The rivalry between the Seattle Kraken and Vegas Golden Knights, the NHL's two newest teams, is heating up with the Kraken adding fuel to the fire.
Stephenson recorded 51 points last year with the Golden Knights as their second-line center. He boasts two Stanley Cup victories, one against the Golden Knights in 2018 and another with them in 2023. In Seattle, he is set to join Matty Beniers, Jared McCann, and Jordan Eberle, likely slotting in as their second-line center.
This development could pose challenges for top prospect Shane Wright, who may find himself behind Stephenson on the second line. The implications for Wright remain uncertain, potentially making him a trade candidate.
