| News: Smyth was traded on Friday to the Los Angeles Kings for defensemen Tom Preissing and Kyle Quincey, plus the Kings' fifth-round selection in next year's draft, according to the Denver Post.

| News: Nash agreed to an eight-year, $62.4 million contract extension with the Blue Jackets on Friday, the Columbus Dispatch reports. Spin: "It's a very fair number," according to Blue Jackets GM Scott Howson. "(Nash) made a statement to the team and the city that he's not out for the last dollar. He wanted to have a fair contract that allows us the flexibility to build the team around him." He'll start making $7.5 million in 2010, which will ramp up to $8.2 million for the 2017-18 season, and the deal includes a full no-trade clause for the first five seasons. Fri, July 3 |  |

| News: The Kings have come to an agreement on a four-year contract (reportedly worth $13.6 million) with Scuderi, the team's official site reports. Spin: Scuderi's name isn't prominent in fantasy circles, which is reflected by his 16-point, 18-PIM numbers in 2008-09. What he does offer the Kings is a steady shut-down defender that can help out on the penalty kill. Plus, he has the added credibility of being a key cog in the Penguins' recent Stanley Cup run.

| News: The Heatley deal to the Oilers, though not dead, keeps changing, according to the Edmonton Journal. Spin: First Heatley declined to waive his no trade clause to go to Edmonton, now Ottawa wants more than the original package of Andrew Cogliano, Dustin Penner and Ladislav Smid since the Sens had to pay Heatley a $4 million bonus on Wednesday. Will the Oilers be willing to part with more talent and will Heatley agree to play in Edmonton? Best guess is this will take awhile longer as the Heatley camp will wait to see if another team that wasn't able to sign a high profile star on Wednesday steps up to the plate. Thu, July 2 | |

| News: Gionta signed a five-year, $25 million deal with the Habs on Wednesday, TSN.ca reports. Spin: Montreal has spent cash on Wednesday like it won't be worth anything on Thursday. Gionta joins Michael Cammalleri, Jaroslav Spacek and Hal Gill as part of the new-look Canadiens. It's looking increasingly less likely that Alex Kovalev will have to go elsewhere barring a very significant reduction in pay. Gionta rejoins former teammate Scott Gomez north of the border. Wed, July 1 | |
| News: Gaborik has signed a five-year, $37.5 million deal with the Rangers. Spin: Getting rid of Scott Gomez in a trade with Montreal earlier this week opened up enough room under the gap for a replacement big contract. When healthy, Gaborik is an elite offensive force on the wing, so this deal will ultimately be judged based on the number of games he suits up in for the Blueshirts over next half decade.

| News: Laperriere signed a three-year, $3.5 million deal with the Flyers on Wednesday. Spin: The salary isn't bad, but we're not entirely sure why the Flyers felt compelled to give him three years at age 35. If you're looking for penalty minutes with a little bit of offense for your fantasy squad, Laperriere is your guy. Over the last three seasons, he's averaged 145 penalty minutes and 22 points for Colorado. Wed, July 1 | |

| News: Clemmensen has signed a three-year, $3.6 million deal with Florida, the Miami Herald reports. Spin: He parlayed a nice season with New Jersey into some long-term security with Florida. Tomas Vokoun will be the No. 1 goalie for the Panthers, but Clemmensen may see 25-30 starts depending on injuries and Vokoun's level of play. All in all, it's more playing time than he ever would have received behind a healthy Marty Brodeur in New Jersey. Wed, July 1 | |
| News: Cole signed a two-year deal to return to the Hurricanes on Wednesday, the Raleigh News & Observer reports. Spin: He's expected to receive $2.8 million this season and $3 million in 2010-11. Given how poorly his time in Edmonton went, the decision to stay in Carolina makes a great deal of sense after he picked up 15 points (2 G, 13 A) over 17 regular season games there to close out the 2008-09 campaign. Wed, July 1 | |
| News: Khabibulin signed a four-year, $15 million deal with Edmonton on Wednesday, TSN.ca reports. Spin: The Oilers get a solid veteran option to lock down their goaltending situation, while the Bulin Wall gets another sizable paycheck. Edmonton doesn't have anything close to the talent that Khabibulin had in front of him in Chicago, so don't expect a repeat of his 25-8-7 record (40 starts). If things go well for him with the Oilers, Khabibulin could threaten the 30-win mark provided that he's healthy enough to make 55-60 starts, but that's essentially a best-case scenario for him. Wed, July 1 | |
| News: Spacek has signed a three-year, $11.5 million contract with the Habs. Spin: The contract is a touch on the pricey side, but Spacek is coming off of a nice run in Buffalo. He matched his career high with 45 points (8 G, 37 A) in 80 games last season, while Spacek profiles as a potential second-pairing option for Montreal with an opportunity to occasionally work on the top power-play unit with Andrei Markov.

