Chris Driedger joins Seattle on a multi-year deal

The Seattle Kraken had until 10am ET to finalize and submit their selections to the National Hockey League, and now that the deadline has passed, some of the picks/signings have been completed.

It had been one of the worst kept secrets in hockey for over a week now, but the Seattle Kraken will take goaltender Chris Driedger from the Florida Panthers. Seattle and Driedger have a three-year, $10.5 million contract ($3.5 million AAV) in place.

The Winnipeg, Manitoba native had a very strong season for the Panthers. In 23 games, he had a record of 14-6-3 with a 2.07 G.A.A., a .927 save percentage, and three shutouts.

It's past the 10 a.m. Eastern deadline for the #SeaKraken's expansion draft list to be submitted. Defenseman Adam Larsson is heading to Seattle on a $16M, 4-year deal and goaltender Chris Driedger on a $10.5M, 3-year deal.— Stephen Whyno (@SWhyno) July 21, 2021
