The Hurricanes have signed Antoine Bibeau to a one-year, two-way contract.

Bibeau has primarily served as a AHL netminder since being drafted in the sixth-round in 2013. He has played just four NHL games, allowing nine goals on 97 shots (.907 SV%). He will likely serve as Alex Nedeljkovic's backup in the AHL to start 2021.

The Predators have signed Nick Cousins to a two-year deal worth $3.0 million ($1.5M AAV).

Cousins will be on his fourth team in three years but has turned into a reliable third-line winger in recent years. Cousins has chipped in 27 and 25 points in each of the last two seasons and should have similar production in Nashville.

The Canucks have signed Zack MacEwen to a two-year deal worth $1.65 million ($825K AAV).

MacEwen split his 2020 campaign between the AHL and NHL, recording 11 points (5G / 6A) in 20 games with Utica and six points (5G / 1A) in 17 games with Vancouver. MacEwen is a big winger (6-foot-4, 211 lbs) who posted excellent numbers at lower-levels and should be a bottom-6 player for the Canucks in 2021.

Hamonic has opted out of the NHL Return to Play Program.

Hamonic has been granted a leave of absence from the Flames for family reasons. Hamonic's daughter recently overcame a respiratory virus and Hamonic said in a statement that he wishes he "could lace up my skates and be out there battling, but my family has and always will come first."

The Senators have signed Artem Zub to a one-year, entry-level contract.

Zub was an undrafted free agent defenseman out of Russia, who is coming off of a career-year in the KHL. The 24-old set new career-highs in goals (13), assists (9) and points (22) in 57 games with St. Petersburg SKA. In 2018 he represented Russia in the Olympics, where he had four assists in six games to help the team win gold.
