Kraken Flip Switch on Kartye's NHL Run

Seattle drops Tye Kartye on waivers Thursday, clearing space as Berkly Catton and Ben Meyers return from IR. The 24-year-old winger, who flashed power-forward promise with 98 hits in 40 games this season, has seen his ice time vanish lately, suiting up in just six of the Kraken's last 21. Front offices eye the wire for a claim on his $1.25MM deal, but if he clears, a stint in Coachella Valley looms with real stakes for his NHL future.
