Kraken Trade Forward Marchment to Columbus for Picks
Columbus Blue Jackets acquire forward Mason Marchment, who scored 13 points in 29 games for Seattle, in exchange for two draft picks amid Kraken's losing streak, GM says.
- On Dec. 20, the Columbus Blue Jackets announced they acquired Mason Marchment from the Seattle Kraken for a 2026 fourth-round pick and a 2027 second-round pick, on the eve of the NHL holiday roster freeze.
- The Kraken needed to shake things up after losing 10 of their last 11 games, and they cleared salary-cap space by moving Marchment while Columbus,.500 at 14-14-6, sought to bolster a struggling lineup.
- Marchment, 30, brings size and recent production context: he is listed at 6-foot-5 and 215 pounds and had 13 points in 29 games for Seattle.
- "This trade gives us more draft capital and flexibility as we look to improve our team moving forward", Kraken general manager Jason Botterill said; there was no salary retained, and Don Waddell said Marchment will add size and offense.
- Columbus ranks 21st offensively with 2.88 goals per game, while Seattle hasn't won in regulation since Nov. 20 and is seven points out of a playoff spot.
