The Dallas Stars announced they have traded forward Mason Marchment to the Seattle Kraken in exchange for a 2025 fourth-round pick and 2026 third-round pick.
Marchment, who turned 30 years old Wednesday, spent the last three seasons in Dallas. He had his best year in the 2024-25 season, when he scored 22 goals and added 25 assists for 47 points in 62 games.
He also missed over a month of play after taking a puck to the face in late December that required facial surgery. He wasn’t quite the same after returning in February and struggled at times during the playoff run, recording just one goal and four assists in 18 games.
Marchment developed a reputation as one of the more physical players on the Stars’ roster, but he also found himself in trouble at times when it came to taking penalties. He recorded 18 penalty minutes in this year’s playoff run.
Nevertheless, Marchment showed an upward trajectory during his three seasons in Dallas.
After spending time in Toronto and Florida in the first three years of his career, Marchment signed as a free agent in Dallas in 2022 just a week after the death of his father, former NHL player Bryan Marchment.
Between moving teams and coping with the loss, Marchment struggled in his first year, recording a 32-game goal drought in the 2022-23 season.
But after Matt Duchene arrived in Dallas ahead of the 2023-24 season, their line with Tyler Seguin became one of Dallas’ best at many times over the last two years. Marchment recorded 22 goals in each of the last two seasons, doing so in 19 fewer games in 2024-25.
However, entering the final year of his four-year contract, it became clear Marchment was a candidate to be moved in the offseason. The Stars simply needed the cap room and could benefit from recouping draft picks.
The Stars now have six picks in the 2025 NHL draft, including one third-rounder, one fourth-rounder, two fifth-rounders, a sixth-rounder and a seventh-rounder.
The 2025 fourth-round pick that Dallas acquired for Marchment was originally its pick, but it traded it away to the New York Rangers for defenseman Nils Lundkvist in 2022.
