DUMOULIN TO THE DUCKS

The Anaheim Ducks acquired defenseman Brian Dumoulin from the Seattle Kraken for a fourth-round draft pick in 2026.

What does it give the Anaheim Ducks
In Dumoulin, the Ducks get a quality defender whose offensive game has long since diminished. GM Pat Verbeek would have preferred a right defenseman here, but Dumoulin should help.

What does it give the Seattle Kraken
After signing Brandon Montour via free agency, the Kraken needed to deal a defenseman in order to open up a roster spot for young Ryker Evans. The Dumoulin trade accomplishes that.

Fantasy impact
