Stephenson secured a seven-year, $43.75 million contract with Seattle on Monday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.
Stephenson is coming off a relatively disappointing year, as he missed out on a third straight 60-point campaign. The 30-year-old center managed to rack up 16 goals and 35 assists, including 13 power-play points, in 75 regular-season contests for the Golden Knights. The Kraken have plenty of center depth in the top six with Matty Beniers and Jared McCann, not to mention youngster Shane Wright, so Stephenson or someone else will have move to the wing. That shouldn't prevent him from pushing for 20 goals and 60 points this season while playing in a top-six role in 2024-25.
