articleThe Brief Mason Marchment is looking forward to a fresh start with the Kraken after being traded from the Dallas Stars last week. After successive 22-goal seasons with the Dallas Stars, Mason Marchment joins the Seattle Kraken ready to be an impact performer for a team looking for a boost. Marchment became the odd-man out for Dallas as the Kraken took advantage of the opportunity to add a solid piece to their roster. "If you look at the areas for improvement, I'm not going to say size, I'm just going to say strength," Botterill said in April. Marchment got to see what playoff hockey can be in Seattle two years ago as the Stars and Kraken played a tight seven-game series in the second round.
