Stars Trade Forward, Unload Cap Space
The Dallas Stars traded Mason Marchment to the Seattle Kraken for a third and fourth round pick on Thursday evening. The news comes mere hours after signing forward Matt Duchene to a four year, $4.5 million deal. Duchene was linemates with Marchment and had undeniable chemistry along with Tyler Seguin that made one of the best lines in hockey over the past two seasons. Dallas Stars left wing Mason Marchment (27) celebrates after he scores a goal against the Colorado Avalanche during the second period in game five of the first round of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs at American Airlines Center. Mandatory Credit: Jerome Miron-Imagn I Marchment had one year left on a four year, $4.5 million deal, the exact deal General Manager Jim Nill gave Duchene. Marchment was set to become an unrestricted free agent after next season and will likely demand a higher number than what he is currently making. His bruising style and flair for the dramatic are part of what drive him to be a valuable asset, and with a breakout year, he could secure a lucrative deal next off-season. Advertisement Surely, Dallas would have decided to keep Marchment if at all possible, but the salary cap dictated that the Stars simply had to move out at least one contract to make the last few moves of the summer. Dallas only had under $500k of cap space to work with after the Duchene deal, which was not even enough to sign a minimum salary player, let alone Jamie Benn or perhaps Mikael Granlund. With only one year left before Marchment might walk away based on the salary cap situation for Dallas next off-season, the Stars chose to get a couple of draft picks in return now instead of waiting. The question mark now becomes who replaces Marchment on the line next to Seguin and Duchene. Dallas is in win-now mode and needs every line to perform at its highest level in order to make the Stanley Cup Final. If Dallas needs to move more money, Matt Dumba or Ilya Lyubushkin have one and two more years on deals worth over $3 million each. Depending on what Nill has left on his to-do list, the Stars could be looking for suitors for one or both of those defensemen signed last off-season. Advertisement Marchment finished each of his last two seasons with 22 goals and added 56 assists. He had a rough first season, only potting 12 goals and 19 assists while being -6. On the line with Duchene and Seguin, he found a place to thrive, with a phenomenal +37 rating over those two seasons. The Kraken will welcome his goal scoring after a difficult season of being one of the worst scoring teams and missing the playoffs by a mile.

Stars trade Mason Marchment to Kraken for 2 draft picks, free up cap space
The Dallas Stars traded winger Mason Marchment to the Seattle Kraken on Thursday night for two draft picks, starting the process of freeing up cap space as they enter the busy part of the NHL offseason. The Kraken took on all of Marchment's $4.5 million cap hit for next season, according to league sources, and sent a 2026 third-round pick and a 2025 fourth-round pick back to Dallas in return. WHO'S READY FOR MARCH(MENT) MADNESS?! 😤 Mason Marchment's hard hits, grit and skill are joining the #SeaKraken following a trade with the Dallas Stars → — Seattle Kraken (@SeattleKraken) June 19, 2025 Marchment is coming off consecutive 22-goal seasons for the Stars, but scored just one goal in 18 playoff games during their run to the Western Conference final this spring. He signed with the Stars as a free agent in 2022 and put up 56 goals and 131 points in 211 games — reaching the third round of the playoffs each year. Advertisement The cap-clearing trade came just hours after Dallas signed veteran forward Matt Duchene to a four-year extension carrying a $4.5 million AAV. More moves are expected to come in the days and weeks ahead as the Stars look for more roster flexibility. Dallas is already within $5 million of the league's $95.5 million cap ceiling for 2025-26 — leaving them with less room to maneuver than every other team. The Kraken have oodles of cap space to work with and are looking to take a step forward after two years outside of the playoffs. They were drawn to how the 6-foot-5 Marchment can help alter the look and feel of their forward lines. 'I think Mason has a unique combination of size, skill and strength,' Kraken GM Jason Botterill told 'He works well down in the corners and around the net and that's an element we want to continue to add to our group here.' The 30-year-old Marchment has appeared in 302 NHL games for Toronto, Florida and Dallas, putting up 76 goals and 189 points. He's eligible to become an unrestricted free agent in July 2026.
