The Seattle Kraken have signed their first player.

Luke Henman, a 21-year-old center, inked a three-year, entry-level contract with the NHL's 32nd franchise on Wednesday.

Henman, the team captain and leading scorer for Blainville-Boisbriand Armada (QMJHL), was a fourth-round draft pick of the Carolina Hurricanes in 2018. He went unsigned by the Hurricanes in the offseason, making him a free agent.
