Seattle acquired Samoskevich from Florida on Sunday in exchange for the No. 25 overall pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft and a conditional 2027 second-round selection.
Samoskevich accumulated 12 goals, 32 points, 161 shots on net and 136 hits across 77 appearances during the 2025-26 campaign. The 23-year-old will be in the mix for a middle-six role with the Kraken, and he will also likely see power-play time in the 2026-27 season.
