Originally posted on Pro Hockey Rumors | By Gavin Lee | Last updated 5/12/21 The Seattle Kraken have their Reid Duke. The newest NHL franchise signed the first player in franchise history, inking Luke Henman to a three-year, entry-level contract. Henman was originally drafted by the Carolina Hurricanes in 2018 but was never signed, making him an unrestricted free agent. Kraken GM Ron Francis was actually already gone from the Hurricanes organization when it picked Henman, but he is obviously familiar with the player. He released a short statement on his first signing: "Our scouts have been watching players all year. In this case, Mike Dawson has been a strong supporter for Luke. Robert Kron and Tony McDonald like him too.
