The Seattle Kraken and defenseman Vince Dunn agreed to a two-year contract carrying a $4-million cap hit.

Dunn was a restricted free agent who had an arbitration hearing scheduled for next Saturday. The Kraken selected him from the St. Louis Blues in last month's expansion draft.

The Ontario-born blue-liner produced six goals and 14 assists while averaging a career-high 19:15 of ice time over 43 games with the Blues in 2021. St. Louis reportedly shopped Dunn in January before exposing him to Seattle.

He played his first four campaigns with the Blues, helping them win the Stanley Cup in 2018-19 after racking up a personal-best 12 goals during the regular season.

Dunn will turn 25 on Oct. 29. St. Louis drafted him 56th overall in 2015.
