LOS ANGELES (June 27, 2025) — Today with the eighth overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, the Seattle Kraken selected forward Jake O’Brien from the Brantford Bulldogs of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL).

The Seattle Kraken once again picked a center in the first round, selecting Jake O'Brien from the OHL's Brantford Bulldogs at No. 8 overall in the NHL Draft.

The Kraken again draft at No. 8 in the NHL draft, and they'd love to find a another prospect like Berkly Catton, taken at No. 8 last year, who might make the big club.
