Melanson’s Contract Breakdown | Seattle Kraken News

Jacob Melanson, the Kraken’s 23-year-old physical force, just signed a three-year deal averaging $1.45M per season — a reward for his record-setting 188 hits in 36 games last year and his relentless, fan-favorite energy. Drafted in Seattle’s first-ever NHL draft, he rose from not even knowing he was draft-eligible to becoming a cornerstone of the team’s identity. Despite past injuries — including two broken collarbones and a broken leg — he’s pushed through, made his NHL debut, and now proves he’s built for this level. Thrilled to be back with the Kraken, Melanson’s got the grit and drive to keep climbing. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
