2013 FA Tracker

[brwi]

I really, really like Hainsey's game. He has quietly evolved into a minute munching d-man.

It took him quite a while to live up to his contract but I'd agree. He's definitely improved over the past few years.

Updated

Alzner re-signed with Capitals
Backlund re-signed with Flames
Zidlicky re-signed with Devils
Korpikoski re-signed with Coyotes

Updated:

some minor transactions/signings
Aaron Palushaj (COL) to the Canes
Patrice Bergeron Re-signs with the Bruins
Bobby Sanguinetti (CAR) to the KHL (Atlant)
Matt Halischuk (NSH) to the Jets
Tim Kennedy (SJS) to the 'Yotes

$6.7 mill for Carlson and Alzner? Did McPherson actually do something right for a change?

[canaan]

Updated:

Canucks sign Ben Ferriero & Brandon DeFazio

[mikey287]

If the Rangers passed on Bobby Sanguinetti, the Flyers draft him instead of Claude Giroux...ah well...can't lose'em all...

Alzner contract is a total theft. Second contract in a row for Alzner that was well below market value.

Josh Bailey Re-signed with Islanders 5 years, 16.5 million
Alec Martinez Re-signed with Kings 2 years, 2.2 million

5 years for Josh Bailey? Color me shocked at the term. Seems a bit long for a guy like him.

[Idoit40fans]

If this season is any indicator of what he's gonna start doing, its a bargain. Its probably not.

[canaan]

Lightning re-signed JT Brown 1 year, two-way

Yeah, he's yet to put it all together, but if he does the Isles have him on a good deal. If he doesn't, well, whatever...wouldn't be the first time. They've done a terrific job of securing some of their young talent to really cheap deals (JT, Hamonic), even if they miss on Bailey, it wasn't for lack of effort...

Updated:

Marcus Kruger Re-signed with Blackhawks (2 years)
Brendan Smith Re-signed with Red Wings (2 years)
Harry Zolnierczyk Re-signed with Penguins (1 year)
Matt Halischuk Re-signed with Jets (1 year, two-way)

The only real negative I see here is that he might be the odd man out when some of their young guys are ready for the NHL. He will still probably get top-9 minutes and contribute. With the salary cap looking like it might rocket through the roof, this deal looks great for them. Plus Snow really hasn't swung and missed, except for the DiPietro deal, which seemed more like a puppet signing controlled by Wang.

[Factorial]

Big Dog (or was it "Dawg") gonna eat for two more years:

The deal will reportedly pay the 24-year-old $650,000 next year and $700,000 in 2014-15 season.

Good signing. Always plays with energy, heart, and this contract should motivate him to earn another one, possibly long term.

There was that one game right after being traded where he finally was throwing his weight around.

[KG]

Penner back to Anaheim. 1 year $2mill

[pcm]

Tangradi's fine as a 4th liner right now. I'd honestly rather pay him 600k than Glass 1.1m.

Updated:

Dustin Penner signed the Ducks
Tyler Shattock signed with Blues
Brett Gallant signed with Islanders
Maxime Fortunus signed with Stars
Ryan Stanton signed with Blackhawks
