Chris Kunitz for Penguins signed a deal a while ago. No longer a Free Agent.

Thanks for the heads up. Not sure how I missed removing Kunitz.

Brad Thiessen on the Penguins also resigned yesterday. 1 year, $525,000 2way deal... also Mattias Modig from the Penguins moved back to Sweden to play for the Vaxjo Lakers back on June 14th, so while I suppose he is still technically a free agent by NHL standards, he's pretty much done with North American hockey.
