The Columbus Blue Jackets have acquired forward Mason Marchment from the Seattle Kraken in exchange for a fourth-round pick (New York Rangers) in the 2026 NHL Draft and a second-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft, club general manager Don Waddell announced early Saturday morning.

In addition, forward Brandon Gaunce has been designated non-roster as he is away from the team due to personal reasons.

Marchment, 30, has registered 80 goals and 122 assists, 503 hits and a cumulative +60 plus/minus rating in 331 career NHL games with Seattle, Dallas, Florida, and Toronto since making his league debut with the Maple Leafs during the 2019-20 season.

In 29 games with the Kraken this season, the 6-5, 212-pound forward has collected 4-9-13, 26 penalty minutes and 38 hits, while averaging 16:57 of ice time.

“Mason is a player I know very well, and I think he will add a great deal to our team,” said Waddell. “He is a physical, hard-nosed competitor with proven offensive ability and we are very excited to have him join the Blue Jackets.”

The Uxbridge, Ontario native signed a free agent contract with Toronto and spent part of the 2019-20 season with the Maple Leafs before a two-year stint with the Panthers from 2020-22.

He spent the next three seasons in Dallas, where he racked up 56-75-131 in 211 games from 2022-25. He recorded back-to-back seasons with 22 goals over the past two campaigns, including a career-high 22-31-53 in 81 games in 2023-24. In 59 career Stanley Cup Playoffs contests, he has tallied 11-8-19.
