Boeser was set to become an RFA after his three-year, $17.625M deal expired. His new-deal carries a $6.65M AAV cap-hit and carries him through the 2025 season. Boeser is coming off of his fourth 20-plus goal season and has at least 45 points in five straight seasons. His biggest issue has been health, missing 15 percent of the games since 2018.
Allard was acquired from the Predators in March, registering 10 points (3G / 7A) in 15 games after joining the Kings' AHL affiliate in Ontario. Overall, he had four goals and 11 assists (15 points) in 51 AHL contests in 2022.
Villalta was a third-round pick in 2017 and served as Ontario's (AHL) No.1 goalie in 2022. The 23-year-old went 28-10-7 with a 2.98 GAA and .903 SV% in 46 AHL games this season.
Lockwood was a third-round pick in 2016 and appeared in a career-high 13 NHL games in 2022. The 24-year-old failed to record a point with the Canucks but had 25 points (9G / 16A) in 46 AHL games.
Juulsen was traded to the Canucks in October 2021 and spent most of the season in the AHL. He scored three goals with 13 assists (16 points) in 50 games with Abbotsford (AHL). He had two assists in eight games with the Canucks, giving him 10 points (2G / 8A) in 56 career NHL games.
Rathbone led all Abbotsford (AHL) defensemen with 40 points (10G / 30A) in 2022. He spent some time with the Canucks, failing to register a point in nine games. Rathbone will be in the mix to be a full-time NHL defenseman in 2022-23.
Olofsson signed with the Kraken last August, spending the entire season in the AHL. He had nine points (2G / 7A) in 41 games with Charlotte (AHL). Signing a two-way deal suggests he'll start 2022-23 in the AHL again.
Dunne signed a two-year, entry-level contract in March 2021 and appeared in six NHL games with the Blue Jackets in 2022. His two-way contract suggests he'll be a fringe roster player for the Blue Jackets again in 2022-23.
The Lightning acquired Paul from the Senators at the trade deadline and made an instant impact in Tampa. He had 23 points (10G / 13A) in 44 regular season and playoff games combined. The Lightning clearly liked what they had in Paul, making a seven-year commitment to him with a $3.15M AAV cap-hit.
Olivier was a key member of the Predators in 2021 but fell behind the eight-ball with an injury in 2022, spending most of the year in the AHL. The rugged winger has seven points (3G / 4A) and 102 hits in 48 career NHL games. He'll likely be a fringe roster player for the Blue Jackets in 2022-23.
Wedgwood was a revelation for the Stars in 2022, going 3-1-3 with a .913 SV% in eight games after being acquired from the Coyotes. Braden Holtby is a UFA, Ben Bishop, who is not expected to play again, was traded to Buffalo and Anton Khudobin is out until at least September, so Wedgewood enters 2022-23 as the Stars' No.2 behind Jake Oettinger.
Tufte was the No.25 overall pick in 2016 and made his NHL debut during the 2022 season, scoring one goal in 10 games. During his time in the AHL, he registered 10 goals and 10 assists (20 points) in 54 games. Tufte should be in the mixd for a bottom-6 role in Dallas to start the 2022-23 season.
The Kings acquired Fiala from the Wild on Wednesday and signed him to a massive seven-year extension, which represents a $2.775M AAV raise for the Swiss winger. Fiala will play a huge role in Los Angeles, next to either Anze Kopitar or Phillip Danault, both spots could allow him to build off of his career-best 2022 season.
Anderson, who recently turned 41-years-old, went 17-12-2 with a 3.12 GAA and .897 SV% in 31 games with the Sabres in 2022. Signing a one-year deal gives the Sabres a reliable veteran netminder that can mentor Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in the 2022-23 season.
Raddysh was an undrafted free agent that was traded to Tampa in 2019, re-signed with them in 2021 and earned another two-year deal after posting 25 points (7G / 18A) in 61 games with Syracuse (AHL). He made his NHL debut in 2022, failing to record a point in four NHL games.
Fiala was set to become an RFA and the Wild likely weren't going to have the cap-space to re-sign him. They moved him and added a second first-round pick in 2022 and Brock Faber, who was a second-round pick (No.45 overall) in 2020. For Fiala, he heads to Los Angeles, where he'll likely play a key top-6 role next to either Anze Kopitar or Phillip Danault. Fiala is coming off of the best season of his career, scoring 33 goals with 52 assists (85 points) in 82 games.
Shea was a fourth-round pick of the Blackhawks in 2015 and signed with the Stars in 2020. He spent the last two seasons in Texas (AHL), where he had three goals and 35 assists (38 points) in 93 games combined.
