We have a trade to announce in the NHL involving a Quebec-born centerman. With just a few hours left before the 2025 NHL Draft, things are heating up!
In the past few minutes, Quebec forward Frederick Gaudreau has officially been traded from the Minnesota Wild to the Seattle Kraken.

Gaudreau, 32, is a solid 6-foot, 184-pound centerman who tallied 37 points in 82 games this season with Minnesota (18 goals).
He earns $2.1 million per year through 2028, after which he'll become an unrestricted free agent.
He's an excellent third-line center with a good, affordable contract, making this a great deal for the Seattle Kraken.
Given that Seattle is loaded with centers, one has to wonder if this move is setting the stage for another trade..
The current centers in Seattle:
Matty Beniers
Shane Wright
Jared McCann
Chandler Stephenson
Frederick Gaudreau
Joe Veleno
Not to mention Berkly Catton.
A quick call from the Habs to Seattle seems necessary.. for the first three, let's say.

It would definitely be worth it for Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton to reach out to Seattle, just in case they're open to dealing a younger center.
More details to come in the next few minutes.
