Kraken's Gustav Olofsson: Signs one-year deal
Olofsson inked a one-year, two-way contract with Seattle on Wednesday.

With the Rocket, the 26-year-old Swede tallied one goal and 11 helpers in 24 appearances. The 2013 second-round pick figures to remain a fringe roster player for the Kraken as well and is unlikely to offer much in the way of a fantasy impact.
