Vince Dunn has signed a new contract with the Seattle Kraken.

Kind of surprised its not an 8 year deal but hey what can you do

He should live up to it

Love the deal for both sides. Seattle gets their 1D at a nice AAV for the next 4 years and Dunn gets a chance to get a raise whenever the cap is up at the end of this deal.

Only 4 years takes him until he's 30, but that AAV is SUPER high for a guy that has never shown signs of being able to consistently produce offensively like he did last season...

Are you serious? How do we know that last season wasn't a flash in the pan?

Ive been a believer of his for a long time so maybe I'm just bias but I think it will turn out fine for both sides

I think this is a contract that serves both Dunn and the Kraken well. Dunn gets a nice payday coming off his breakout season and if he continues to produce like he has will get the opportunity to cash in again down the road while still in his prime. The Kraken get at least four more years of their best LHD who has blossomed into a legitimate top-pairing defenseman during his time in Seattle. Vince Dunn's play and his partnership with Adam Larsson have been critical to Seattle's success, and I'm excited to see him continue work his on-ice magic in a Kraken uniform for many years to come!

man had one stellar season and got absolutely paid. good for him. but LOL.

Was expecting $5.5m to $6m x 8.

Wonder why he didn’t get the term.

I guess this is what 1 good season gets you these days in the world of Ron Francis. He’s a good two-way defenseman and all but 7.35 is about 2 mil too high IMO.

Would have voted yes if it was 7 or 8 years of term instead of 4, even if I'm still iffy on the AAV

Madness.

LOL, you actually thought he was gonna get that little in terms of total money?

Mate, take off the Kraken glasses for a moment. This is a serious overpay. He’s 500k short of Quinn Hughes money and he’s half the player.

He's purely an offensive defenseman, not a two-way player

He had a good defensive game last season

i like dunn but that's a lot of dollars in not a long enough time

I was not expecting this kind of deal for Dunn, surprised by the high AAV but I feel, like Orlov, the team could like shorter term at a higher AAV

Hronek, please don't look. Just forget this ever happened.....

A bit higher aav that I expected, but I really like the term here.
Good underlyings for years, I'd wager this works out more often than it doesn't.

Love the term, this is a really great contract

We said the same about Tage when he signed ''What if it's just a flash in the pan??''. Both sides will be more than fine.

$6m x 8 = $48m. That is a lot of money.

There are only 32 dmen in NHL today that have gotten $6m on max term. That would put Dunn solidly in #2/#3 range. I think that’s fair.

There was an argument that Tage was the worst forward in the league who regularly got ice time prior to his breakout.
Dunn has been an analytical darling for years

You mean Adam Larsson had a good defensive game last season
