Blue Jackets acquire Marchment from Kraken — The Fourth Period
The Columbus Blue Jackets have acquired forward Mason Marchment from the Seattle Kraken in exchange for a 2026 fourth-round draft pick and a 2027 second-round draft pick.
“Mason is a player I know very well, and I think he will add a great deal to our team,” said Blue Jackets GM Don Waddell. “He is a physical, hard-nosed competitor with proven offensive ability and we are very excited to have him join the Blue Jackets.”
Acquired by the Kraken on June 19 from Dallas in exchange for Dallas’ 2025 fourth-round pick and Seattle’s own 2026 third-round pick, Marchment recorded four goals and nine assists for 13 points and 26 penalty minutes in 29 regular-season games this season.
Marchment, 30, is in the final year of his contract and comes with a $4.5 million salary cap hit.
“I’d like to thank Mason for his contributions to our club, and we wish him and his family all the best in Columbus,” said Kraken GM Jason Botterill. “This trade gives us more draft capital and flexibility as we look to improve our team moving forward.”
The Uxbridge, Ontario native has appeared in 331 career regular-season games with Seattle, Dallas, Florida and Toronto, recording 80 goals and 122 assists for 202 points, 284 penalty minutes and a +60 rating.
