The Kraken have acquired Michael Eyssimont, a 2026 1st Round Pick, a 2027 1st Round Pick and a 2025 2nd Round Pick from the Lightning for Oliver Bjorkstrand, Yanni Gourde and a 2026 5th Round Pick.

Eyssimont has established himself as a reliable role player of the past few seasons and will likely continue to fill that role with Seattle. The 28-year-old was averaging 10:41 time-on-ice and scored 10 points (5G / 5A) in 57 games with Tampa Bay this season.

Eyssimont was originally expected to be out until the middle of October, but he removed his non-contact jersey for Thursday's practice. Head coach Jon Cooper said that Eyssimont will need to get his conditioning up but it seems possible that he could be ready for the Lightning's season opener. He skated with Nick Paul and Conor Sheary in Thursday's practice session.
