The Seattle Kraken are betting on Jacob Melanson’s physicality and upside, signing the 23-year-old forward to a three-year contract extension after an impressive first NHL season.

The Seattle Kraken announced on Monday, June 29th, that the team had extended qualifying offers to Jacob Melanson, Mackie Samoskevich, Victor Ostman, and Ville Ottavainen. 

Jacob Melanson has been recalled by the Seattle Kraken as Ben Meyers heads to the IR with a lower-body injury.
