Kraken Re-Sign Tye Kartye

July 5, 2025 at 1:40 pm CDT | by Brian La Rose Leave a Comment

The Kraken have re-signed a key depth forward.  The team announced that they’ve inked winger Tye Kartye to a two-year contract worth $1.25MM per season.  He would have been eligible to file for arbitration by today’s 4:00 PM CT deadline.

The 24-year-old signed with Seattle as an undrafted free agent back in 2022, a move that has worked out well for both sides.  Kartye played his junior hockey with the OHL’s Soo Greyhounds and a 45-goal, 79-point campaign in 2021-22 was enough for the Kraken to give him an entry-level deal.

In the first season of that contract, Kartye played exclusively with AHL Coachella Valley during the regular season where he notched an impressive 28 goals and 29 assists in 72 games.  That was enough to earn him a recall to the Kraken for the playoffs where Kartye was an important secondary contributor, picking up five points in ten outings with Seattle along with 44 hits in his first taste of NHL action.  He was then returned to the Firebirds for their postseason run, adding eight points in 18 appearances.

His playoff showing was enough to make Kartye an NHL regular since then.  In 2023-24, he got into 77 games with the Kraken, tallying 11 goals and nine assists while he threw a team-high 229 hits in just under 12 minutes per game of playing time.  However, offense was a little harder to come by last season as he managed just six goals and seven helpers in 63 outings while his ice time dropped below ten minutes per night.

With that drop in production and playing time, it’s not a surprise that both sides opted for a short-term bridge deal.  Kartye will still be an arbitration-eligible restricted free agent when this contract expires although 2027 will be his final summer of RFA eligibility.

Seattle still has some work to do on the RFA front as winger Kaapo Kakko and defenseman Ryker Evans need new contracts.  Kakko is arbitration-eligible while Evans isn’t eligible to file this summer.
