Adam Larsson to Seattle Kraken in expansion draft
The Edmonton Oilers are losing defenceman Adam Larsson to the Seattle Kraken in Wednesday's expansion draft, TSN reports.
Larsson is signing a four-year contract worth $16 million with the newest NHL franchise.
Larsson, who the Oilers got in a trade for forward Taylor Hall in 2016, was a pending free agent.
The Oilers left him unprotected after they traded for veteran defenceman Duncan Keith last week.
“He is obviously an unrestricted free agent,” Oilers general manager Ken Holland said recently, “and Adam has to make a decision as to what he feels is best for himself and his career.”
