Kaden Hammell

June 2025 – Hammell signed his entry level contract with Seattle on June 1st to cap off a solid season with Everett in the WHL. He grew his offensive totals to 10 goals and 28 assists for 38 points across 59 games, and halved his penalty minutes to 25. It’s a safe bet that Hammell will get a shot to join the Coachella Valley Firebirds of the AHL as many of Seattle’s rookies are hoping to graduate to as well. The Kraken boast one of the deeper prospect pools in the NHL, so Hammell will have to bide his time in the AHL until he shows the ability to usurp an incumbent defenseman at the NHL level. He’s worth continuing to watch, but not worth a fantasy investment at the present time.  Alex Wyatt

September 2024- Hammell put in a solid body of work in the 2023-2024 season for the Everett Silvertips. He scored five goals and 20 assists for 25 points in 52 games. He also added to his PIM totals, reaching 56, a high water mark in his career. He enters the 2024-2025 season as the team’s Captain, and looks to cement a decent WHL career that has shown him grow his point production each year. He isn’t the top offensive option in Seattle’s pipeline, but he plays a solid game that could see him earn a middle-pairing role if his development continues. Alex Wyatt 

August 2023 – Drafted 148th overall in the 2023 draft, Hammell scored 26 points in 67 games in the WHL. He will spend another season with the Silvertips and build on his skills that already appear poised for the NHL. Alex Wyatt
