The Seattle Kraken have made significant signings, including a two-year, $3.475 million contract with winger Eeli Tolvanen and a three-year, $2.925 million entry-level contract with first-round pick Berkly Catton. Tolvanen, a key player for the Kraken, had a good 2022-23 season but saw a slight dip in production last year. Catton, a highly promising 18-year-old center, was a standout in the WHL. The Kraken still have pending contract negotiations with their first-round pick Matty Beniers. Tolvanen's deal provides the team with flexibility to potentially sign more players given their salary cap situation.
