I was over on TSN.ca where I spotted a list of the signings over the past few days. I’ve been away mostly, covering live events for another site, so I haven’t been updating the free agent dealings as much as I would like. Here are the most up-to-date lists:

Nashville Predators sign UFA forward […]
It’s Canada Day and Free Agency day!!! There’s been a lot of great transactions. Here’s a list (updated as I get news):
Boston Bruins sign forward Michael Ryder (3 yr, $12 million)
New York Rangers re-signed goaltender Steve Valiquette (undisclosed)
New York Islanders sign defenceman Mark Streit (5 yr, $20.5 million)
Minnesota sign forward Craig Weller (2 yr, […]
The New Jersey Devils have offered Finnish defenceman Anssi Salmela a deal. While the details are not yet known, it does sound like a good deal since the 23-year-old free-agent had 16 goals and 16 assists in 56 games with Tappara of the Finnish League last season.
Salmela could sound familiar if you watched the […]
Veteran NHL goaltender Curtis Joseph was among the 22 players named Monday to Canada’s roster for the Spengler Cup tournament in Davos, Switzerland. The unsigned, free agent, who had played in the NHL for over 17 seasons helped lead Team Canada to a gold medal during the 2002 Olympic games.
"We are extremely pleased to have […]
So the going rate for a second-line centre in the NHL these days is apparently $4-million based on the six-year, $24-million deal that Buffalo recently gave Derek Roy.
The Sabres have now committed about $75-million to two players - Roy and Thomas Vanek - after losing Chris Drury and Daniel Briere to free-agency earlier this […]
If you’re the Ottawa Senators, what do you do with one of your young stars, Danny Heatley, who will be an unrestricted free-agent after this year?
Do you try to sign him now - knowing that you’ve also got another UFA, Wade Redden, as well as Jason Spezza becoming a restricted free-agent.
Tough choices for Senators GM […]
Now that all the big-name free agents have been snapped up for multi-year, mega-million deals, who’s still left out there?
CBS Sportsline offers some of the better-known names, including the oft-injured Eric Lindros, Teemu Selanne, who has not made it clear whether he’s coming for another season; Danny Markov, Alexei Yashin, who was just bought […]
With most of the major free-agents now finding new homes, the thing that sticks out other than the money being thrown around is the long-term deals many players received. A five-year deal used to be a rarity, now it’s pretty much the free-agent deafult given that six, seven and eight year deals are part of […]
The New York Rangers, who are clearly doing a wonderful job managing the salary-cap, have signed Brendan Shanahan to a one-year contract.
The deal starts with a $2.5-million base - not bad for a 38-year-old who didn’t want to play anywhere else other than New York - with another $2.8-million on the table in performance-related bonuses, […]
If being the NHL’s highest scorer and most valuable player in 2006/2007 wasn’t enough, Sidney Crosby has become a very rich young man after signing a five-year, $45-million deal.
It’s an interesting, but necessary, move for a lot of different reasons.
1. By giving Crosby $9-million a year, the Penguins make their resident superstar happy by […]
