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.
Boyle, 37, reportedly turned down more money to go play in New York. There is no doubting his offence, he scored 12 goals with 24 assists (38 points) in 75 games last season, but it is his work in his own end that has come into question. He will likely get paired with Marc Staal, a D-partner that will help cover up his regressing defensive play.
Gorges, 29, had 14 points (1G / 13A) in 66 games with the Canadiens this season. He turned down the opportunity to get traded to the Maple Leafs earlier in the week, but now heads to the Sabres, who were the NHL's worst teams last season. He will step into a leadership role on a young Sabres team.
Cammalleri, 32, scored 26 goals with 19 assists (45 games) in 63 games with the Flames last season. He goes to New Jersey to try and help spark an offence that traditionally has a difficult time scoring goals.
Michalek scored 17 goals with 22 assists (39 points) in 82 games in his fifth season with the Senators. Michalek is now signed through 2016-17, but lost his centre Jason Spezza this morning. The loss of Spezza could hurt Michalek's numbers in 2014-15.
Stastny, 28, gets big money from the Blues after scoring 25 goals with 35 assists (60 points) in 71 games. Stastny heads to St. Louis where his dad played in 1993-95 and gives the Blues four very good centres.
In Johnson's first season in Boston, he posted a 17-4-3 record with a 2.10 GAA and .925 SV%. He signs with the Isles where he will compete with Jaroslav Halak for starting time.
Winchester had 18 points (9G / 9A) in 52 games with the Florida Panthers last year. He will find himself in the Avalanche bottom-six next season.
Fayne, 27, had 11 points in 72 games with the Devils last season. He heads to Edmonton where he will be one of the older players on what is a very young and inexperienced blueline. He plays a solid defensive game but is not fantasy relevant.
Pouliot scored 15 goals and 21 assists (36 points) in 80 games with the Rangers last season. He was also a part of arguably the Rangers best line in the playoffs. He finished the postseason with 10 points (5G / 5A) in 25 games. He could find himself on the wing with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins in 2014-15.
Malhotra had seven goals and six assists (13 points) in 69 games with the Hurricanes last season. He will bring leadership, a great face-off winning percentage and a strong two-way game.
Ehrhoff is coming off of a long-term deal. He signs a short-term deal to get a shot at winning a Stanley Cup after spending the last three seasons in Buffalo. Ehrhoff had six goals and 27 assists (33 points) in 79 games last season. He is a good puck moving defenseman who will fill-in for losing Matt Niskanen in free-agency. After finishing minus-27 last year, expect a much better plus/minus in Pittsburgh next season.
Karlsson, 23, had 11 goals and 13 assists (24 points) in 39 games with the Elmira Jackals of the ECHL.
Guptill, 22, was a third-round pick (77th overall) in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. Guptill scored 12 goals with 13 assists (25 points) in 31 games at the University of Michigan.
Paul, 19, was selected in the fourth-round (#101 overall) in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. Paul had 26 goals and 20 assists (46 points) in 67 games with the North Bay Battalion (OHL) this season. Paul had a strong postseason as well, posting 18 points (12G / 6A) in 22 games.
Sheahan, 22, is coming off a solid rookie season. Recalled from the Grand Rapids midway through the season due to the Red Wings' rash of injuries, Sheahan quickly established himself a dependable two-way player. He provided more offense than was expected, with nine goals and 15 assists, along with a plus-6 rating, in 42 games. Sheahan was one of the club's restricted free agents.
Chiasson, 23, recorded 35 points (13G / 22A) in 79 games for the Stars last season. Chiasson is a big forward at 6-foot-4, 205 lbs. and has shown an ability to score in the NHL. At this point in his career, Chiasson will likely find himself in the Senators top-9 opposed to the top-6.
Spezza, 31, scored 23 goals with 43 assists (66 points) in 75 games with the Senators in 2013-14. Spezza, who made it clear that he wanted out of Ottawa, refused a deal to Nashville on Draft Day, but is now on his was to Dallas. He will join Tyler Seguin as the Stars 1-2 punch. He carries a $7 million cap-hit in this, his final season on a seven-year deal.
Briere, 36, scored 13 goals with 12 assists (25 points) in 69 games with Montreal. He found himself relegated to the fourth-line for much of the season and playoffs. The trade adds an experienced forward to a young and up-and-coming team. Briere will be entering his final year of a two-year $8 million dollar deal.
