Flames Sign Mark Giordano to Five-Year Extension

The Calgary Flames announced today that they have signed defenseman Mark Giordano to a five-year contract extension. The deal is for a reported $20 million, which will average out to $4 million per season. He would have been an unrestricted free agent next summer. In 10 games so far this season, Girodano has three assists. In 205 career NHL games, all with the Flames, he has 20 goals and 48 assists for 68 points and 193 penalty minutes. Not a bad signing for the Flames, as Giordano has always been a fairly steady blueliner on the team. He has good puck-moving skills, plenty of offensive talent, and plays with some toughness. With all of his skills, he should help keep the Flames competitive on defense for the duration of the new deal.

Predators Sign Steve Begin to One-Year Deal

The Nashville Predators announced today that they have signed left wing Steve Begin to a one-year, two-way contract worth $550,000. Begin will be assigned to the Predators' AHL affiliate in Milwaukee on a conditioning stint before he will join the team. In 77 games last season with the Boston Bruins, he had five goals and nine assists for 14 points and 53 penalty minutes. In 486 career NHL games with the Calgary Flames, Montreal Canadiens, Dallas Stars, and Boston Bruins, he has 52 goals and 48 assists for 100 points and 535 penalty minutes. Not a bad depth signing for the Predators, as Begin will add some extra toughness to the team. Besides playing with plenty of toughness, Begin is also a good hitter, has some defensive ability, and can also play at center, so he should be a solid addition to the team.

Flames Claim Defenseman Mikkelson Off Waivers

The Calgary Flames announced today that they have claimed defenseman Brendan Mikkelson off waivers from the Anaheim Ducks. He was waived by the team on Monday after serving as a healthy scratch on Sunday's 3-2 win over Phoenix to make room for the debut of Andreas Lilja. Mikkelson has also had trouble securing a regular roster spot on the team over the past few seasons. In five games so far this season, he has one assist. Not a bad depth move for the Flames, as Mikkelson still has the potential to become a top-six defenseman at the NHL level. He has good size, some puck-moving skill, and a little offensive upside, and could become an effective defenseman for the Flames if he can improve his game a bit.

Sharks Sign Joe Thornton to Three-Year Extension

The San Jose Sharks have announced that they have signed center Joe Thornton to a three-year contract extension worth $21 million. The deal averages out to $7 million per season when it kicks in next season. He would have been an unrestricted free agent next summer. In three games so far this season, he has two goals and one assist. In 918 career NHL games with the Boston Bruins and San Jose Sharks, he has 287 goals and 647 assists for 934 points. This is a great signing for the Sharks, as Thornton brings a lot of offensive skill to the team. He's an excellent playmaker and passer, has great vision on the ice, and brings lots of size and strength to the team. Look for Thornton to continue to be one of the Sharks' top forwards over the next several seasons.

Devils Sign Forward Adam Mair to One-Year Contract

The New Jersey Devils have announced that they have signed center Adam Mair to a one-year contract worth $515,000. He attended the Devils' training camp this past September on a tryout basis. In 69 games last season with the Buffalo Sabres, he had six goals and eight assists for 14 points and 73 penalty minutes. In three games so far this season, he has no points. This is really just a depth signing for the Devils, as Mair was signed right after tough-guy forward Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond was suspended one game for an instigator penalty and subsequently demoted to the minors by the team. Mair will bring plenty of toughness and grit to the checking lines and is also versatile, as he can play all three forward positions.

Sabres Sign Free Agent Forward Mark Parrish

The Buffalo Sabres have added some offensive depth by signing free agent right wing Mark Parrish to a contract and then assigning him to their AHL affiliate in Portland. The exact length and financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. He attended the Sabres' training camp on a tryout basis. In 16 games last season with the Tampa Bay Lightning, Parrish had two assists. He also appeared in 56 games with Norfolk of the AHL, scoring 17 goals and 21 assists for 38 points. This is really just a depth signing for the Sabres, as Parrish will likely spend most of the 2010-11 season in the minors, where he will provide plenty of offensive depth for Portland. If Parrish does play with Buffalo this season, it will likely be on the fourth line as a depth winger.
