Boeser is coming off of his fourth 20-plus goal season and has at least 45 points in five straight seasons. His biggest issue has been health, missing 15 percent of the games since 2018.

Rathbone led all Abbotsford (AHL) defensemen with 40 points (10G / 30A) in 2022. He spent some time with the Canucks, failing to register a point in nine games. Rathbone will be in the mix to be a full-time NHL defenseman in 2022-23.

Olofsson signed with the Kraken last August, spending the entire season in the AHL. He had nine points (2G / 7A) in 41 games with Charlotte (AHL). Signing a two-way deal suggests he'll start 2022-23 in the AHL again.

Dunne signed a two-year, entry-level contract in March 2021 and appeared in six NHL games with the Blue Jackets in 2022. His two-way contract suggests he'll be a fringe roster player for the Blue Jackets again in 2022-23.

The Lightning acquired Paul from the Senators at the trade deadline and made an instant impact in Tampa. He had 23 points (10G / 13A) in 44 regular season and playoff games combined. The Lightning clearly liked what they had in Paul, making a seven-year commitment to him with a $3.15M AAV cap-hit.
The Stars have signed Scott Wedgewood to a two-year contract extension.
Wedgwood was a revelation for the Stars in 2022, going 3-1-3 with a .913 SV% in eight games after being acquired from the Coyotes. Braden Holtby is a UFA, Ben Bishop, who is not expected to play again, was traded to Buffalo and Anton Khudobin is out until at least September, so Wedgewood enters 2022-23 as the Stars' No.2 behind Jake Oettinger.

The Kings acquired Fiala from the Wild on Wednesday and signed him to a massive seven-year extension, which represents a $2.775M AAV raise for the Swiss winger.

The Sabres have signed Craig Anderson to a one-year, $1.5 million contract extension.
Anderson, who recently turned 41-years-old, went 17-12-2 with a 3.12 GAA and .897 SV% in 31 games with the Sabres in 2022. Signing a one-year deal gives the Sabres a reliable veteran netminder that can mentor Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in the 2022-23 season.

Raddysh was an undrafted free agent that was traded to Tampa in 2019, re-signed with them in 2021 and earned another two-year deal after posting 25 points (7G / 18A) in 61 games with Syracuse (AHL). He made his NHL debut in 2022, failing to record a point in four NHL games.
