US EditionWild Open Roster Space with Gaudreau Trade to Seattle
- On June 26, 2025, the Minnesota Wild sent 32-year-old forward Frederick Gaudreau to the Seattle Kraken in return for the 102nd overall selection in the 2025 NHL Draft.
- The trade was designed to reduce the team's salary commitments by approximately $2.1 million annually for the next three years and create a roster vacancy for emerging talent or free-agent acquisitions.
- Gaudreau played all 82 games last season for Minnesota, recording 37 points including 18 goals and 19 assists, and he was valued for his defensive reliability and penalty-killing ability.
- Kraken GM Jason Botterill described Frederick as a well-rounded player who is effective both offensively and defensively.
- The trade could reshape Minnesota’s depth chart by easing the logjam of veteran forwards and providing Seattle with an experienced center holding three years on a $10.5 million contract.
