The Jets have re-signed Johnathan Kovacevic to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Blackhawks have re-signed Mike Hardman to a two-year contract.
The Devils have signed Tomas Tatar to a two-year contract worth $9.0 million ($4.5M AAV).
The Hurricanes have signed Stefan Noesen to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Panthers have re-signed Juho Lammikko to a one-year contract.
The Devils have signed Dougie Hamilton to a seven-year contract worth $63 million ($9.0M AAV).
The Stars have signed Luke Glendening to a two-year contract worth $3.0 million ($1.5M AAV).
The Golden Knights have acquired Evgenii Dadonov from the Senators for Nick Holden and a 2022 third-round pick.
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 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.
Tatar is not on the ice for warmups; will not play in Game 6.
