Selected by Columbus in the third round (No. 89) of the 2013 NHL Draft, Bjorkstrand has 375 points (167 goals, 208 assists) in 606 regular-season games for the Kraken and Blue Jackets and 20 points (10 goals, 10 assists) in 45 Stanley Cup Playoff games.

While the Kraken's deadline trades permanently separate Eeli Tolvanen from his former linemates, they could also benefit John Hayden and Tye Kartye.

What could be a busy week of NHL trade deadline activity for the Seattle Kraken started with a bang on Wednesday.

Seattle Kraken general manager Ron Francis believes a trio of trades made ahead of Friday's NHL trade deadline helps position the team to make significant improvements this offseason.
