The Oilers have signed Jack Campbell to a five-year contract worth $25.0 million deal ($5.0M AAV).

Campbell played a career-high 49 games (47 starts), going 31-9-6 with a 2.64 GAA and .914 SV% with the Maple Leafs. With Mike Smith likely headed to LTIR, Campbell should serve as the Oilers No.1 netminder and Stuart Skinner will be his backup.

The Sabres have signed Victor Olofsson to a two-year contract extension worth $9.5 million ($4.75M AAV).

In his first three NHL seasons, Olofsson has averaged 24 goals and 32 assists (56 points) per 82 games. Olofsson finished the 2021-22 season on a heater, scoring 13 goals with 12 assists (25 points) in his final 28 games.

The Avalanche have signed Darren Helm to a one-year contract extension worth $1.25 million.

Helm played a key role for the Avalanche during their run to the Stanley Cup, often matching up against the opposition's top lines. He finished the season with seven goals and eight assists (15 points) in 68 games and will play a similar bottom-6 role for the Avalanche in 2022-23.

The Canadiens have signed Nate Schnarr to a one-year, two-way contract.

Montreal acquired Schnarr from the Devils in March and he had 10 points (4G / 6A) in 20 games after joining the Laval Rocket (AHL). The former third-round pick (2017) has yet to make an NHL appearance and finished 2022 with 36 points (17G / 19A) in 63 AHL games.

The Oilers re-signed Evander Kane to a four-year deal worth $20.5 million ($5.125M AAV).

After some off-the-ice issues ended his tenure in San Jose, Kane landed with the Oilers in the middle of the 2022 season and he flourished. The 30-year-old power forward scored 22 goals with 17 assists (39 points) in 43 games and was over a point-per-game during their postseason run, scoring 13 goals with four assists (17 points) in 15 games. Kane played 62.8 percent of his regular-season 5v5 ice-time with Connor McDavid, foreshadowing what his usage may be like next season. He was on pace for 42 goals and 32 assists this season, suggesting he could be one of the best fantasy hockey wingers available in 2022-23.

The Penguins have re-signed Evgeni Malkin to a four-year deal worth $24.4 million ($6.1M AAV).

Malkin has spent his entire 16-year career in Pittsburgh, totalling 1146 points (444G / 702A) in 981 games. At 36 years old, Malkin is still one of the NHL's best points-per-game players but injuries remain a huge issue for the Russian centre. In the last three seasons, Malkin has missed a combined 78 games (37.7% of the games) but was 17th in the NHL in points-per-game (1.12) over that span.
