9.10.25 Vegas

Jack Eichel has signed an eight-year contract extension with the Vegas Golden Knights worth $13.5 million annually. The deal, which begins in the 2026-27 season, was finalized just hours before the Golden Knights' season opener against the Kings.

Edmonton Oilers star center Connor McDavid signed a two-year contract extension worth $12.5 million per year, ensuring he stays with the team past this season. The decision came after quick negotiations finalized on Monday, ending speculation about his future as he neared free agency.

6.10.25 Philadel.

The Philadelphia Flyers have traded defenseman Ryan Ellis and a conditional 2026 sixth-round pick to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for forward Carl Grundstrom and defenseman Artem Guryev. Ellis played only four games with the Flyers due to a career-threatening pelvis injury. The Sharks are expected to place him on long-term injured reserve. He has two years remaining on an eight-year, $50 million contract.

5.10.25 Minnesota

The Minnesota Wild have signed starting goaltender Filip Gustavsson to a five-year, $34 million extension, locking in another key piece of their young core. The 27-year-old Swede, coming off a breakout season with a .914 save percentage and 31 wins, was entering the final year of his previous deal. His extension follows the Wild's record-setting eight-year, $136 million contract with winger Kirill Kaprizov earlier this week.

3.10.25 Florida

The Florida Panthers have signed defenseman Niko Mikkola to an eight-year contract extension with an average annual value of $5 million, securing all four of their top defensemen through at least 2030. Mikkola, 29, has been a key contributor during the Panthers' back-to-back Stanley Cup runs, bringing physicality and skating ability to the blue line.

1.10.25 Minnesota

The Minnesota Wild have signed left wing Kirill Kaprizov to a historic eight-year, $136 million contract extension, setting new NHL records for both total value and average annual value.

29.9.25 Toronto

The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed goaltender Anthony Stolarz to a four-year, $15 million contract extension, solidifying him as the team's top netminder. The deal comes ahead of the final season of his current contract and follows the indefinite leave of absence taken by fellow goaltender Joseph Woll. Stolarz impressed last season with a 21-8-3 record, league-leading .926 save percentage, and 2.14 goals-against average, despite battling injuries.

6.9.25 Montreal

The Montreal Canadiens traded longtime goaltender Carey Price to the San Jose Sharks on Friday, receiving defenseman Gannon Laroque and a 2026 fifth-round pick in return. Price, who hasn't played since April 2022 due to a knee injury, was on long-term injured reserve and in the final year of his eight-year, $84 million contract. The move frees up over $10 million in cap space for Montreal, which had been $5.9 million over the cap.

23.8.25 Minnesota

The Minnesota Wild have re-signed restricted free agent center Marco Rossi to a three-year, $15 million contract. The 23-year-old, drafted ninth overall in 2020, is coming off a breakout season with 24 goals and 36 assists in 82 games. The Wild now turn their attention to extending star winger Kirill Kaprizov.
