Kaapo Kakko is eager to make his mark with the Seattle Kraken after a challenging stint with the New York Rangers. Following a trade that sent him to Seattle, he participated in his first game, aiming to bolster the team's struggling offense.

Despite a loss to the Chicago Blackhawks, Kakko expressed confidence in his two-way play, hoping to contribute significantly. The Kraken view him as a valuable addition, especially in light of their captain's absence due to injury.
