NHL Free Agent Signings From July 3, 2008
The free agency frenzy is continuing as teams snatch up players in hopes of improving their rosters for the upcoming NHL season (just three months left! LOL).
Among yesterday’s deals was the signing of Markus Naslund by the New York Rangers. Naslund has been a key player for the Vancouver Canucks who, I personally feel, is a team that is lacking in many areas but I’ll save that blabbering for another day.
Here’s the list of transactions from yesterday:
- Phoenix Coyotes sign RFA forward Brian McGrattan to a one-year contract.
- Phoenix Coyotes sign RFA defenceman Matt Jones to a two-year contract.
- St. Louis Blues re-sign forward Yan Stastny to a two-year contract.
- Minnesota Wild sign UFA forward Antti Miettinen to a three-year contract.
- San Jose Sharks sign UFA defenceman Rob Blake to a one-year, $5 million contract.
- New York Rangers sign UFA forward Markus Naslund to a two-year, $8 million contract and UFA defenceman Dmitri Kalinin to a one-year contract.
- Colorado Avalanche sign UFA defenceman Daniel Tjarnqvist to a one-year contract.
- Montreal Canadiens sign UFA forward Georges Laraque to a three-year, $4.5 million contract.
- Phoenix Coyotes sign UFA defencemen David Hale (2-year, $1.4-million).
- Pittsburgh Penguins sign UFA forward Ruslan Fedotenko (1-year, $2.5 million).
