The Kraken acquired 6-foot-5 forward Mason Marchment from the Stars in exchange for a 2025 fourth-round pick and a 2026 third-round selection.

The Carolina Hurricanes have re-signed depth forward Eric Robinson to a four-year contract worth $6.8 million.

The Avalanche have reached one-year deals with forwards Matthew Stienburg and Jason Polin.

These seven players are unlikely to be first-rounders, but all have a path to NHL success down the road.
