Free Agency is Upon Us

Here are the signings to this point:
  • Mike Green signs in Washington to the tune of 4 years at $5.25 million. Thats a lot of money to be offering a sophomore defenseman but Green did lead all league D-men in goals las season with 18.
  • The Devils signed Bryce Salvador, David Clarkson, Barry Tallackson and Jay Pandolfo. Who cares, its the Devils
  • Brad Stuart resigned with the Redwings for 4 years at $3.75 million. Its hard to argue with resigning cogs to one of the most well oiled machines in the NHL.
  • Corey Perry, as expeced, resigned with the Ducks for 5 years at a $5.325 million cap hit.
  • The Edmonton Oilers traded Defenseman Joni Pitkanen to Carolina for Erik Cole. Terrible for Carolina if you ask me but I dont know much about Pitkanen other than I like saying his name out loud. The Oilers also traded forward Raffi Torres to Columbus for Gilbert Brule.
  • The Penguins managed to keep at least one piece of the Hossa trade making it at least not a total failure. Pascal Dupuis signed for 3 years at $1.4 million a year.
  • The Flames picked up Rene Bourque from Chicago for a second round draft choice. The Hawks are making cap space for Brian Campbell.
  • More to come
