The Kraken did take three players scheduled to make more than $5 million next season.
Veteran Calgary Flames defenseman Mark Giordano ($6.75 million), the 2019 Norris Trophy winner, is expected to be the Kraken’s first captain.
“This is the first time in my career I’ve ever been drafted,” Giordano said, who entered the league as an undrafted free agent.
