A move that seemed routine at the NHL trade deadline has quickly become one of the most talked-about stories of the offseason. Just months after being traded by the Toronto Maple Leafs, Bobby McMann has secured a major long-term contract with the Seattle Kraken, turning heads across the hockey world.
McMann’s journey to this point has been anything but ordinary. After entering professional hockey as an undrafted player, he worked his way through multiple levels before establishing himself in the NHL. His strong performances with both Toronto and Seattle during the 2025-26 season helped elevate his value and ultimately led to a career-changing contract.

What everyone feared?? McMann is 29 years old, and signed a six year deal. He has moments of "goodness" but pretty average for long stretches.
And when you have 4 or 5 players taking up half of the cap you end up losing the mid range players and that makes you top heavy and nowhere near a top contender ever
