The Oilers have signed Brett Kulak to a four-year deal worth $11.0 million ($2.75M AAV).
The Hurricanes have acquired Lane Pederson and Brent Burns from the Sharks for Steven Lorentz, Eetu Makiniemi and a conditional 2022 3rd round pick.
The Coyotes have signed Troy Stecher to a one-year contract worth $1.2 million.
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 Oilers have signed Brad Malone to a two-year, two-way contract extension.
