Josh Mahura - Makes opening roster Mahura was named to the Kraken's opening roster Monday after passing through waivers over the weekend.
Impact Mahura will begin 2024-25 in the NHL as a seventh defenseman. It would not be surprising to see him shuttled back and forth between the Kraken and AHL Coachella Valley in paper transactions given the NHL club's tight cap situation.

Ryan Winterton - Ticketed for Coachella Valley Winterton was assigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Sunday.
Impact Winterton was selected in the third round of the 2021 NHL Entry Draft by Seattle. The 21-year-old didn't make the Opening Night roster, but he was among the final roster cuts, meaning he could be on the cusp of being ready for the NHL. Winterton banked 35 points in 58 regular-season games with the Firebirds in 2023-24.

John Hayden - Waived Saturday Hayden was waived by the Kraken on Saturday.
Impact Hayden had 15 goals, 26 points and 73 PIM in 65 regular-season contests with AHL Coachella Valley in 2023-24. He's a veteran of 249 career NHL regular-season games, recording 17 goals, 37 points and 290 PIM. The 29-year-old will probably spend most, if not all, of 2024-25 in the minors.

Josh Mahura - Hits waivers Mahura was placed on waivers Saturday.
Impact Mahura produced nine assists, 25 shots on goal, 27 blocked shots and 40 hits in 30 games with Florida during the 2023-24 regular season. If he doesn't get claimed off waivers by another team, he could start the 2024-25 campaign with AHL Coachella Valley.

Cale Fleury - Placed on waivers Thursday Fleury was placed on waivers Thursday.
Impact The defenseman will be sent to AHL Coachella Valley, should he pass through waivers. The 25-year-old defenseman was pointless in his only regular-season NHL game in 2023-24. Fleury had seven goals and 29 assists in 65 AHL games last season.

Oilers can't find saves or goals in lopsided loss to Kraken Edmonton drops 6-2 loss to Seattle Kraken in a preseason tilt that saw both teams dress almost their full NHL lineups.
OCTOBER 3 • EDMONTONJOURNAL.COM
Oliver Bjorkstrand - Collects two assists Bjorkstrand notched two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 6-2 preseason win over the Oilers.
Impact Bjorkstrand set up goals by Shane Wright and Jaden Schwartz in the contest. In 2023-24, Bjorkstrand set career highs with 39 assists, 59 points and 25 power-play points in 82 games. The playmaking winger is likely to fill a middle-six role at even strength while also featuring on the power play to begin 2024-25.
OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Ryker Evans - Dishes pair of assists Evans recorded two assists, three shots on goal, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 6-2 preseason win over the Oilers.
Impact Evans was in the lineup over Josh Mahura with the Kraken playing a lineup that looks very similar to what they're expected to roll out for Opening Night versus the Blues on Tuesday. The pair of helpers were Evans' first points in four preseason outings. While it looks like he's set to begin the year on the third pairing, he won't have an obvious path to power-play time -- Brandon Montour and Vince are expected to be the blueliners that see time with the man advantage.

Will Borgen - Earns two points in win Borgen scored a goal, added an assist, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-2 preseason win over the Oilers.
Impact Borgen typically isn't a huge part of the offense -- he set a career high with 25 points last season. The 27-year-old helped out on a Brandon Tanev goal in the second period, and his teammate returned the favor late in the third. Borgen will likely begin 2024-25 on the third pairing with no power-play time, though he can be a help to fantasy managers playing in deep leagues that reward physical play.
OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Tanev - Pair of points Wednesday Tanev scored a goal, dished an assist, blocked two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-2 preseason win over the Oilers.
Impact Tanev opened the scoring at 5:52 of the second period, and he set up a Will Borgen tally in the third. The 32-year-old Tanev is not guaranteed to be in the lineup all the time, but he is valued for his penalty killing and defense. The winger is penciled in for a fourth-line role to begin 2024-25, which is a spot he may have to share with Tye Kartye or John Hayden.
OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Montour - Goal, assist in win Montour scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, blocked five shots and logged two PIM in Wednesday's 6-2 preseason win over the Oilers.
Impact Montour's pair of points came in the second period, which included the game-winning goal. The 30-year-old defenseman looks to be settling in with his new team after signing a seven-year contract with the Kraken on July 1. Montour is expected to play in a top-four role and see significant power-play time, though he'll likely end up closer to his 33-point 2023-24 season than the 73-point campaign he produced in 2022-23.
OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Shane Wright - Makes good impression Wright scored twice on five shots in Wednesday's 6-2 preseason win over the Oilers.
Impact Wright ends the preseason with three goals in four games after tallying twice in the second period Wednesday. He made a spin move to bury his first goal before striking from the top of the right circle for his second tally. The 20-year-old is expected to begin in the NHL this year, though he'll likely have to settle for middle-six minutes initially.
OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Philipp Grubauer - Looks ready for season Grubauer stopped 28 of 30 shots in Wednesday's 6-2 preseason win over the Oilers.
Impact Grubauer struggled in his first two preseason outings, but he bounced back well in his third and final start of the exhibition slate. The Oilers scored twice in a span of 1:51 in the middle of the second period, but the Kraken, with a mostly NHL lineup, rallied back as Grubauer closed the door in the third. The 32-year-old netminder is poised to share the crease with Joey Daccord early in 2024-25, but it's possible head coach Dan Bylsma opts to ride the hot hand. The Kraken open their regular season Tuesday at home versus the Blues.

Jared McCann - Late scratch Wednesday McCann (lower body) won't play Wednesday versus the Oilers.
Impact McCann was a late scratch before the contest. It's unclear how significant the 28-year-old's injury is, but given that this is the Kraken's preseason finale, there's a chance it's a precautionary move by the team with one of its top forwards. The Kraken open their regular season Tuesday at home versus the Blues.
