Kraken Sign Ben Meyers To One-Year Extension

June 2, 2025 at 2:56 pm CDT | by Gabriel Foley 1 Comment

The Seattle Kraken have announced a one-year extension for forward Ben Meyers. The contract will be one-way and carry a league-minimum salary of $775K. This deal is identical to Meyers’ last two contracts. He was previously set to expire as a Group-Six unrestricted free agent this season, with arbitration eligibility.

Meyers found a strong stride in the minor leagues this season. He led the AHL’s Coachella Valley Firebirds in scoring with 51 points in 57 games – a hardy improvement over the 25 points he scored in 32 games last season. Meyers also appeared in eight games with Seattle this year, but didn’t record any scoring. The stint with the Kraken nonetheless continued his search for a hardy NHL role, which has spanned three clubs and four seasons. He signed his first pro deal with the Colorado Avalanche at the end of the 2021-22 campaign, and joined the NHL ranks part-time in the 2022-23 season. But despite strong scoring in the minors – 24 points in 30 games – and 39 games at the NHL level, Meyers was only able to contribute four goals to the Avalanche’s effort.

Colorado continued to supply Meyers opportunity through 2023-24, but he wasn’t able to stick as more than a top-end minor-leaguer. That prompted a move to the Anaheim Ducks partway through the year, where he added two assists in 14 more NHL games. In total, Meyers has appeared in 75 NHL games through his career, but only managed eight points.

The winds could soon be shifting, though – evidenced by his starring role with the Firebirds this season. Seattle seems confident that he’ll be an impact player somewhere throughout the organization, and reward him with a one-way deal as a result. Next season will mark a chance for Meyers to return to the star role in Coachella Valley, and hopefully find his first score as a member of the Kraken.

    Seattle has now resigned two “NHL edge” cases in Hayden and Meyers. I think it’s worth considering the organization views these guys as important pieces in developing their prospects. Giving Nyman, Firkus, Sale, Rehkopf and others someone to actually play with is an important part of bringing players along. Contrary to a lot of misconceptions, developing Beniers and Wright is why they brought in Stephenson… not because they thought he was a No.1.
