The Penguins have acquired Connor Clifton and a 2025 2nd Round Pick (No.39 overall) from the Sabres for Conor Timmins and Isaac Belliveau.
The Senators have acquired Jordan Spence from the Kings for a 2025 3rd round pick (No.67 overall) and a 2026 6th Round Pick.
The Jets have signed Haydn Fleury to a two-year contract extension worth $950K AAV ($1.9M total).
The Flames have signed Kevin Bahl to a six-year extension worth $5.35M AAV ($32.1M total).
The Capitals have signed Justin Sourdif to a two-year deal worth $825K AAV ($1.65M total).
The Capitals acquired Sourdif's RFA rights a couple of days ago and wasted no time inking him to a two-year deal. The 23-year-old winger spent most of the 2024-25 season in the AHL, where he had 34 points (16G / 18A) in 43 games, but he could be a candidate to join the Capitals' fourth line in 2025-26.
Florida has signed Sam Bennett to an eight-year, $64 million contract extension ($8 million AAV).
One of the biggest expected off-season free agents will not be hitting the open market after Florida announced Friday that they have signed Sam Bennett to an eight-year, $64 million contract extension ($8 million AAV). The 29-year-old is coming off an impressive Conn Smythe-winning playoff performance, with 15 goals, 22 points and a +6 plus/minus in 23 games played.
The Sabres have signed Jack Quinn to a two-year extension worth $3.375M AAV ($6.75M total).
The 2020 No.8 overall pick had another decent, but unspectacular season in 2024-25, scoring 15 goals with 24 assists (39 points) in 74 games. He's now averaging 45 points (18G / 27A) per 82 games for his NHL career, so the Sabres signed him to a two-year bridge deal to see if he can unlock any more offence.
The Avalanche have acquired Gavin Brindley, a 2025 3rd Round, and a 2027 2nd Round Pick from the Blue Jackets for Charlie Coyle and Miles Wood.
Brindley was a second-round pick (No.34 overall) in 2023 but had an underwhelming first pro season, scoring just six goals and 11 assists (17 points) in 52 games with Cleveland (AHL). Colorado's pipeline was pretty empty, so adding a player like Brindley while shedding $7.75M AAV was a tidy piece of business.
The Blue Jackets have acquired Miles Wood and Charlie Coyle from the Avalanche for Gavin Brindley, a 2025 3rd Round, and a 2027 2nd Round Pick.
Wood's contract certainly isn't the best, as he has four more years at $2.5M AAV, but he's a physical bottom-6 winger that will help Columbus replace some of the wingers they let walk in free agency. Most recently, Wood missed 45 games in 2024-25, finishing the season with just four goals and four assists in 37 games.
The Blue Jackets have acquired Charlie Coyle and Miles Wood from the Avalanche for Gavin Brindley, a 2025 3rd Round, and a 2027 2nd Round Pick.
After six and a half years in Boston, Coyle was traded to the Avalanche at the deadline last year, and only scored two goals with 11 assists (13 points) in 19 games. WIth the Avalanche pressed up against the salary cap, a third-line centre making $5.25M was a luxury they could not afford. With Columbus, Coyle will settle in behind Sean Monahan and Adam Fantilli on the depth chart and could make Cole Sillinger expendable in a trade this summer.
The Golden Knights have signed Brandon Saad to a one-year deal worth $2.0 million.
Saad was signed mid-season after being bought out by the Blues and had 14 points (6G / 8A) in 29 games with the Golden Knights. At $2.0M AAV, Saad is a cheap middle-6 winger that can still provide some offence, having averaged 40 points (21G / 19A) per 82 games over the last three seasons.
The Islanders have acquired Emil Heineman, a 2025 first-round pick (No.16 overall) and a 2025 first-round pick (No.17 overall from the Canadiens for Noah Dobson.
Heineman is no stranger to being included in big trades, he was traded to Calgary as a part of the Sam Bennett trade, then traded to Montreal as a part of the Tyler Toffoli trade, and now to the Islanders for Noah Dobson. The 6-foot-2, 198 lbs winger was a full-time NHLer in 2024-25, and finished with 18 points (10G / 8A), 64 SOG and 173 hits in 62 games while playing just 11:24 TOI/gm. He'll likely fill a similar bottom-6 role with the Islanders.
The Canadiens have signed Noah Dobson to an eight-year contract extension worth $9.5M AAV ($76.0M total).
Dobson was acquired from the Islanders in a sign-and-trade, so the Canadiens were able to lock him up to an eight-year deal and get a $5.5M AAV raise from his previous contract. Dobson is one of the NHL's best goal-scoring defensemen, having posted double-digit goals in four straight seasons. He ranks 14th among blueliners with 46 goals during that stretch. In Montreal, he'll have to battle with the likes of Lane Hutson for PP1 time, and his most likely path to that usage is if Montreal uses both of them on the same unit.
