Seattle Kraken Captain Jordan Eberle Extended for Two More Years<\/p>\n

Eberle has played for the Edmonton Oilers,<\/a> New York Islanders,<\/a> and the Kraken across his 16-year NHL career. The 35-year-old has 22 goals and 20 assists for 42 points in 59 games so far this season. He has been averaging 18 minutes, 37 seconds of ice time this season. Eberle has a Corsi for of 55.6 and a relative Corsi of 14.5<\/p>\n

The Regina, Saskatchewan native has 330 goals and 440 assists for 770 points in 1,119 career games. Edmonton originally drafted him the first round, 22nd overall of the 2008 NHL Draft. Eberle is a two-time NHL All-Star with appearances in 2012 and in 2022.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s represented his native Canada at the international level. Eberle won a gold and a silver at the World Junior Championships in 2009 and 2010, respectively. He\u2019s also gotten a gold at the senior level at the 2015 IIHF World Championships.<\/p>\n

What It Means<\/p>\n

This move keeps one of the original members of the Kraken on the roster. He was taken in the expansion draft by the club and has immediately become a fan favourite.<\/p>\n

Eberle became the team\u2019s captain in 2024-25 after Mark Giordano<\/a>, who was the franchise\u2019s first captain, was traded away. We\u2019ve seen Eberle seamlessly slide into that role of being a leader on the roster.<\/p>\n

There were some questions on what Seattle would do on deadline day. However, it looks like Seattle is locking down some of its veteran players. The Kraken are hanging onto the last Wild Card spot<\/a> in the Western Conference and are hoping to make the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the second time in team history.<\/p>\n
