    The New York Islanders have signed Maxim Shabanov to a 1-year entry-level contract.

    The contract has a base of $975,000 with Schedule A bonuses of $1 million and schedule B bonuses of $2.5 million. Schedule B bonuses are normally only attainable by the best players in the league.

    Kevin Weekes reported previously that the Islanders, Rangers, Mammoth and Flyers had the best shot to sign the winger.

    Shabanov, 24, had 23 goals and 44 assists in 65 games for Chelyabinsk Traktor of the KHL last season.

  • Blues sign Pius Suter

    The St. Louis Blue have signed Pius Suter to a 2-year contract with a cap hit of $4.125 million.

    The Blues had been in the market for a center and had reportedly explored the possibility of Mikael Granlund before he signed in Anaheim.

    Suter, 29, had 25 goals and 21 assists in 81 games with the Canucks last season.

  • Devils re-sign Cody Glass

    The New Jersey Devils have re-signed Cody Glass to a 2-year contract with a cap hit of $2.5 million.

    The Devils held Glass’ RFA rights, as they gave him his $2.5 million qualifying offer before the deadline, despite rumors that they would not.

    Glass, 26, had 6 goals and 16 assists in 65 games between the Penguins and Devils in 2024-25.

  • Penguins sign Anthony Mantha

    The Pittsburgh Penguins have signed Anthony Mantha to a 1-year contract with a $2.5 million base salary and $2 million in performance bonuses.

    The winger is eligible for bonuses as he missed significant time with injury last season.

    Mantha, 30, missed all but 13 games in 2024-25 with an ACL injury. He had 23 goals and 21 assists in 74 games split between Washington and Vegas in 2023-24.

  • Oilers sign Andrew Mangiapane

    The Edmonton Oilers have signed Andrew Mangiapane to a 2-year contract with a cap hit of $3.6 million.

    Mangiapane will look to fill a wing spot on the Oilers top 2 lines after they’ve lost wingers Corey Perry, Viktor Arvidsson and Connor Brown today.

    Mangiapane, 29, had 14 goals and 14 assists in 81 games with the Capitals last season.

  • Hurricanes acquire K’Andre Miller

    The Carolina Hurricanes have acquired K’Andre Miller from the New York Rangers in exchange for Scott Morrow, a conditional 1st round pick and a 2nd round pick.

    Prior to the trade the Rangers signed Miller to an 8-year contract with a cap hit of $7.5 million. The contract will cover 2 RFA seasons and 6 UFA seasons.

    Elliotte Friedman reported that Carolina originally was looking at sending Miller an offer-sheet but the 2 sides settled on a trade instead. A trade allows for the 8th year in Miller’s contract, for Carolina to protect their 1st round pick and allows for the Rangers to get the defense prospect Morrow back in the trade.

    Miller, 25, had 7 goals and 20 assists in 74 games for the Rangers last season.

  • Rangers re-sign Will Cuylle

    The New York Rangers have signed Will Cuylle to a 2-year contract with a cap hit of $3.9 million.

    This takes the oft-rumored offer-sheet off the table for the winger. He will have 2 RFA seasons remaining after this 2-year pact.

    Cuylle, 23, had 20 goals and 25 assists in 82 games with the Rangers last season.

  • Ducks sign Mikael Granlund

    The Anaheim Ducks have signed Mikael Granlund to a 3-year contract with a cap hit of $7 million.

    Granlund started the 2024-25 season with the Sharks before being traded along with Cody Ceci to the Stars in a move that sent a 1st round pick back to the Sharks.

    Granlund, 33, had 22 goals and 44 assists in 83 games split between the Sharks and Stars last season.
