The 2021–22 Seattle Kraken season is the inaugural season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise. They play their home games at Climate Pledge Arena. The Kraken played their first game on October 12, 2021, against the Vegas Golden Knights and played their first home game on October 23, 2021, against the Vancouver Canucks.

On October 14, 2021, the Kraken earned their first win in franchise history after defeating the Nashville Predators 4–3.^[1]

The team retired the jersey number 32 on October 23, 2021, immediately before they played their first ever regular season home game, in recognition of the franchise being the 32nd to join the NHL and in honor of the 32,000 fans who placed deposits for tickets on the first possible day.^[2]

Draft picks[]

Expansion draft[]

Seattle filled its roster by selecting players in the 2021 NHL Expansion Draft. The 2021 draft used the same rules as the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft did for the Vegas Golden Knights. The Kraken had to select or sign one player from each existing team except for Vegas. Teams opted to protect some of their players against being drafted.^[97]

Entry draft[]

Before the draft lottery, the Kraken were given the same odds as the team with the third worst point total from 2020–21 season, which meant that they would not draft any lower than fifth overall and would draft third in each subsequent round.^[98] On June 2, 2021, the Kraken received a second overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft during the draft lottery.^[99]

Below are the Seattle Kraken's selections at the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, which was held on July 23 and 24, 2021, virtually via video conference call from the NHL Network studios in Secaucus, New Jersey, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
