The Toronto Maple Leafs signed forward Kale Jarnkrok to a four-year contract worth an average annual value of $2.1 million.
The 30-year-old had 12 goals and 30 points in 66 games last season between the Seattle Kraken and Calgary Flames.
Selected in the second round (51st overall) by the Detroit Red Wings in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, Jarnkrok never suited up for Detroit as he was traded to the Nashville Predators in March 2014. He spent eight seasons with the Predators, until he was claimed by Kraken at the 2021 expansion project. Internationally, he won gold and bronze medals at world championships while representing Sweden.
He is coming off a six-year, $12 million contract with an average annual value of $2 million.
The Gavle, Sweden product has 106 goals and 241 points in 574 career NHL games.
More to come.
