Fantasy Impact: Maple Leafs Sign Max Domi
The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed forward Max Domi to a one-year deal worth $3M. The Maple Leafs get: a talented, but at times frustrating and wildly inconsistent forward who can play center, but will likely line up on the wing. They could be getting the 40-point Domi of 2020 through early 2022, or they [...]
Fantasy Impact: The Kraken Sign Kailer Yamamoto
The Seattle Kraken have signed winger Kailer Yamamoto to a one-year deal worth $1.5M AAV. The Kraken get: a diminutive (5-8), high-upside winger with a lot to prove.

Fantasy Impact: Leafs Sign Tyler Bertuzzi
The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed winger Tyler Bertuzzi to a one-year deal worth $5.5M AAV.

Fantasy Impact: Red Wings Sign Gostisbehere
The Detroit Red Wings have signed defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere (Ghost-Bear) to a one-year deal worth $4.125M.
