Former Seattle Kraken forward Karson Kuhlman has signed a one-year contract with SHL team Rögle BK.
The 29-year-old played 39 games with the Kraken, spanning over two seasons. In his time with the Kraken, Kuhlman recorded three goals, eight assists and 11 points.
Kuhlman hasn't played any NHL games in the last two seasons, playing for the Bridgeport Islanders, the New York Islanders' AHL affiliate in 2023-24 and with Lukko in Liiga, Finland's top professional league. In his first season in Finland, the American right winger scored 21 goals and 46 points in 60 games.
Kuhlman is the second former NHL player to sign with Rögle BK in the past few days, joining former Vancouver Canucks, Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Mark Freidman.
“Karson brings a lot of experience, including a season in Europe,” said Rögle sports director Hampus Sjöström. “He is a versatile player who can contribute in all forms of play. He is committed and good at finding pucks around the net.”
Kuhlman won a National Championship with Minnesota Duluth before beginning his NHL career, where he played 147 games, scoring 12 goals and 30 points, splitting his time with the Boston Bruins, Kraken and the Winnipeg Jets.
