Bobby McMann has signed a six‑year, $34.5 million contract with the Seattle Kraken, securing his place with the franchise through the next half‑decade and signaling a long‑term commitment to the team's direction.
A new chapter in Seattle
The 26‑year‑old forward entered the NHL at 26, spent two seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs and added 18 games for the Kraken this year, compiling a total of 29 goals across both clubs last season.
McMann notes that his performance has risen each year, emphasizing recent strides in east‑west transitions, offensive‑zone entry and the consistency of his defensive play.
He describes himself as a shoot‑first winger who can bring speed to the lineup, and he points to a positive working relationship with former Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube and current Kraken bench boss Lane Lambert as a key factor in his development.
Looking ahead
With the contract in place, McMann is focused on converting his offseason work into on‑ice production, aiming to boost his offensive output while continuing to refine the defensive responsibilities that the coaching staff values.
