Hayden was placed on waivers Monday for the purpose of being reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley.
Hayden notched 13 goals and 11 assists in 67 minor-league appearances for the Firebirds during the 2025-26 regular season. The 31-year-old forward didn't post a point in three NHL outings with Seattle last October.

Hayden was reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Wednesday.
After being called up by the Kraken on Oct. 17, Hayden made three appearances with the NHL club. He was held scoreless with seven hits and two blocked shots, but he didn't appear in any of Seattle's last three games and should have an opportunity to see more consistent time on the ice in the minors.

Hayden was recalled from AHL Coachella Valley on Friday.
Hayden made 20 regular-season appearances for the Kraken last year and recorded a goal, an assist, 44 hits, 31 PIM and 19 blocked shots while averaging 8:31 of ice time. He was sent to the minors ahead of the 2025-26 campaign, but he'll rejoin the NHL club after Frederick Gaudreau was placed on injured reserve Friday.

Hayden was put on waivers Sunday for the purpose of assigning him to AHL Coachella Valley.
Hayden collected one goal, two points, 20 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and 44 hits in 20 regular-season games with Seattle in 2024-25. Assuming he clears waivers, he could see NHL action again this campaign.

Hayden inked a two-year, $1.55 million contract with the Kraken on Wednesday, per Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle.
Hayden had the opportunity to test the UFA market after completing his one-year, $775,000 deal, but he's opted to stay with Seattle. The 30-year-old had a goal, two points, 31 PIM and 44 hits across 20 outings with the Kraken in 2024-25. His new contract is a one-way agreement, so it wouldn't be surprising if Hayden starts 2025-26 with the NHL squad, though his spot isn't guaranteed, and he would probably spend a fair amount of time as a healthy scratch with the Kraken.

Hayden was loaned to AHL Coachella Valley on Thursday.
Hayden passed through waivers Saturday after he was placed there Friday. The 30-year-old ends the NHL season with one goal, one assist and 31 PIM over 20 games.
