The Flames have re-signed Colton Poolman to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Penguins have signed Danton Heinen to a one-year contract.
The Coyotes have acquired Conor Timmins, a 2022 first-round pick and a 2024 conditional third-round pick from the Avalanche for Darcy Kuemper.
The Penguins have signed Filip Lindberg to a two-year, entry-level contract.
The Coyotes have acquired Vladislav Kolyachonok, Anton Stralman and a 2024 second-round pick from the Panthers for a 2023 seventh-round pick.
Kolyachonok was a second-round pick (No.52 overall) in 2019and split his 2021 campaign between the KHL and AHL. He started the year with Minsk (KHL) and collected six points (1G / 5A) in 46 games before returning to Syracuse (AHL). He had two assists in 10 AHL games and will likely report to the Coyotes AHL affiliate to start the 2021-22 season.
The Coyotes have acquired Bokondji Imama and Cole Hults from the Kings from Brayden Burke and Tyler Steenbergen.
Imama was originally a sixth-round pick of the Lightning in 2015 but was traded to the Kings before he turned pro. The 24-year-old winger spent all of 2021 in the AHL, where he had nine goals and five assists (14 points) in 31 games for Ontario (AHL). He'll likely report to Tucson (AHL) to start 2021.
The Red Wings have signed Alex Nedeljkovic to a two-year contract worth $6.0 million ($3.0M AAV).
The Red Wings acquired Nedeljkovic from the Hurricanes and immediately signed him to a two-year contract. Nedeljkovic led the NHL in GAA and SV% in 2020-21 and helps solidify the Red Wings' crease moving forward and gives them a young goalie to build around.
The Red Wings have acquired Alex Nedeljkovic from the Hurricanes for Jonathan Bernier and a third-round pick.
2020-21 was a bizarre season for Nedeljkovic. He started the season on waivers, went unclaimed, and then became the Hurricanes No.1 netminder after Petr Mrazek and James Reimer battled injuries. Nedeljkovic went on to lead the NHL in both GAA (1.90) and SV% (.932) in 23 games. The Hurricanes were concerned about going to arbitration with Nedeljkovic, so the Red Wings took advantage of that with their abundance of cap space.
The Penguins have acquired Filip Hallander and '23 7th round pick from the Maple Leafs for Jared McCann.
Hallander was originally a second-round pick of the Penguins but was traded to the Maple Leafs as a part of the Kasperi Kapanen trade last summer. With the Expansion Draft looming, the Penguins were likely to lose Jared McCann for nothing, so this trade at least brings Hallander back to the organization. The 21-year-old had 13 goals and 11 assists (24 points) in 51 game with Lulea HF (SHL) in 2021.
The Devils have acquired Ryan Graves from the Avalanche for Mikhail Maltsev and a 2nd round pick.
Graves being dealt is a product of the Seattle Expansion Draft and New Jersey lands a solid top-4 defenseman that should fit in well with their emerging young blueline. Graves, who has two years left at $3.17M AAV, had two goals and 13 assists (15 points) in 54 games with the Avalanche in 2021.
The Bruins have signed Joona Koppanen to a one-year, two-way contract extension.
The Kings have signed Blake Lizotte to a one-year contract extension.
The Sharks have signed Matt Nieto to a two-year contract extension.
