Seattle Kraken center Matty Beniers underwent transformations this summer, both to his physique and bank account. The 21-year-old Calder Trophy winner, along with Kraken GM Ron Francis, discuss what went into contract negotiations that originally opened before last season.
The end result was the Kraken locking up Beniers through the 2030-31 season, with a deal carrying an average annual value north of $7 million per year. As well as his wallet, Beniers worked on getting physically bigger during the offseason, which gets discussed in this Kraken Reaction.
