The club declined Kallman's 2022 contract option when it made its end-of-season roster moves last month, but then negotiated a new deal that will keep a player who first joined the franchise in 2013 in its NASL days now through 2023.
The signing came on the morning of Tuesday's MLS SuperDraft. The Loons selected forward Tani Oluwaseyi from St. John's in the first round.
It's the only pick they owned after they traded their second-round pick (45th overall) for forward Kei Kamara in 2020 and traded their third-round pick to New York Red Bulls in an April 2021 deal that acquired midfielder Aziel Jackson.
Minnesota started only two strikers against Seattle, leaving Sang Bin Jeong and Joseph Rosales to provide the width behind Teemu Pukki and Kelvin Yeboah.
