The Seattle Kraken are poised for significant changes ahead of the March 7 trade deadline, with several players potentially on the move. Defenseman Jamie Oleksiak and forward Oliver Bjorkstrand are at the forefront of trade chatter, with the Kraken reportedly considering offers for their assets. Brandon Tanev, who has a $3.5 million cap hit and is a pending unrestricted free agent, is widely expected to be traded, along with Jared McCann, who has a no-trade list in place. There’s also speculation surrounding Yanni Gourde, indicating the Kraken could be very active in the market.

With injuries affecting their roster and the team looking to build for the future, Seattle's front office is entertaining offers for various players. The sense around the league suggests that both McCann and Tanev are the most likely candidates to be moved, reflecting a strategic shift as the Kraken aim to enhance their roster.
