The Seattle Kraken have signed Jamie Oleksiak to a five-year, $23 million contract.

Oleksiak found a comfort zone on a pairing with Miro Heiskanen in Dallas but was selected in the Expansion Draft and signed to a five-year deal with a $4.6M AAV cap-hit. Oleksiak brings a little offence, scoring nine goals with 15 assists (24 points) in 125 games over the last two seasons. However, it's the physicality that the 6-foot-6, 255 lbs. blueliner brings that Kraken fans will love--Oleksiak ranks sixth among defensemen in hits (301) over the last two seasons.

The Stars have acquired Jamie Oleksiak from the Penguins for a 2019 fourth-round draft pick.

The Penguins acquired Oleksiak from the Stars last season for the very same fourth-round pick that the Stars just sent back to them. It was essentially an 83-game loan, where Oleksiak had eight goals and 17 assists (25 points). The move frees up $2.1375M in cap space for the Penguins.
