said goodbye to Jaden Schwartz 🙁 Let madness continue!
