The Tampa Bay Lightning’s recent acquisition, Yanni Gourde, posted a heartfelt note of thanks addressed to his former team, the Seattle Kraken.

The Seattle Kraken wrapped up the NHL trade deadline with their third deal in three days. Full details on what they brought in and gave up here.

The Seahawks took care of keeping both of their biggest pending free agents Sunday, agreeing to new contract with middle linebacker Ernest Jones IV a few hours after also agreeing to a deal with defensive tackle Jarran Reed.

The Seattle Seahawks are reportedly trading two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver DK Metcalf to the Pittsburgh Steelers, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero. Pittsburgh sent a second-round draft pick to Seattle in return for Metcalf, who agreed to a five-year, $150 million deal to seal the blockbuster trade.

While the Kraken's deadline trades permanently separate Eeli Tolvanen from his former linemates, they could also benefit John Hayden and Tye Kartye.

What could be a busy week of NHL trade deadline activity for the Seattle Kraken started with a bang on Wednesday.

Seattle Kraken general manager Ron Francis believes a trio of trades made ahead of Friday's NHL trade deadline helps position the team to make significant improvements this offseason.
