Wild Acquire Former First-Rounder Oskar Olausson From Sharks for Kyle Masters

Minnesota makes a low‑risk minors move to evaluate a 2021 first‑round pick on an expiring entry‑level contract.

Overview

  • Both players will report to their new minor‑league affiliates rather than joining NHL rosters.
  • Olausson, drafted 28th overall in 2021, has four NHL games without a point and logged 26 AHL points last season after three straight 11‑goal campaigns.
  • He was traded from Colorado to San Jose in late July, was waived and assigned to the Barracuda out of camp, and did not play a game for the organization.
  • Olausson is in the final year of his entry‑level deal with an $863,333 cap hit.
  • Masters has yet to appear in the NHL after time with AHL Iowa and ECHL Iowa, and he is expected to report to San Jose’s ECHL affiliate in Wichita.
