It looks like Martin Gelinas is close to re-signing with the Florida Panthers.  He was hoping to play in Western Canada but recieved little interest.

Los Angeles has inked prospect Thomas Hickey to an entry level contract.  Don't expect him to play pro hockey this year.

Carolina has re-acquired Matt Cullen from the Rangers in exchage for Andrew Hutchinson, prospect Joe Barnes, and a 2008 3rd round draft pick.

Ottawa has dealt Peter Schaefer to Boston for Shean Donovan.  This is a salary dump, plain and simple.
