The Kraken announced yesterday that they have signed forward Curtis Douglas to a two-year, $1.25 million AAV contract.
Speaking on the acquisition, Kraken GM Jason Botterill is excited for the "size and strong physical presence" Douglas brings, adding that he "is difficult to play against." Douglas made his NHL debut with the Tampa Bay Lightning on October 5, 2025. In his time in Tampa Bay, he led the team in penalty minutes.
