Mason Marchment opens up on Seattle trade

After being traded from Dallas to the Seattle Kraken, Mason Marchment shared his thoughts on the move last week. He mentioned that he's genuinely excited about starting a new chapter in Seattle.

He also explained that this trade feels like a fresh opportunity and he's eager to help the Kraken push for a playoff spot.

“I’m definitely excited to get down there and meet everyone,” Marchment said. “But for me, it’s going to be a fresh opportunity and a good start, and that’s always exciting. So, I’m looking forward to that, and hopefully we can get better as a team and make the playoffs.” [H/T AP News]

Speaking of the move, Marchment acknowledged that trades are simply part of the business side of hockey. Having grown up around the sport, he mentioned that he understands that changes like this happen, and in this case, it just happened to be him.

“I don’t take it as a knock at all. There’s teams out there that want you, so it’s always a good thing. It’s just part of the business. You go with it as it goes, but I’m excited to start in Seattle and get playing.”

Marchment also spoke about Seattle’s playoff atmosphere, remembering how loud and intense Climate Pledge Arena was when he played there as a visitor during the postseason. He added that he's looking forward to now being on the home side of that energy.
