A selection of the NHL’s draft expansion for the Seattle Kraken won’t be official until Wednesday night, but The Athletic’s Michael Russo, citing sources, says Kraken defenseman Carson Soucy will take off the Minnesota Wild.
Numerous others have confirmed Russo’s report.
If Soucy actually goes to Seattle, Minnesota will remain under contract with just three defenders: Jonas Brodin, Matt Dumba and Jared Spurgeon.
The Wild has ties to Ryan Suter, while Ian Cole and Brad Hunt could become free agents. Minnesota also has top defender Calen Addison, who played three NHL games last season.
