The NHL offseason has brought plenty of shakeups, but few were as emotional as Mason Marchment's trade from the Dallas Stars to the Seattle Kraken earlier this week.

In a carousel of Instagram photos, Alexis shared personal highlights from their time in Dallas, including behind-the-scenes moments with fellow Stars families, locker room celebrations, Halloween memories, and playoffs traditions.
Her caption was short but heartfelt:
'Thanks for the mems, Dallas.'

The 6-foot-4 forward had one year remaining on his contract with a $4.5 million cap hit when the trade was finalized.
In exchange for Marchment, the Dallas Stars received a fourth-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft and a third-round pick in 2026, a move that helps clear cap space while giving Seattle some added firepower up front.
Beyond Mason's on-ice performance, what truly resonated in Lexy's post was the tight-knit bond among the Stars' player families.
One standout image showed Alexis posing alongside other partners in matching playoff jackets, a visual nod to the deep team culture in Dallas.
What's next for the Marchments in Seattle?
As the Seattle Kraken prepare for the 2025 NHL season, they'll be welcoming a player who brings energy, experience, and a strong presence in the locker room. For Mason and Alexis Marchment, it's a fresh beginning and a new fanbase to win over.

NHL free agency turns spicy as Mitch Marner and Connor McDavid eye shorter deals to cash in later
Mitch Marner #16 of the Toronto Maple Leafs (Credit: Getty Images) With the free agent frenzy just days away, the buzz isn't just about where players will land, it's about how long they plan to stay. The latest shift in contract strategy has taken center stage. Especially for top talents like Mitch Marner and Connor McDavid, rather than locking into seven- or eight-year deals, these stars are now being advised to explore shorter contracts. The rationale is simple. The NHL salary cap is climbing fast, and locking in now might leave money on the table later. A four-year deal signed today at a $13 million cap hit could position a player like Marner to cash in again at 32. If the cap continues to rise, his next deal could eclipse even that figure. The prospect of lifetime earnings reaching up to $188 million, compared to around $130 million on a long-term deal signed now, is reshaping how superstars approach free agency. Mitch Marner JUST Made a HUGE Announcement & SHOCKS Everyone! Salary cap surge makes NHL free agency unpredictable The NHL's financial landscape is transforming quickly. With the salary cap leaping from $83.5 million to $95 million this summer and projections showing it could reach $113.5 million by 2027, players and agents are recalculating every move. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo In this climate, short-term deals look more attractive, especially to players entering free agency in their late twenties. Connor McDavid's name has naturally entered the conversation. Though not a free agent this year, his future contract decisions will likely be influenced by the same cap dynamics. Signing a three or four-year deal after his current contract ends could potentially allow him to secure an even larger payday when the cap hits its peak. Teams like Dallas and Vegas are monitoring Mitch Marner closely Mitch Marner's potential availability is already shaking up free agency chatter. With his future in Toronto uncertain, contenders like the Vegas Golden Knights, Dallas Stars, and Los Angeles Kings are reportedly among the most interested suitors. This strategic twist in contract thinking has opened up a new layer of intrigue to free agency. With more players following the lead of their agents and watching the cap projections closely, this year's market could be less about term and more about timing.
