Hamilton is a pending restricted free-agent, but the Flames should have no problem getting him under contract. Since being draft 9th overall in 2011, Hamilton has scored 22 goals with 61 assists (83 points) in 178 career NHL games. He enjoyed a breakout season in 2014-15, registering 42 points (10G / 32A) in 72 contests. He joins Mark Giordano, T.J Brodie and Kris Russell to form a very strong top-4 on the Flames back-end.

Legwand, 34, will head into the final year of his contract in 2015-16. He was a salary dump for the Senators, who signed him-to a two-year, $6 million dollar deal last offseason. The veteran centre posted just nine goals and 18 assists (27 points) in 80 games.

Lehner, 23, fell behind Craig Anderson and Andrew Hammond at the end of 2014-15 and with two years left on his deal, the Senators decided to ship him to Buffalo. With the Sabres, Lehner has a shot to be their everyday starter. He was 9-12-3 with a 3.02 GAA and .905 SV% last year and has posted a 2,88 GAA and .914 SV% in 86 career NHL games.

Soderberg, who was set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st, had his rights traded to Colorado on Thursday. The Avalanche did not waste any time by signing the 29-year-old forward to a five-year deal.

McKegg, 23, has not registered a point in four career NHL games with the Maple Leafs. The 2010 third round pick (62nd overall) had 22 goals and 15 assists (37 points) in 62 games with the Toronto Marlies (AHL) last season.

Hyman, 22, is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st, but is expected to get a deal done with the Maple Leafs. Hyman is a Toronto native and was a Hobey Baker finalist in the NCAA after scored 22 goals with 32 assists (54 points) in 37 games at the University of Michigan.

The Maple Leafs had plenty of cap-room to take on Brewer’s $3.75M cap-hit. The Leafs wanted to move Holzer for a draft-pick, rather than lose him in free agency for nothing this offseason. Brewer has just one goal and five assists in 26 games between the Lightning and Ducks this season.

Holzer, 26, is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. He has plenty of size at 6-foot-3, 205 lbs and bring a physical brand of hockey, but provides little in the way of offence. Holzer had six assists in 34 games with the Maple Leafs.

Lindstrom, 31, returned to the NHL this season after spending the last five seasons overseas. With the Blues at full health, Lindstrom has been a healthy scratch since February 6th. Overall he has three goals and three assists in 34 games this season.

Clark, 24, has one assist in seven games with Anaheim this season. He is expected to report to Lake Erie (AHL), having posted just six points (1G / 5A) in 45 games with Norfolk.

Sgarbossa, 22, will report to Norfolk (AHL). He has 23 points (4G / 19A) in 40 games with Lake Erie. In nine career NHL games Sgarbossa has registered one assist.

Louis, 27, is an undrafted defenseman who had three assists in 34 games with Portland (AHL) prior to being traded. He will report to Bridgeport (AHL).

Leggio, 30, you might remember as the goalie who dislodged the net on a breakaway in the AHL earlier this season, is heading back to the Portland Pirates (AHL). He has gone 7-13-0 with a 3.93 GAA and .861 SV% with Bridgeport (AHL) this season.

Caron, 23, is set to become a restricted free agent in the offseason. He is a former first round pick, 25th overall in 2009, but has only tallied 28 points (12G / 16A) in 134 career NHL games with the Bruins. He has shown some scoring prowess at the AHL level this season, but hasn’t been able to translate that to the big leagues.

Talbot, 31, is a hard-working bottom-6 forward who will kill penalties. He lacks speed, so he should fit right in with the Bruins, but has loads of playoff experience. He has 15 points (5G / 10A) in 63 games this season.

Karlsson, 22, was a second round-pick (53red overall) in the 2011 NHL draft. He has registered 24 points (8G / 16A) in 37 games with Norfolk (AHL) this season—He has three points (2G / 1A) in 18 games with the Ducks. He will report to Springfield (AHL).

Bourque, who just cleared waivers, will report to Springfield. He was part of the trade to make the money work, but he is having a terrible season. Bourque has 10 points (2G / 8A) in 43 games between the Canadiens and Ducks.

Wisniewski, who reportedly suffered a foot injury last night, must have received a good prognosis on that front. The 31-year-old has a ton of offence, bringing a bomb to the Ducks power-play. He joins Cam Fowler, Sami Vatanen, Hampus Lindholm and Francois Beauchemin on the Ducks blue line—all of which have offensive capabilities.

Mitchell, 30, is from Montreal and in an interview with TSN, he sounded elated to be heading home. He is a strong skater, forechecker and penalty killer, who adds more depth to the Habs forward ranks. He had six goals and seven assists (13 points) in 51 games with the Sabres.

Baertschi, 21, is a former first round pick (13th overall) in 2011, but he never panned out in Calgary. He is set to become a restricted free agent in the offseason, but he let the Flames know that he would not be re-signing, so they had to move him. He is a speedy winger, who fits better into the Canucks system, but will report to Utica (AHL) for now.
