Michael Carcone has signed with the Utah Mammoth to a one-year, $775K deal. Seems like Carcone has a lot of faith in his goalies.

The Montreal Canadiens have signed Joe Veleno to a one-year, $900K deal. Veleno could be a solid defensive 4th line forward for Montreal.

Philip Broberg is not on the NHL's list with TOP10 defensemen in the NHL who have yet to reach their 25th birthday. However, a players like Bichsel, Nikishin, Edvinsson are on it. Well, that's something. Faber at No. 2 is also funny by the way.

Yegor Chinakhov from the Columbus Blue Jackets has requested for a trade, citing misunderstandings with Dean Evason, the head coach of the Blue Jackets.

$10M cap hit in the 2026-27 season will be like $8.46M cap hit in the 2024-25 season. $10M cap hit in the 2027-28 season will be like $7.75M cap hit in the 2024-25 season. Yes, a lot of people will have to learn to count money with higher upper limits.

Lukáš Dostál has re-signed with the Anaheim Ducks to a five-year deal with an AAV of $6.5M. That's a very, very good contract for Anaheim in my opinion.

Sorry, I forgot he was diagnosed with testicular cancer right before training camp. And I'm so happy he's healthy, of course! A healthy is the most important thing in our lives. And I still think that teams shouldn't give long-term deals to bottom-six players.

The Winnipeg Jets have re-signed Gabriel Vilardi to a six-year contract with an AAV of $7.5M. That's a fair deal for both sides in my opinion. Vilardi is a good TOP6 forward.

If Mason McTavish from the Anaheim Ducks is truly available, every team should try to acquire him of course. Still only 22 years old & already a TOP6 offensive forward. However, I don't see why Anaheim would trade McTavish.

The Seattle Kraken have re-signed Kaapo Kakko to a three-year deal with an AAV of $4.525M. A fair contract for both sides. Kakko still has a potential to be a solid TOP6 winger.

Finally at home. Jackson Blake has re-signed with the Carolina Hurricanes to an eight-year extension with an AAV of $5.117M. Blake was pretty good last year at both ends of the ice. However, he played in a bit sheltered minutes. This deal should age very well for Carolina though.

The New York Islanders have re-signed Maxim Tsyplakov to a two-year deal with an AAV of $2.25M. That's a pretty fair deal for both sides in my opinion. Tsyplakov was good in the last season in the 2nd line role.

Arvid Söderblom has signed a two-year extension with the Chicago Blackhawks carrying a $2.75M AAV. Good contract for Söderblom.

The Buffalo Sabres have signed Conor Timmins to a two-year contract with an AAV of $2.2M. That's solid deal for both sides. Timmins is an analytics darling.

Even $6Mx6 would be a steal for Winnipeg, wow. What are they doing there?

Jayden Struble has re-signed with the Montreal Canadiens to a two-year deal with an AAV of $1.4125M. That's a pretty fair contract for both sides. Struble was good at both ends of the ice in the last season in sheltered minutes.

The Winnipeg Jets have re-signed Dylan Samberg to a three-year deal with an AAV of $5.75M. The cap hit is great for Winnipeg. The term for Samberg, who is a legit 1st pairing defenseman.
