Kraken Lock in Avon, Roed with One-Year Extensions

Seattle is making some early moves to solidify its roster depth, inking both Avon and Roed to one-year deals that keep them in the fold heading into next season. These extensions signal the Kraken's confidence in both players as complementary pieces in their lineup construction. With the offseason still in its infancy, general manager Ron Francis is clearly thinking about continuity and avoiding potential arbitration hearings down the road.
