Capitals Sign Jeff Halpern to One-Year Deal
Jeff Halpern is heading back to the team he started his NHL career with. The Washington Capitals announced on the first day of free agency that they have signed the 35-year-old center to a one-year contract worth $875,000. In 72 games last season with the Montreal Canadiens, he scored 11 goals and 15 assists for 26 points. He missed the last four games of the 2010-11 regular season and three playoff games with a lower-body injury. Not a bad signing for the Capitals, as Halpern will bring lots of veteran depth to the team. He's a decent defensive forward who is great on the penalty kill, so he should be a very effective forward for Washington next season.

Canadiens Sign Jeff Halpern to One-Year Contract
The Montreal Canadiens announced today that they have signed center Jeff Halpern to a one-year contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. In 71 games last season with the Tampa Bay Lightning and Los Angeles Kings, he had nine goals and 10 assists for 19 points. Not a bad signing for the Canadiens, as Halpern will bring some veteran depth and leadership to the team. He's a decent defensive forward and is good on the penalty kill, making him an effective replacement to Glen Metropolit, who signed with EV Zug of the Swiss League on August 2.

Kings Acquire Halpern from Lightning for Purcell, Draft Pick
The Los Angeles Kings announced today that they have acquired center Jeff Halpern from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for right wing Teddy Purcell and a third round draft pick. In 54 games this season with the Lightning, Halpern has nine goals and eight assists for 17 points. In 703 career NHL games with the Washington Capitals, Dallas Stars, and Tampa Bay Lightning, he has 131 goals and 183 assists for 314 points. He will be an unrestricted free agent this summer. In 41 games this season with the Kings, Purcell has three goals and three assists for six points. He will be a restricted free agent this summer. This is a good move for the Kings, as Halpern brings a lot of veteran depth and leadership skills to the relatively young team. Purcell will bring plenty of third-line offensive depth to the Lightning.
