NY Islanders Sign Jesse Joensuu to One-Year Deal

The New York Islanders have announced that they have re-signed right wing Jesse Joensuu to a one-year contract.  The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.  In 50 games last season with HV-71 of the Swedish Elite League, he had 13 goals and 16 assists for 29 points.  He last appeared in an NHL game with the Islanders during the 2010-11 season, scoring six goals and three assists for nine points in 42 games.  While Joensuu has good size and some scoring ability, he could end up seeing some time in the minors next season if he can't make the team out of training camp.  If he lands a spot on the Islanders' roster for the 2012-13 season, it will likely be on the fourth line.

Lightning Sign Riku Helenius to Two-Year Deal

The Tampa Bay Lightning announced today that they have re-signed goaltender Riku Helenius to a two-year contract.  The deal is reportedly a two-way contract for the first year and one-way agreement the second year that will pay him $650,000.  In 33 games last season with JYP of the Finnish Elite League, he posted a 17-9-5 record, seven shutouts, a 1.64 GAA, and a .936 save percentage.  This isn't a bad depth signing for the Lightning, as Helenius has the skills to be a solid goaltender at the NHL level.  More than likely, he will spend the majority of next season in the minors honing his skills, as he won't be an immediate fix to the Lightning's goaltending situation.

Predators Sign Kevin Henderson to One-Year Contract

The Nashville Predators have announced that they have signed left wing Kevin Henderson to a one-year, two-way contract.  The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.  In 30 games last season with Milwaukee of the AHL, he had four goals and seven assists for 11 points.  He was also held pointless in two games with Cincinnati of the ECHL.  He has yet to appear in an NHL game.  This is really just a depth signing for the Predators, as Henderson will likely spend all of next season in the minors.

NY Islanders Sign Goaltender John Grahame

The New York Islanders have announced that they have signed goaltender John Grahame for the remainder of the 2011-12 season. He will play as Al Montoya's backup while Evgeni Nabokov recovers from a lower-body injury. Grahame last appeared in the NHL during the 2007-08 season with the Carolina Hurricanes. This is really just a depth signing for the Islanders, as they were likely looking for a veteran goaltender to backup Al Montoya since Kevin Poulin will be sent back to Bridgeport of the AHL to help them in the playoffs.

Blackhawks Sign Goaltender Carter Hutton to One-Year Deal

The Chicago Blackhawks announced on Friday that they have signed goaltender Carter Hutton to a one-year, two-way contract. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. He played last season with San Jose's AHL affiliate in Worcester and actually backed up Antti Niemi for about a month when Antero Niittymaki was out of action, but never appeared in an NHL game. Hutton has a 10-8-2 record this season with Rockford of the AHL, posting a 2.93 GAA and a .902 save percentage. This is nothing more than a depth signing for the Blackhawks, as Hutton will likely spend the remainder of the season in the minors.

Devils Sign Steve Bernier to One-Year Contract

The New Jersey Devils have announced that they have signed right wing Steve Bernier to a one-year, two-way contract. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. He attended the team's training camp this past September on a tryout basis and has been playing with their AHL affiliate in Albany since the start of the 2011-12 season. In 17 games with Albany, he has three goals and three assists for six points. This is a depth signing at best for the Devils, as Bernier has struggled to find offensive consistency for the past couple of seasons. However, he has good size and can play a role as a penalty killer. He was recalled from the minors after the signing, so look for Bernier to play on New Jersey's fourth line.

Blue Jackets Sign Brett Lebda to One-Year Contract

The Columbus Blue Jackets have announced that they have signed defenseman Brett Lebda to a one-year contract. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. In 26 games this season with Springfield of the AHL, he has one goal and nine assists for 10 points. The 30-year-old defenseman was traded by the Toronto Maple Leafs to the Nashville Predators this past summer and then had the final year of his contract bought out by Nashville, making him an unrestricted free agent. Not a bad depth signing for the Blue Jackets, as Lebda will add some mobility to their defense. With Radek Martinek out for the rest of the season with a concussion, Lebda's veteran presence will be valuable to the struggling team.

Panthers Sign John Madden to One-Year Contract

The Florida Panthers announced today that they have signed center John Madden to a one-year contract. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. In 76 games last season with the Minnesota Wild, he had 12 goals and 13 assists for 25 points. Not a bad depth signing for the Panthers, as Madden will bring some two-way skill to the forward lines. He also brings plenty of leadership, shutdown skill, and penalty kill experience to a Panthers' team that is currently battered with injuries on offense. He should be a welcome addition to the team.

Panthers Sign Bill Thomas to One-Year Contract

The Florida Panthers have announced that they have signed right wing Bill Thomas to a one-year, two-way contract. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. He appeared in 24 games with the Panthers last season, scoring four goals and three assists for seven points. In 25 games this season with San Antonio of the AHL, he has nine goals and eight assists for 17 points. This is really just a depth signing for the Panthers, as Thomas will likely play on the fourth line if he sees any NHL action this season.

Sabres Sign Joe Finley to Three-Year Contract

The Buffalo Sabres announced on Monday that they have signed defenseman Joe Finley to a three-year, two-way contract. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. He had attended the Sabres' training camp on a tryout basis this past September. In 18 games so far this season with Rochester of the AHL, he has one goal and one assist for two points and 57 penalty minutes. He has yet to play in an NHL game. This is really just a depth signing for the Sabres, as Finley will likely the majority of this season in the minors. However, he does have a lot of size and strength and also plays a very physical game, so he would definitely add a lot of toughness to the Buffalo blueline should he be recalled from the minors.

