The 25-year-old joins the Kraken after posting 17 points (8g/9a) in 74 games with Chicago and Detroit last season

The Seattle Kraken have announced they have acquired forward Joe Veleno from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for forward Andre Burakovsky. This exchange of forwards brings a little more youth to the Kraken while giving the Blackhawks more scoring talent on the wing.

Burakovsky has been an extremely efficient scorer throughout his career, but he's now 30 and coming off two poor seasons. The Hawks acquired him for Joe Veleno on Saturday.
