Kraken Sign Tye Kartye To Two-Year Extension
Seattle Kraken forward Tye Kartye (12) skates with puck against the Vancouver Canucks during the third period at Rogers Arena. Mandatory Credit: Simon Fearn-Imagn Images The Seattle Kraken have signed forward Tye Kartye to a two-year, $1.25M AAV contract extension. The 24-year-old undrafted winger struggled in his sophomore season, scoring six goals and 13 points in 63 games, a step down statistically from his rookie season, where he scored 11 goals and 20 points in 77 games. Advertisement While his offensive numbers were down, his overall effect on the game significantly dropped off. He was a physical presence and a hound on the forecheck in his rookie year, but struggled to replicate it during the 2024-25 campaign. The two-year extension should serve as both a sign of faith that the Kraken believe he can re-find his level, but also as a confidence boost. If Kartye can be effective in the bottom six, the Kraken become a much harder team to beat. Under HC Lane Lambert, the Kraken are expected to be a defence-first team, and it should play right into the strengths of Kartye. Following Kartye's extension, the Kraken have Kaapo Kakko and Ryker Evans left to work out contract extensions with.

Kraken's Evans And Eberle's Injury Status Improve
Seattle Kraken forward Jordan Eberle and defenseman Ryker Evans skated in regular practice jerseys for the second consecutive practice. Jordan Eberle has ditched the red non-contact sweater, as has Ryker Evans. #SeaKraken — Sound Of Hockey (@sound_hockey) February 6, 2025 Ahead of their 3-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, Evans and Eberle participated in practice with contact, upgrading their status from non-contact just a couple of days before. The Kraken have one more game before the 4 Nations Face-Off and are hoping to welcome back Evans. He's been dealing with an upper-body injury since Jan. 28 but has been considered day-to-day since then. His development has hit a new level this year, scoring five goals and 21 points in 50 games, but the trust he's developed from the coaching staff has been the most pleasant part of his game. He's averaging over 20:00 of ice time and has shown comfortability playing alongside multiple defence partners. Ryker Evans strikes one for Seattle. ☝️ — Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) January 11, 2025 Eberle, the Kraken's captain, has been out since Nov. 14, and the Kraken will be hoping he'll be up to game speed after the 4 Nations Face-Off. The 34-year-old played in just 17 games before sustaining his pelvis injury but was able to score five goals and 11 points. His return will likely cause some changes in the lineup, but with the rumours that the Kraken could look to move multiple players, it might not force too many players into unfamiliar spots.
