Kraken add 15-year NHL veteran to hockey operations staff
The Seattle Kraken are bringing in a freshly retired face, who spent parts of fifteen seasons in the NHL, to their hockey operations department.
On Thursday, the Kraken announced that Frans Nielsen is joining the hockey operations staff as a player development consultant.
Nielsen, 38, announced his retirement from professional hockey back in the spring following parts of fifteen years in the NHL, as well as several seasons in Sweden and he capped off his career playing one year in Germany with Berlin.
In 925 career games in the NHL with the New York Islanders and Detroit Red Wings, the Herning native had 473 points (167 goals, 306 assists) and 166 penalty minutes. He added ten points in 24 playoff games.
In one of the final events of his career, Nielsen was able to represent his nation, Denmark, in their first-ever appearance at the Winter Olympics. He had two goals and an assist in five games, as the Danes made it to the quarter-finals, but lost to the Russian Olympic Committee.
Welcome to the crew! 🦑
