Mason Appleton has found a new home by way of the NHL’s expansion draft. After spending two seasons with Michigan State hockey and a few seasons with the Winnipeg Jets, Mason Appleton will be heading to Seattle to join the Kraken.
Appleton was drafted in the sixth round of the 2015 NHL Entry draft by the Jets, where he accumulated 43 career points for Winnipeg. He became a valuable member of the team as a bottom-six forward this past season during the Jets playoff run, where he had 3 points and 13 shots on goal.
