  • Kraken's Gustav Olofsson: Inks two-year deal

    Olofsson signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Kraken on Tuesday.

    Olofsson was set to become an unrestricted free agent Saturday. He spent the bulk of 2022-23 with AHL Coachella Valley, though he played in just 20 games and picked up six points in the regular season. Olofsson also had five points in 26 playoff contests as the Firebirds made it to the Calder Cup Finals. He'll likely again serve as defensive depth for the Kraken organization.

    Olofsson is no longer listed on the Kraken's roster, indicating he's been sent down to AHL Coachella Valley on Saturday, Scott Malone of Root Sports reports.

  • Kraken's Gustav Olofsson: Jumps back to NHL

    Olofsson was called up from AHL Coachella on Monday, Alison Lukan of Root Sports reports.

    Olofsson's promotion comes as the team remains without Jamie Oleksiak (suspension) for the next two games. Even with Olofsson's joining the roster, he will likely serve as an emergency depth option and figures to watch from the press box as a healthy scratch.

  • Kraken's Gustav Olofsson: Placed on waivers

    Olofsson was waived by the Kraken on Saturday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

    The 26-year-old is a veteran of 59 NHL games across parts of four seasons. Olofsson should serve as organizational defensive depth for the Kraken if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

  • Kraken's Gustav Olofsson: Signs one-year deal

    Olofsson inked a one-year, two-way contract with Seattle on Wednesday.

    Olofsson failed to crack the Canadiens roster last season, instead spending the entire year down in the minors with AHL Laval. 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.

  • Canadiens' Gustav Olofsson: Exposed to waivers

    The Canadiens placed Olofsson on waivers Sunday, Matt Cudzinowski of the Canadiens' official site reports.

    Olofsson now becomes a candidate for Montreal's taxi squad if he goes unclaimed. The 26-year-old blueliner, who appeared in three games for the Canadiens last season, had one goal and 15 assists while finishing at plus-7 over 57 games for AHL Laval in 2019-20.

  • Canadiens' Gustav Olofsson: Returns to practice

    Olofsson (undisclosed) is on the ice for Saturday's practice, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Olofsson missed the Canadiens' last two practices with an undisclosed issue. The 26-year-old blueliner only appeared in three games with the big club last campaign, so he'll likely either end up on Montreal's taxi squad or in the minors to start the 2020-21 season.

  • Canadiens' Gustav Olofsson: Won't practice Thursday

    Olofsson (undisclosed) has been deemed unfit to participate in Thursday's practice, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Olofsson only appeared in three games with the Canadiens last season and is nothing more than organizational depth at this stage in his career, so there's no reason for fantasy managers to monitor his status.

  • Canadiens' Gustav Olofsson: On camp roster

    Olofsson will take part in Phase 3 training camp with the Habs.

    Olofsson spent the bulk of the season with AHL Laval, for which he notched one goal and 15 helpers in 57 appearances. Selected by Montreal in the second round of the 2013 NHL Draft, the 25-year-old Swede should be in the mix for a roster spot heading into the 2020-21 campaign but may need to continue logging time in the minors.
