Ryan Lindgren signs a 4 year deal in free agency

This just in, the Seattle Kraken have signed free agent defenseman Ryan Lindgren to a 4 year contract worth $4.5 million per season.

From NHL insider Pierre LeBrun:

The 27 year old blue liner split last season between the Colorado Avalanche and New York Rangers following a trade at the 2025 trade deadline.

You may recall that the Rangers traded Lindgren, Hank Kempf, and Jimmy Vesey to the Colorado Avalanche, in exchange for Calvin de Haan, Juuso Pärssinen, and two conditional draft picks.

Lindgren now joins a Seattle blue line that is now even more beefy. Lindgren, Jamie Oleksiak, Adam Larsson and Brandon Montour are all big boys who aren't afraid to throw their weight around. Look for the Kraken to play a physical style this upcoming season.
