NY #Rangers officially announced that they've bought out the final year of Henrik Lundqvist's contract.

Here are the cap hit implications for the Rangers:

2020-21: $5,500,000 (-3.0M)
2021-22: $1,500,000 (+1.5M)

Pierre LeBrun on First Up 1050: “This won’t shock anyone, I’m not dropping any news here ... I was told by a source yesterday that Tyson Barrie and Cody Ceci know that they’re headed to market and not re-signing with the Maple Leafs.”

Minnesota Wild are shopping Ryan Donato, per @RussoHockey. San Jose Sharks have shown interest in him + inquired for Devan Dubnyk. #SJSharks

#MNWild  getting calls on Jordan Greenway, Luke Kunin, and Joel Eriksson-Ek. Guerin is unhappy with Greenway, doesn’t want to trade EE.

The @NJDevils announced the re-signings of forwards Brett Seney (1-yr, 2-way contract; $700K NHL level; $250K AHL), Ben Street (1-yr, 2-way; $750K NHL level; $425K AHL) and defenseman Josh Jacobs (1-yr, 2-way; $700K NHL level; $130K AHL).

Brian Burke on Hockey Central says the Leafs told him one of the reasons they were firing him was because he couldn't get Roberto Luongo. Burke said the last offer he made was on the draft floor, offered the Canucks Kadri, Gardiner and two 1st RD picks. Gillis rejected it.

Burke said he yelled so loud at Gillis the whole building heard it, then he went to the Florida Panthers table and told them they didn't have to worry about Toronto being in on Luongo, they were out, and so was Burke shortly thereafter.

The #mnwild today named Michael Murray Assistant to the General Manager. He spent the last nine seasons working in hockey operations for the @TheAHL.

Yzerman confirms the Red Wings won't be offering Jimmy Howard a contract prior to free agency

Yzerman recounting trading up one spot to pick Brayden Point.

*Calls Chuck Fletcher who is 10ft away, offers next pick + 7th*

*Fletcher turns around and looks at him funny*

*Yzerman shrugs*

*Deal is done, TBL picks Point*

Elliotte Friedman on WGR550 this morning: "I think there's a decent chance (a Laine trade) happens. I think WPG is legitimately trying to make a move here"

Not 100% happiness between Laine and team. Gonna be a bigger problem in a year when his contract expires so sort it out now.

Bryan Little probably won't play again due to injury.

TRADE:

To Ottawa #Senators
D Josh Brown (RFA Rights)

To Florida #Panthers
2020 4th round pick (OTT - 95th overall)

The Toronto Maple Leafs have re-signed RFA forward Denis Malgin to a one-year contract extension worth $700,000 total.

Dreger on TSN690 in Montreal says Oliver Ekman-Larsson wants to be traded to either Vancouver or Boston, and that's what Coyotes GM Bill Armstrong is working with.

The Winnipeg Jets have re-signed pending UFA goaltender Laurent Brossoit to a one-year, $1.5M contract extension.

Columbus #BlueJackets have signed F Kole Sherwood to a 1 year/2-way extension.

NHL: $735,000
Minor: $70,000

Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet:

The Dallas Stars defensemen Miro Heiskanen and Jamie Oleksiak are entering the final year of their deals. The Stars will try to trade a salary this offseason, though they may have some issues due to trade protections. Pending UFA goaltender Anton Khudobin has likely priced himself out of Dallas. Ben Bishop‘s salary drops to $3.5 million for three more years and his no-trade becomes a partial not trade.

Not confirmed but there is talk that the Carolina Hurricanes could be willing to a eight-year contract extension for Andrei Svechnikov worth $7.5 million per season. Could do a bridge deal if Svechnikov thinks he could do better in a year or two.

The Minnesota Wild asked Dustin Byfuglien if he wanted to play again but agent Ben Hankinson doesn’t think he’ll ever play again.

It’s sounding like the Winnipeg Jets and Patrik Laine are trying to solve an issue. Laine wants to be guaranteed that he’ll play with Mark Scheifele. The Jets won’t do that. Nikolaj Ehlers has term on his deal so the Jets may prefer to not trade him.

The St. Louis Blues will take one more run at Alex Pietrangelo.

The New Jersey Devils would consider moving their No. 18 and No, 20 first round picks. Don’t believe they want to move their No. 7.

The Anaheim Ducks are open to the trade of trading down a few spots from their No. 6.

The Washington Capitals are trying to move salary out so they can re-sign Brenden Dillon.

The goalie trade market is being affected by the number of pending UFA goalies – why give up assets when you can sign a free agent? The Pittsburgh Penguins are finding this out.

The Arizona Coyotes may prefer to keep goaltender Darcy Kuemper.

Don’t think the Vegas Golden Knights want to buy out goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury.

The Calgary Flames are looking for a goaltender. Trade talks between the Flames and Columbus Blue Jackets have cooled. The Flames blue line could have a completely different look next season. When the Flames were having Taylor Hall trade talks with the New Jersey Devils, defenseman Noah Hanifin was discussed.

Could the Coyotes see what the trade market for Clayton Keller is like?

Создайте тему межсезонье пожалуйста.

Официально:

The Vegas #GoldenKnights have extended pending UFA goaltender Robin Lehner to a 5 year, $5M AAV contract per @frank_seravalli.

The Philadelphia #Flyers have signed pending UFA goaltender Brian Elliott to a 1 year contract with a cap hit of $1.5M.

The Montreal Canadiens have given RFAs Max Domi, Charles Hudon, Noah Juulsen, Victor Mete and Xavier Ouellet their qualifying offers, per @renlavoietva.

The Arizona #Coyotes have placed F Michael Grabner on unconditional waivers for the purpose of a buyout

Buyout cap hit is as follows:
2020-21: $833k
2021-22: $1.25M

The buyout has a smaller cap hit in 2020-21 because the salary was back-loaded.
