June 28, 2025 - With the 68th overall pick in the third round of the 2025 NHL Draft, the Seattle Kraken have selected defenseman Will Reynolds from the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League.
Reynolds, 17, is a 6’3”, 187-pound shutdown specialist from Nasonworth, New Brunswick. Known for his hard-hitting, shot-blocking style, he thrives in the defensive zone with a game built around physicality and strong positional awareness. He’s particularly effective at closing gaps during rushes, timing his pinches well to disrupt breakouts.
Despite varied rankings—from as high as 63rd by NHL Central Scouting among North American skaters to 174th by Draft Prospects Hockey—Reynolds' pro-ready defensive tools earned him a spot with Seattle. The Kraken add a dependable, tough presence to their blue line pipeline.