Coyotes Re-Sign Kyle Turris to Two-Year Contract

The Phoenix Coyotes announced on Tuesday that they have re-signed center Kyle Turris to a two-year contract worth $2.8 million. The deal will pay him $1.2 million in the first year and $1.6 million in the second year. Turris, who had been a restricted free agent, and the Coyotes could not come to terms on a new deal this past summer, so the 22-year-old forward held out and refused to play this season. He had until December 1 to sign a new contract in order to be eligible to play in the NHL this season. It is rumored he was holding out for $3-4 million per season, but reportedly wants out of Phoenix. He had asked for a trade in late October, and at the time, Coyotes' GM Don Maloney stated that Turris would not be traded. In 65 games last season with the Coyotes, he had 11 goals and 14 assists for 25 points. He also appeared in two games with San Antonio of the AHL, scoring one assist. More than likely, Turris is going to lose a great deal of respect from his teammates by holding out for so long and could end up on the trading block by season's end despite Maloney's desire to keep him. With only 46 points in 131 NHL games, Turris is not worth the $3-4 million he was reportedly asking for and wasted a lot of time and development by holding out for that much money. While he has the potential to become a scoring forward in the NHL, Turris will have to work very hard on the ice throughout this season and the next to show that he will be worth more money in two years.

Canadiens Sign Joe Callahan to One-Year Contract

The Montreal Canadiens have announced that they have signed defenseman Joe Callahan to a one-year, two-way contract. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. He was immediately assigned to the Canadiens' AHL affiliate in Hamilton after the signing. In 27 games last season with the Florida Panthers, he had one assist. He also appeared in 48 games with Rochester of the AHL, scoring four goals and nine assists for 13 points. This is really just a depth signing for the Canadiens, as Callahan will likely spend the majority of the 2011-12 season in the minors.

Sharks Sign Brad Winchester to One-Year Deal

The San Jose Sharks announced today that they have signed left wing Brad Winchester to a one-year contract. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. He had been attending the team's training camp on a tryout basis. In 76 games last season with the St. Louis Blues and Anaheim Ducks, he had 10 goals and six assists for 16 points and 114 penalty minutes. Not a bad depth signing for the Sharks, as Winchester will bring lots of grit and toughness to the lineup, as well as plenty of size. He should be a good fit on the checking lines.

Blackhawks Sign Ray Emery to One-Year Contract

The Chicago Blackhawks announced today that they have signed goaltender Ray Emery to a one-year contract worth $600,000. He had been attending the team's training camp on a tryout basis. In 10 games last season with the Anaheim Ducks, Emery posted a 7-2-0 record, with a 2.28 GAA and a .926 save percentage. He missed the majority of the 2010-11 season with a career-threatening hip injury, but was able to battle back from the condition and sign with the Ducks. Not a bad depth signing for the Blackhawks, as Emery has good size, is a solid goaltender, and will bring the team plenty of veteran depth in goal. Despite struggling a bit in the preseason and being outplayed by Alexander Salak, he was able to earn a contract with Chicago and will likely play as the backup to Corey Crawford. If Emery should struggle this season, he will more than likely be sent to the minors and be replaced with Salak.

Red Wings Sign Fabian Brunnstrom to One-Year Contract

The Detroit Red Wings announced today that they have signed right wing Fabian Brunnstrom to a one-year, two-way contract. The deal will pay him $600,000 at the NHL level and $105,000 at the AHL level. He had been attending the team's training camp on a tryout basis. In 72 games last season with Texas and Toronto of the AHL, he had 15 goals and 20 assists for 35 points. He last played in the NHL with the Dallas Stars during the 2009-10 season. This isn't a bad depth signing for the Red Wings, as Brunnstrom still has the potential to become a scoring forward in the NHL despite being very inconsistent and having trouble adapting to the North American brand of hockey. For the past several seasons, the Red Wings have been able to help struggling players improve their game, so the team might be able to help Brunnstrom turn his career around. This will likely be his last chance to prove himself at the NHL level, and if he can't find any consistency to his game, Brunnstrom will likely be headed back to Europe next summer.

FREE AGENT CLASSIFICATIONS (Courtesy of nhl.com)

Group 2 (Restricted Free Agents) - Subject to compensation and right to match. The following players have been tendered a qualifying offer by their respective clubs and are subject to draft-choice compensation and right to match. The draft choice compensation scale is based on compensation offered by the new club (These are last summer's figures and are meant as a general guideline for compensation. If new figures are released, they will likely be released on July 1, 2011):

$1,034,249 or below - No compensation
Over $1,034,249 to $1,567,043 - Third-round choice
Over $1,567,043 to $3,134,088 - Second-round choice
Over $3,134,088 to $4,701,131 - First-round and Third-round choice
Over $4,701,131 to $6,268,175 - First-Round, Second-round, and Third-round choice
Over $6,268,175 to $7,835,219 - two First-round choices, one second-round choice, and one Third-round choice
Over $7,835,219 - four First-round choices

Group 3 (Unrestricted Free Agents) - The following players have qualified for Group 3 Free Agency (age 27 or older or with at least seven accrued seasons) and are Unrestricted Free Agents.

Group 6 (Unrestricted Free Agents) - The following players qualify for unrestricted free agency, having met the requirements for Group 6 free agency. These players, whose contracts have expired, are age 25 or older, have completed three or more professional seasons, and (i) in the case of a player other than a goaltender, have played less than 80 NHL games (regular season and playoffs), or (ii) in the case of a goaltender, have played less than 28 NHL games (regular season and playoffs).

Unrestricted Free Agents (UFA) - The following players were not tendered a qualifying offer and are therefore unrestricted free agents not subject to a right to match or draft choice compensation.
