Adam Larsson is staying in Seattle.
The 31-year-old defenceman has signed a four-year contract extension with the Kraken, which will carry an average annual value of $5.25 million.
Larsson was entering the final year of a four-year pact he signed with Seattle ahead of its inaugural season in 2021 after it selected him in the expansion draft.
In 2023-24, Larsson scored four goals and dished out 14 assists while recording a plus-six rating in just under 23 minutes of ice time per game for a Kraken team that finished sixth in the Pacific Division with a 34-35-13 record.
Originally selected fourth overall by the New Jersey Devils in the 2011 draft, the six-foot-three Swede has played in 13 NHL seasons.
Larsson has skated in 848 career games, registering 45 goals and 168 assists for 213 points. For his career, he has averaged over 21 minutes of ice time per game.
He has also made it to the Stanley Cup Playoffs on five separate occasions, the most recent coming in 2022-23 for the upstart Kraken, who made it to the second round before falling in Game 7 to the Dallas Stars. He scored two goals and four points over 14 games that post-season.
The Kraken will enter the 2024-25 campaign with a new-look squad, as they brought in some Stanley Cup experience by hiring Dan Bylsma to take over the head coaching duties and signed veteran free agents Brandon Montour and Chandler Stephenson.
