The Avalanche have signed Gabriel Landeskog to an eight-year contract extension worth $56.0 million ($7.0M AAV).
The Avalanche waited until the final moments to sign Landeskog to a max eight-year contract worth $7.0M AAV. Landeskog will turn 29 this year, so he will be 36-years-old when the deal wraps up. Landeskog has been outstanding during the two shortened campaigns, scoring at a 31-goal and 42-assist (73 points) per 82 game pace.
The Jets have signed Eric Comrie to a one-year contract extension.

The Predators have signed Ben Harpur to a one-year, $800k contract extension.
Harpur has been around the NHL for a number of seasons, picking up seven assists in 34 games in his first season with the Predators. Harpur will likely be a reserve defenseman again in 2021-22 and is capable of stepping in when injuries occur.
The Predators have signed Jeremy Davies to a one-year, two-way contract extension.
Davies had nine assists in nine AHL games before being promoted to the Predators in 2021. He picked up just one assist in his first 16 career NHL games and should be a fringe NHL blueliner for the Predators in 2021-22.
Signing
The Wild have signed Kyle Rau to a one-year, two-way contract extension.
Rau has been an AHL regular with a little NHL experience in recent years. The 28-year-old has picked up just four assists in 23 NHL games with the Wild over the last three seasons. At the AHL level, Rau had 14 goals and 29 assists (43 points) in 51 games with Iowa.
The Wild have signed Dakota Mermis to a two-year, two-way contract extension.
Mermis has been primarily an AHL defenseman in recent years, picking up six goals and 37 assists (43 points) in 115 AHL games in 2019 and 2020 combined. In 2021, the 27-year-old failed to record a point in three games with the Wild.
The Canadiens have signed Joel Armia to a four-year, $13.4 million contract extension.
Armia has become a versatile part of the Canadiens' middle-6 in recent years and signs a nice $3.35M AAV extension the day before free agency. Armia's offence fell off a bit in 2021 but has averaged 19 goals and 16 assists (35 points) per 82-games in his three years in Montreal.
Laine has accepted his qualifying offer, signing a one-year deal worth $7.5M.
Things did not go well for Laine after he was traded to the Blue Jackets, scoring 10 goals with 11 assists (21 points) in 45 games--18-goal, 20-assist per 82 game pace. However, Laine should benefit from the Blue Jackets and John Tortorella parting ways and the one-year deal gives him an opportunity to have a bounce-back season and cash in next year.
