They do have a slight roster problem in that they only have 12 forward under contract and 7 D (before Evans). Signing him to $4.6M cap hit would mean they have 6 D all making over $4M, which is not really ideal for the cap structure.
It doesn't really matter though because they would still have $2.4M to add a forward for their 23rd roster player. (If they graduate a prospect on an ELC then they'll have plenty of cap space for their full roster)
Considering the ages of the rest of the Kraken D, they really should sign Evans and trade Oleksiak (and Grubauer) to clear enough cap space for a big addition up front on forward. They definitely have enough futures to try and be buyers this season and try to make some noise in the playoffs.

I’m sure they’ll match. But even then, they’ve got to get rid of Oleksiak considering they just signed Lindgren.
