The Avalanche have signed Artturi Lehkonen to a five-year contract extension worth $22.5 million ($4.5M AAV).
The Oilers have signed Brett Kulak to a four-year deal worth $11.0 million ($2.75M AAV).
The Hurricanes have acquired Brent Burns and Lane Pederson from the Sharks for Steven Lorentz, Eetu Makiniemi and a conditional 2022 3rd round pick.
The Avalanche have re-signed Josh Manson to a four-year deal worth $18.0 million ($4.5M AAV).
The Avalanche acquired Manson from the Ducks in mid-March and he had 15 points (5G / 10A) in 42 combined games between the regular season and playoffs. Manson sticks around as a top-4 D option to play alongside Samuel Girard/Bowen Byram.
The Sabres have signed Vinnie Hinostroza to a one-year, $1.7 million contract extension.
The Canucks have signed Noah Juulsen to a one-year, two-way contract extension.
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.
The Stars have signed Scott Wedgewood to a two-year contract extension.
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.
