The Seattle Kraken signed defenseman Brandon Montour to a seven-year contract with a $7.14-million cap hit, the team announced Monday.

Montour, 30, recorded eight goals and 33 points in 66 games with the Florida Panthers last season. He added three markers and 11 points in 24 playoff contests en route to a Stanley Cup triumph.

Only Gustav Forsling played more than Montour's 22:40 per game in the postseason for the Panthers.

Montour exploded offensively in 2022-23 with 16 goals and 73 points in 80 games. He also had 107 penalty minutes and played over 24 minutes per contest that season.

The right-shot rearguard suited up for the Anaheim Ducks and Buffalo Sabres before emerging as a top-of-the-lineup defenseman with the Panthers.

Montour carried a $3.5-million cap hit last season.

The Kraken have $16 million in cap space, according to CapFriendly.
