The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed Calle Jarnkrok to a four-year contract

The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed forward Kale Jarnkrok to a four-year, $8.4 million contract, the team announced Friday.

Jarnkrok finished the 2021-22 season with the Calgary Flames after starting the season with the debuting Seattle Kraken. He was traded to Calgary in March for the return of three draft picks, including a 2022 second-rounder.

The 30-year-old had 12 goals and 16 assists in a combined 66 regular-season games for both teams before recording one goal and three assists in the playoffs as the Flames were eliminated in the second round by the Edmonton Oilers.

Jarnkrok made his NHL debut in 2013-14 with the Nashville Predators, remaining with the team until he was selected in last year’s expansion draft by the Kraken.
