Kraken Gamble on Overlooked Talent with One-Year Deal

Seattle is betting on reclamation projects, and this former fourth-round pick just got another shot to prove he belongs in the NHL. The Kraken have shown they're willing to take fliers on undervalued players, and a one-year contract gives both sides the flexibility to walk away if it doesn't work. This is the kind of low-risk move that can pay dividends if the player finds his game in a new system.
