The Columbus Blue Jackets acquired forward Mason Marchment from the Seattle Kraken in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft and a second-round selection in 2027.
'Mason is a player I know very well, and I think he will add a great deal to our team,' Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell said in a statement. 'He is a physical, hard-nosed competitor with proven offensive ability and we are very excited to have him join the Blue Jackets.'
Also Saturday, Columbus announced forward Brandon Gaunce has been designated as a non-roster player as he is away from the team due to personal reasons.
Playing in the final season of a four-year, $18 million contract, Marchment had 13 points (four goals, nine assists) in 29 games with the Kraken. Seattle acquired the 6-foot-5 forward from the Dallas Stars on June 19 in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick in 2025 and a third-round selection in 2026.
Marchment, 30, has totaled 202 points (80 goals, 122 assists) and a plus-60 rating in 331 career games with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Florida Panthers, Stars and Kraken.
