The Seattle Kraken have made a major move in the NHL, signing defenseman Vince Dunn to a four-year contract. Dunn, 24, was a restricted free agent and was previously playing for the St. Louis Blues.
Dunn is an offensive-minded defenseman who can contribute on the power play and has a good shot from the point. He is also a good skater and can move the puck up the ice quickly. He has been a reliable defender in his NHL career, averaging over 20 minutes of ice time per game in each of the last two seasons.
The Kraken are hoping that Dunn can help bolster their blue line and provide some much needed depth. They have been looking for an experienced defenseman to help anchor their defense and Dunn fits the bill perfectly. He is a great addition to the team and should be able to help them compete for a Stanley Cup in the near future.
The contract is worth $16 million over four years and includes a signing bonus of $2 million. This is a great deal for the Kraken as they are getting a quality defenseman at a reasonable price. It also shows that they are committed to building a competitive team and are willing to spend money to do so.
The signing of Dunn is a great move for the Kraken and should help them take the next step in their development. He is an experienced player who can help them on both ends of the ice and should be an important part of their success going forward. It will be exciting to see what he can do in Seattle and how he can help the team reach their goals.
