The Wild have signed Kirill Kaprizov to a five-year contract worth $45.0 million ($9.0M AAV).
There was some concern whether or not Kaprizov would return to the Wild after signing a deal in the KHL this summer. However, the Wild were able to get him under contract for the next five years--presumably the best years of his career. At the age of 23-years-old, he dazzled in his rookie season, scoring 27 goals with 24 assists (51 points) in 55 games, winning the Calder Trophy. Coming into his second season, Kaprizov is a threat to finish at a point-per-game pace and should be considered one of the top LW options in fantasy.
The Senators have re-signed Filip Gustavsson to a two-year contract.
The Wild have signed Carson Lambos to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Kraken have signed Marcus Johansson to a one-year contract.
The Stars have re-signed Benjamin Gleason to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Sabres have signed Vinnie Hinostroza to a one-year contract worth $1.05M.
The Lightning have signed Zach Bogosian to a three-year deal worth $2.55 million ($850K AAV).
The Flames have acquired Tyler Pitlick from the Kraken for a 2022 fourth-round pick.
Pitlick was selected by Seattle in the Expansion Draft on Wednesday but was quickly flipped to the Flames for a fourth-round pick. Pitlick doesn't bring a lot of offence to the table but has a trustworthy two-way game that should pair well with Mikael Backlund and help out the Flames penalty kill in 2021-22.
The Wild have signed Joel Eriksson Ek to an eight-year, $42 million contract extension.
The Canadiens have signed Brandon Baddock to a one-year, two-way contract extension.
Johansson underwent surgery to repair a broken arm on Friday and is out indefinitely.
Johansson suffered a broken arm in Game 3 and underwent surgery on Friday. Johansson is expected to miss the rest of the playoffs and may have played his final game in a Wild uniform.
Bogosian (shoulder) will play in Game 1 vs. the Canadiens.
Bogosian has been out since April 20th but will play in Game 1 vs. the Canadiens. It's unclear who Bogosian will replace but it will likely be Travis Dermott.
Tarasenko (lower-body) will return to the Blues lineup for Game 1 in Colorado.
Tarasenko missed eight of the final nine games of the regular seasons but will play in Game 1 on Monday. His return will provide a big boost for a team that will be without David Perron, who is in COVID-19 protocol. Tarasenko scored four goals with 10 assists (14 points) in 24 games this season.
