D'Amigo, 23, had three points (1G / 2A) in 22 games with the Maple Leafs last season. While in the AHL he was able to post 20 goals and 13 assists (33 points) in 51 contests. He is a strong two-way player with an ability to score.
Frattin, 26, returns to Toronto after he was dealt to the Kings in the Jonathan Bernier trade. After 40 games with Los Angeles he was traded to Columbus in the Marian Gaborik deal. He finished the season with two goals and five assists in 44 total games.
Aulie, 25, only had one assist with a minus-3 rating in just 15 games with the Lightning this season. He heads to an Oilers team with a young and inexperienced blueline, so he will be given a chance to battle for playing time.
Hiller, 32, was kind of pushed out of town because of Frederik Andersen and John Gibson, but he signs with a team where the crease is clearly his. He was 29-13-7 with a 2.48 GAA and .911 SV% with Anaheim last year. The Flames will be a more difficult team to play behind, but having the number-1 job secured, his fantasy value remains high.
Perreault, 26, is under-sized at 5-foot-10, but has been a steady offensive producer over the last three seasons. He had 18 goals and 25 assists (43 points) in 69 games with the Ducks and should be in the Jets top-6, likely playing with Blake Wheeler.
Orpik, 33, has spent his entire 12 year career with the Penguins but will be in Washington for the 2014-15 season. He is a strong stay-at-home defenseman who managed to post 13 points (2G / 11A) in 72 games last year. He also had a strong Olympics, but at $5.5 million annual cap-hit and all the injuries he's had in recent years, this is a risky signing.
Gionta, 35, will very likely be handed the C after signing a three-year deal with the Sabres this afternoon. He had 18 goals and 22 assists (40 points) in 81 games with the Canadiens last season. He will be comfortably in the Sabres top-6 and should be able to top the 40 point plateau.
Greiss, 28, was 10-8-5 with a 2.29 GAA and .920 SV% as the Coyotes back-up to Mike Smith. Smith went down with injury and Greiss stepped in and played well like he had all season. He will be a strong spot-start option again this season as he goes to a strong Penguins squad.
Comeau had 16 points (5G / 11A) in 61 games with the Blue Jackets. He is not fantasy relevant, but will help solidify the Penguins forward depth.
Montoya, 29, went 13-8-3 with a 2.30 GAA and .920 SV% with the Jets last season. Ondrej Pavelec struggled, so Montoya was leaned on heavily at times, and he played very well. He will assume the back-up role behind Roberto Luongo in Florida.
Hemsky had four goals and 13 assists (17 points) in 20 games with Ottawa after being traded from Edmonton. He will join his linemate Jason Spezza in Dallas, a team who now has an extremely dangerous top-6.
Miller, 33, was 25-30-4 with a 2.64 GAA and .918 SV% between the Buffalo Sabres and St. Louis Blues in 2013-14. The Canucks had the look of a team in a rebuilding mode, but with the signing of Miller it looks like they are going to try and push for the playoffs. Miller will undoubtedly be the Canucks starter, but Eddie Lack proved to be a more than capable NHL goalie last season.
Stuart, 34, had just 11 points (3G / 8A) in 61 games with the Sharks last season. His offence is not where it used to be, but he brings a stable and physical game to the Avalanche's blueline.
After coming over from the Panthers in a trade, Weaver had seven points (1G / 6A) and was a plus-9 in 17 regular season games and had four points (1G / 3A) and a plus-8 in 17 postseason games with the Habs. He will likely shuffle in and out of the lineup as a sixth and seventh defenseman in 2014-15.
Stoner, 29, is not know for what he does in the offensive zone, but he managed to tally three points (1G / 2A) in 13 postseason games with the Wild last season. He is a big-boy at 6-foot-4, 213 lbs. and should slide right onto the Ducks third pairing after they traded Luca Sbisa and lost Stephane Robidas in free agency.
Gilbert, 31, had 28 points (3G / 25A) in 73 games with the Panthers last season. He is a good puck moving defenseman who will likely slide into the hole left by the Josh Gorges trade.
After scoring 19 goals with 26 assists while only making $1 million with Toronto last season, Raymond, 28, cashed in and singed a three-year deal with the Flames. Raymond has an abundance of speed and will help the Flames top-6 in 2014-15.
Bolland, 28, had a forgettable one-season in Toronto. Unfortunately, he suffered a severed Achilles tendon which limited him to just 23 games. After one year with the Leafs he hit the free-agent market and signed with the Panthers where he should find himself as a third-line centre behind Aleksander Barkov and Nick Bjugstad.
Jokinen, 31, had 57 points (21G / 37A) in 81 games playing on a line with Evgeni Malkin and James Neal (when healthy). He loses the chance to play with Malkin, but he goes to a Panthers team with some young but very skilled centres like Nick Bjugstad and Aleksander Barkov.
Peters, 27, was 7-9-4 with a 2.50 GAA and .919 SV% in a back-up role behind Cam Ward and Anton Khudobin in Carolina last year. The Capitals needed to find a serviceable back-up to push Braden Holtby and they think they've found their guy in Peters.
