Two days after the NHL season officially ended, the Avalanche made their first offseason move.
Colorado acquired Swedish depth wing Fredrik Olofsson from the Dallas Stars on Thursday, trading future considerations to Dallas for the rights to the pending unrestricted free agent. Olofsson will sign a one-year contract with the Avs after coming off a one-year league minimum deal with the Stars, making a $750,000 salary in 2022-23.
The left-handed shot was Chicago’s fourth-round draft pick (No. 98 overall) in 2014, but he didn’t make his NHL debut until last season. Olofsson, 27, appeared in 28 games for the Stars.