The Flyers appear to be taking a pretty significant risk with their goaltending situation this season, but at least Boucher fits the bill as a stable veteran fallback option. Wed, July 1 | |

| News: Niedermayer signed a one-year, $6 million deal to return to the Ducks, ESPN.com reports. Spin: Not much surprise here, as it wasn't believed that Niedermayer was going to seriously consider playing elsewhere this season. The Anaheim blue line will have a different look without Chris Pronger this season, so Niedermayer will once again be asked to help carry the mail on the power play after tallying 32 of his 59 points with the man advantage last season. Wed, July 1 | |
| News: Knuble signed a two-year, $5.6 million deal with the Caps on Wednesday, Comcast SportsNet reports. Spin: With the money they're saving following Sergei Fedorov's departure, the Caps strike by signing a gritty, offensively capable veteran.

Spin: It's believed to be worth something in the neighborhood of $62 million, so the salary-cap hit will fall into the $5.2-million range. The Hawks also plucked Tomas Kopecky from the Red Wings on Wednesday afternoon, while significantly bolstering their chances to unseat Detroit atop the Central Division and Western Conference. If Chicago believes that Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane will take Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk long-term deals, the Hawks could be in position to set up a dynasty of their own.

| News: Sedin (along with his twin Daniel) has signed a five-year contact (averaging $6.1 million a season) to stay in Vancouver, TSN.ca reports. Spin: Sedin, who had a career-high 22 goals en route to an 82-point season in 2008-09, was thought to be seeking (along with his brother) a 12-year, $63 million deal, so the Canucks came out of this pretty good, ensuring top line stability for the next five years in the process. Wed, July 1 | |
| News: Sedin (along with his twin Henrik) has signed a five-year contract to stay with the Canucks, averaging $6.1 million a season, TSN.ca reports. Spin: That's a nice chunk of change, but a far cry from the 12-year, $63 million deal the twins were thought to be seeking. Sedin is coming off a campaign in which he led the Canucks in goal scoring with 31 en route to an 82-point effort. The signings, right out the the free agent gate, ensure the team top line stability for the next five years. Wed, July 1 | |

| News: Heatley has refused to waive his no-trade thus crushing a deal that would have seen the sniper head west to Edmonton, reports TSN.ca. Spin: Yikes -- no-one wants to play in Edmonton. The deal could be dead forever but according to the NHL, the Sens apparently have until midnight July 1 to move Heater without having to pay his $4 million bonus due on Wednesday. This new news may make him more interesting to teams who fail to land the big free-agent fish on July 1. Tue, June 30 | |

| News: Gomez, along with minor leaguers Tom Pyatt and Mike Busto, was acquired by the Habs from the Rangers in exchange for Chris Higgins, Ryan McDonagh, Doug Janik and Pavel Valentenko on Tuesday, TSN.ca reports. Spin: The Habs had the cap space to take on an annual hit of $7.35 million, so giving up Higgins for a second-line center was a relative no-brainer.

| News: The Sharks have signed Blake to a one-year, $3.5 million contract, the San Jose Mercury News reports. Spin: Blake is 39 years old, but last season, he manned the blue line like an ageless wonder. At least for another year, the Sharks will enjoy the presence of a smart and experienced veteran, especially on the man advantage. While some fans might opine that $3.5 million is too steep, the Sharks can count on a healthy Blake to log around 70 games with anywhere between 40-50 points in a season. Tue, June 30 | |
