The Kraken have agreed to terms with defenseman Cale Fleury on a one-year, two-way contract for $750,000.

Fleury, 23, spent the majority of last season with the Charlotte Checkers of the American Hockey League and had 33 points (seven goals, 26 assists) in 58 regular-season games. He appeared in nine games for the Kraken last season.

Fleury has one goal in 50 NHL games with the Kraken and Montreal Canadiens.

“Cale took another step in his development last year, specifically with his offensive game while playing for Charlotte,” Kraken general manager Ron Francis said. “We are excited that we have reached an agreement for Cale to return to the Kraken organization.”
