The Seattle Kraken have secured veteran defenseman Adam Larsson with a four-year contract extension, maintaining his presence on the team through the 2028-29 season. This deal averages $5.25 million annually, affirming the franchise's commitment to one of its key blue liners who has been a consistent performer.

Larsson, who has played 245 of 246 games since joining the Kraken, demonstrated notable effectiveness in his defensive role, often matched up against top opposing forwards. His standout performance came in the 2022-23 season, where he achieved a personal best of 33 points.

Additionally, Larsson has served as an assistant captain and is considered a strong candidate for the permanent captaincy under the guidance of new coach Dan Bylsma.
