SEATTLE \u2014 The Seattle Kraken acquired young forward Mackie Samoskevich from the Florida Panthers for the No. 25 pick in the NHL draft on Friday and a second-rounder next year, the teams announced Sunday.<\/p>

Samoskevich is a 23-year-old with 64 points in 160 regular-season and playoff games who gives the Kraken a much-need infusion talent after they missed the playoffs for the fourth time in their five years of existence. He is a restricted free agent who needs a new contract.<\/p>\n

\u201cMackie is a talented young player who we are excited to bring into the fold,\u201d Seattle general manager Jason Botterill said. \u201cHe has speed, skill and scoring ability. A Stanley Cup champion with the Panthers in 2025, Mackie\u2019s a player who can contribute offensively and add a spark to our lineup.\u201d<\/p>

Trading Samoskevich for picks clears space as the Panthers retool following a season that got derailed by injuries after they won the Stanley Cup back to back<\/a> in 2024 and \u201925. The 25th pick, a late first-rounder, originally belonged to rival Tampa Bay, while the second will be the higher of Winnipeg\u2019s or Columbus\u2019.<\/p>\n

Samoskevich was the No. 24 pick in the 2021 draft who then played at Michigan alongside new Kraken teammate Matty Beniers.<\/p>
