The Seattle Kraken risk losing the rights to sign goalie prospect Semyon Vyazovoy, drafted in the sixth round in 2021. The 21-year-old has not yet signed an entry-level contract despite strong stats in his junior league, with a 2.54 GAA and a .929 save percentage last season. Vyazovoy remains under contract with Salavat Yulaev in the KHL for the upcoming season, and it's unclear if the Kraken are focused on signing him. If Seattle doesn't act by June 1, 2025, Vyazovoy will become a free agent, and they could lose out on a promising goaltender.
- Vyazovoy recorded a 2.54 GAA and .929 SV% in 37 games last season.
- The Kraken have until June 1, 2025, to sign him or risk losing him as a free agent.
Seattle needs to monitor Vyazovoy's situation closely. If they don't sign him soon, they might lose a valuable prospect. The team's decision on whether to pursue him could significantly impact their future goaltending depth.
