Weiss struggled last season because of a wrist injury but before that he had recorded three straight 20 goal seasons, including 28 in 2009-10. He will provide the Red Wings with more forward depth and allows them to continue to play the puck possession game that they love.
Cullen had seven goals and 20 assists in 42 games with the Wild last season. He is a solid play-making center having recorded at least 20 assists every season since 2005-06.
After scoring 30 goals in 2011-12, David Clarkson only potted 15 in 48 games this season. The 6-foot-1-inch, 200 pound forward brings a physical style of play and solid net-front presence. His size along with the addition of Dave Bolland will open up the ice for the smaller Maple Leafs like Phil Kessel and Nazem Kadri.
Stalberg posted 23 points in 47 games with the Blackhawks last season. He brings a big-body with a ton of speed to an up-and-coming Nashville team.
Stone had nine points in 40 games for the Coyotes last season.
Bozak will stay in Toronto with his friend Phil Kessel. He is not the number 1 center that they need, but he is still a solid number 2. He set a career high with 47 in 2011-12 and had 28 points in 46 games last season.
The 23-year-old defenseman had five goals and 10 assists (15 points) in 39 games for the WIld this season.
Russell played 33 games with St. Louis this season netting one goal and adding six assists for seven points along with nine penalty minutes. He has played 364 career NHL games scoring 23 goals and 72 assists for 95 points
After posting a career high 62 points with the Maple Leafs in 2010-11, MacArthur has seen his production diminish in the last two years.
The Sharks also acquired Kennedy at the NHL Draft and have now re-signed the 26-year-old depth forward. He had 11 points in 46 games with Pittsburgh last season.
Hannan was acquired by the Sharks at the trade-deadline last season. He is no longer the 20-point player he was from 2002-2008 but he is a hard-nosed veteran who is a good value player at $1 million.
Scuderi will return to Pittsburgh where he played from 2003-2009. The 34-year-old brings a physical brand of hockey to a team who appeared to be pushed around by the Boston Bruins in Eastern Conference Finals.
With the Devils losing David Clarkson they bring in Clowe who plays a similar style game to that of Clarkson. The 30-year-old forward struggled early last season scoring no goals in 28 games with the Sharks before being traded to the Rangers. After being dealt he had eight points in 12 games.
Horton said that he wanted to go to a smaller market and that is likely why he chose the Blue Jackets. He had a great playoffs with the Bruins this season and will bring that to a Columbus team who doesn't have very much playoff experience. He will join the likes of Marian Gaborik and Sergei Bobrovsky on an emerging team who is headed to the Eastern Conference next season.
Greiss goes from Antti Niemi's backup in San Jose to Mike Smith's backup in Phoenix.
Ribeiro didn't get the long-term deal he was looking for in Washington but the Coyotes have given him a four-year deal. He tied for 10th in the NHL in scoring last season with 49 points in 48 games.
Gordon is good in the faceoff circle which will help an Edmonton team who struggled on the dot last season. He is a cheaper but similar option to Shawn Horcoff who the Oilers moved to Dallas.
After being a bust in Toronto and landing in the AHL last season, Komisarek brings a physical brand of hockey to a team in need of help on the back-end. At $700,000 for one-year this is a very low-risk move for the Hurricanes.
After spending 17 seasons with the Ottawa Senators, Alfredsson is on his way to Detroit. He brings a ton of leadership to an already veteran lineup and will play with fellow Swedes NIklas Kronwall, Jonathan Ericsson and of course Henrik Zetterberg. He had 26 points in 47 games last season but scored 27 goals just two years ago.
Emery was spectacular as the number 2 option in Chicago. He finished the season at 17-1-0 with a 1.94 GAA and .922 SV%. He will head back to Philadelphia where he played in 2009-10 and will battle Steve Mason for the number 1 job.
