The Seattle Kraken made a significant move by re-signing defenseman Cale Fleury to a two-year, one-way contract worth $890,000 per year. This move is part of the Kraken's strategy to retain key players from their AHL affiliate, the Coachella Valley Firebirds, ahead of the free agency period.

Fleury has established himself as a strong contributor, having recorded 29 points in 39 games during the last AHL season and a plus-minus of +10. His re-signing joins forwards John Hayden and Ben Meyers, who were also retained earlier this month, ensuring that the Kraken maintain a competitive edge in the upcoming season. With the free agency period approaching, the Kraken are focusing on solidifying their roster while only five players from their original nine free agents remain on the market.
