    PWHL Seattle's forward lineup reads like a who's who of offensive talent in the PWHL. There is no team in the PWHL who will have the offensive depth or top end firepower that Seattle has heading into the 2025-26 PWHL season.

    It started in the exclusive signing window as the team brought in Danielle Serdachny, Hilary Knight, and Alex Carpenter. In the expansion draft itself the team doubled down selecting Hannah Bilka, Jessie Eldridge and Julia Gosling. 

    Five of their top six are current members of Canada and USA's senior national teams, while Eldridge is a past member of Team Canada and finished 7th in the PWHL in scoring this season.

    In fact, no team in the PWHL will enter the 2025-26 season with three members of the top 15 in PWHL scoring from last season aside from Seattle, who enter with Knight, Eldridge, and Carpenter. When looking at points per game, Bilka finished 15th but missed the top 15 overall due to her injury.

    On the back end, Seattle has the talent to jumpstart that offense with Cayla Barnes, Anna Wilgren, Megan Carter, Aneta Tejralova, and Emily Brown.

    Seattle Raids The 2024 PWHL Draft Class

    Seattle also raided the 2024 PWHL Draft class. 

    Seattle signed 2nd overall pick Danielle Serdachny, 4th overall pick Hannah Bilka, signed 5th overall pick Cayla Barnes, selected 6th overall pick Julia Gosling, and selected 12th overall pick Megan Carter. It's the equivalent of four first round picks and a second round pick from last season.
