The Devils have signed Dougie Hamilton to a seven-year contract worth $63 million ($9.0M AAV).
New Jersey Devils News
The Bruins have signed Erik Haula to a two-year deal worth $4.75 million ($2.375M AAV).
The Devils have signed Jonathan Bernier to a two-year deal worth $8.25 million ($4.125M AAV).
The Avalanche have acquired Kurtis MacDermid from the Kraken for a 2023 fourth-round pick.
MacDermid had two goals, two assists, 46 hits and 35 blocked shots in 28 games with the Kings. MacDermid was selected by Seattle in the Expansion Draft but will go to Colorado for the 2021-22 season. Given the Avalanche's depth on defence, MacDermid will likely serve as a reserve.
The Jets have acquired Brenden Dillon from the Capitals for a 2022 second-round pick and a 2023 second-round pick.
Dillon, who is 30-years-old, has three years left on a contract that carries a $3.9M AAV cap-hit. Dillon is a huge (6-foot-4, 225 lbs.) defenseman who brings a rugged style to the Jets' blueline that they were missing in 2020-21. Dillon ranked eighth among defensemen in hits (143) but is also capable of chipping in offensively, averaging three goals and 19 assists (22 points) per 82 games over the last four seasons. He'll likely eat up the minutes left by Derek Forbort (17:57 TOI/gm).
The Hurricanes have acquired Jonathan Bernier and a third-round pick from the Red Wings for Alex Nedeljkovic.
Bernier enjoyed a solid 2020-21 campaign, going 9-11-1 with a 2.99 GAA and .914 SV%. Those numbers aren't eye-popping but they were the best of his three-year tenure in Detroit. He is pending UFA, so could hit the open market on July 28th but the Hurricanes will have a few days to try and sign him to a team-friendly deal.
The Predators have acquired Cody Glass from the Golden Knights for Nolan Patrick.
Glass was the No.6 overall pick in the 2017 NHL draft but has had a difficult time landing a full-time role with the Golden Knights. The 22-year-old centre had 10 points (4G / 6A) in 27 games in the most recent NHL season and added 10 points (4G / 6A) in 14 AHL games. Glass gets flipped to Nashville for Nolan Patrick, who was acquired from the Flyers as a part of a trade for Ryan Ellis and was selected No.2 overall in the same draft as Glass.
The Devils have signed Colton White to a one-year, two-way contract extension.
White was selected in the fourth-round (No. 97 overall) in 2015 but has appeared in just 11 NHL games since, including two in 2021. White spent most of the season with Binghamton (AHL), where he had one goal and six assists. Look for him to start the 2021-22 season in the AHL once again.
The Devils have signed Jonas Siegenthaler to a two-year, $2.25 million contract extension.
The Devils have signed Nathan Bastian to a two-year contract extension.

Dumoulin is on the ice for warmups; expected to play in Game 2 vs. the Islanders.
Dumoulin (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Game 2.
Dumoulin was nicked up in Game 1 and missed Monday's practice for "maintenance." It seems whatever was ailing Dumoulin is still lingering, leaving his status for Game 2 up in the air.
