Hayden was reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

After being called up by the Kraken on Oct. 17, Hayden made three appearances with the NHL club. He was held scoreless with seven hits and two blocked shots, but he didn't appear in any of Seattle's last three games and should have an opportunity to see more consistent time on the ice in the minors.

Hayden was recalled from AHL Coachella Valley on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hayden made 20 regular-season appearances for the Kraken last year and recorded a goal, an assist, 44 hits, 31 PIM and 19 blocked shots while averaging 8:31 of ice time. He was sent to the minors ahead of the 2025-26 campaign, but he'll rejoin the NHL club after Frederick Gaudreau was placed on injured reserve Friday.

Hayden was put on waivers Sunday for the purpose of assigning him to AHL Coachella Valley.

EDGE Analysis

Hayden collected one goal, two points, 20 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and 44 hits in 20 regular-season games with Seattle in 2024-25. Assuming he clears waivers, he could see NHL action again this campaign.

Hayden inked a two-year, $1.55 million contract with the Kraken on Wednesday, per Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Hayden had the opportunity to test the UFA market after completing his one-year, $775,000 deal, but he's opted to stay with Seattle. The 30-year-old had a goal, two points, 31 PIM and 44 hits across 20 outings with the Kraken in 2024-25. His new contract is a one-way agreement, so it wouldn't be surprising if Hayden starts 2025-26 with the NHL squad, though his spot isn't guaranteed, and he would probably spend a fair amount of time as a healthy scratch with the Kraken.

Hayden was loaned to AHL Coachella Valley on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Hayden passed through waivers Saturday after he was placed there Friday. The 30-year-old ends the NHL season with one goal, one assist and 31 PIM over 20 games.

Hayden cleared waivers but will remain on the Kraken's roster for Saturday's game against St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Hayden has a goal, two points, 31 PIM and 44 hits in 19 appearances with the Kraken in 2024-25. He's an option for Saturday's clash versus the Blues but might be a healthy scratch.

Hayden was put on waivers by Seattle on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hayden has a goal and two points in 19 appearances with the Kraken this campaign. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, he'll presumably be sent to AHL Coachella Valley, where he's provided 11 goals and 27 points across 43 outings in 2024-25.

Hayden was called up by Seattle on Friday, per Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Hayden has 11 goals and 27 points in 43 appearances with AHL Coachella Valley this season. He also has a goal and an assist in seven outings with Seattle. Now that the dust has settled on the Kraken's trade deadline activity, Hayden might be in the mix for a fourth-line role for the rest of the season.

Hayden was reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hayden was close to exhausting his waiver exemption after clearing at the beginning of the year and having two stints on the NHL roster. It's also possible Yanni Gourde (lower body) will be ready to play Thursday versus the Sharks. Hayden has two points, 19 hits and six shots on goal over seven appearances at the NHL level this year, but he'll likely have to wait for injuries among the Kraken's forwards to occur before he might get another look.

Hayden provided an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Hayden has two points over his last three contests while filling a fourth-line role. The 29-year-old is challenging Tye Kartye for the last spot in the lineup, and it's a battle Hayden has largely been winning over the second half of January. For the season, Hayden's at two points, six shots on net, 19 hits and a plus-1 rating through seven appearances. By the end of the month, Hayden will likely have accrued 30 days on the NHL roster, and he would require waivers to return to AHL Coachella Valley if he loses his place once Yanni Gourde (lower body) comes off injured reserve.
