The Seattle Kraken have traded defenseman Brian Dumoulin to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for a 2026 fourth-round draft pick.
Following the addition of right-handed defenseman Brandon Montour in free agency on Monday, it seemed likely that the Kraken would need to move one of their defensemen in trade and Dumoulin was the piece they elected to move out.Dumoulin played 80 out of 82 games for Seattle last season with 16 points, a career-high six goals and 10 assists. He signed a two-year deal worth $3.
Cale Fleury, Gustav Olofsson, and Max Lajoie remain as veteran fill-in options at AHL Coachella Valley, with former draft pick Ville Ottavainen another possibility as well.The Kraken are still working to get contracts done with restricted free agents Matty Beniers and Eeli Tolvanen as well, and the trade of Dumoulin frees up more cap space to help accomplish that task.
