The Kraken have re-signed Morgan Geekie to a one-year, $1.4 million contract.
The Flames have re-signed Nikita Zadorov to a two-year, $7.5 million contract.
Zadorov is a huge (6-6, 235), physical defenseman, who had 22 points (4G / 18A) in 74 games with the Flames a season ago. The 27-year-old led Flames' defensemen in hits (181) and could take on a larger penalty killing role in 2022-23 with Erik Gudbranson now in Columbus.
The Bruins have acquired Pavel Zacha from the Devils for Erik Haula.
Zacha is a pending RFA who is coming off of a three-year deal worth $2.25M AAV. The 2015 No.6 overall pick has never fully unlocked the offensive potential he flashed as a Sarnia Sting (OHL). The 25-year-old is coming off of a 15-goal, 21-assist (36 points) season in 2021-22.
