The Oilers have signed Dustin Penner to an offer sheet worth $21.5 million for five years. I know they have money to throw around, but now they're just doing it for the fun of it. He is not a four million dollar player. If Anaheim matches and Niedermayer does not retire, they will be over [...]
According to 640Toronto, Brian Murray announced that he had a deal in place for Redden at the draft, but Redden refused to waive his no-trade clause.

The St. Louis Blues have acquired Hannu Toivonen from the Boston Bruins for prospect Carl Soderberg.
As Jason Banks pointed out in our forum, Adam Munro had already signed with Chicago in the NHL, so Syracuse just signed for his AHL rights. If he goes to the NHL, it will be after an injury to Khabibulin or Lalime. The Sens have avoided arbitration with Ray Emery by signing him to a [...]

Columbus GM Scott Howson will sit down with Nik Zherdev and his [...]
Curtis McElhinney has signed a contract with Calgary. He will battle Brent Krahn for the backup role behind Kiprusoff. Also signing were Eric Nystrom and Tomi Maki, neither of whom will ever put big points on the board. John Zeiler signed with Los Angeles. He has a shot at making the team as a fourth-line winger.

Done AND Done! Yashin has signed a deal to go back to Russia. There is NO out clause. The Oilers have signed Joni Pitkanen to a contract. The Coyotes have a 1A goalie after signing David Aebischer to a deal. Mikael Tellqvist will be 1B. Neither goalie deserves to be a starter, but both are capable of [...]
