Kraken's Carson Soucy: Finishes solid season with Seattle
Rotowire
Soucy picked up three hits and one blocked shot in 17:20 of ice time in Monday's Game 7 loss to the Stars.
Soucy had a solid second season with the Kraken in 2022-23, picking up 16 points, 68 PIM, 87 shots, 143 hits and 96 blocks through 78 regular-season games before adding two points and 36 hits through 14 postseason appearances while regularly skating on the team's bottom pairing. The 28-year-old defender is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, and it remains to be seen if he'll re-sign with Seattle. Whichever team he ends up with, look for Soucy to continue to produce similar numbers while skating in a bottom-four role.

Kraken's Carson Soucy: Ends drought with helper
Rotowire
Soucy notched an assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Stars.

It's been a rough year for Soucy, who has 11 points in 65 contests this season after logging a career-best 21 points in 64 outings a year ago. He's added 74 shots on net, 122 hits, 76 blocked shots, 47 PIM and a plus-13 rating in 2022-23, but Soucy remains firmly planted on the third pairing, offering little incentive to interest fantasy managers.

Kraken's Carson Soucy: Hands out assist in overtime loss
Rotowire
Soucy provided an assist, logged two hits and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Ducks.
Soucy had the secondary helper on a Matty Beniers goal in the third period. In 2021-22, Soucy exploded for 10 goals and 21 points in 64 games, both career-high marks. The 28-year-old blueliner probably can't score goals at that rate again, and he's still not even guaranteed an everyday role, though he should see a majority of the time on the third pairing over Cale Fleury.
