The 26-year-old forward was a restricted free agent and avoided a salary arbitration hearing scheduled for Thursday. He had 21 points (eight goals, 13 assists) in 68 games for the Jets and Seattle Kraken last season, including four points (two goals, two assists) in 19 games with Winnipeg after he was acquired in a trade March 20. Appleton was selected by the Kraken from the Jets in the 2021 NHL Expansion Draft.
The Seattle Kraken continued building up their center depth by signing Cameron Hughes to a two-year, $1.525 million contract. Cameron Hughes Age: 25 Position: Center/Left Wing 2021-22 Team: Providence Bruins (AHL) 2021-22 Season: Hughes led the Bruins in assists and scoring, tallying 31 assists and 45 points, respectively, in 59 games. He didn’t play in the team’s two postseason games, and finished the regular season with a minus-7 rating.
When I had some time to think about it, I started getting really excited,” he said. Obviously Seattle’s been in the league now for one year. So, I would assume there’s a lot of buzz about the team around the city and excitement about a new team.
