The Senators have re-signed Drake Batherson to a six-year, $29.85 million contract ($4.975M AAV).
The Oilers have re-signed Warren Foegele to a three-year contract.
The Bruins have signed Linus Ullmark to a four-year, $20 million contract.
The Maple Leafs have signed Michael Amadio to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Oilers have acquired Warren Foegele from the Hurricanes for Ethan Bear.
The Avalanche have acquired Kurtis MacDermid from the Kraken for a 2023 fourth-round pick.
MacDermid had two goals, two assists, 46 hits and 35 blocked shots in 28 games with the Kings. MacDermid was selected by Seattle in the Expansion Draft but will go to Colorado for the 2021-22 season. Given the Avalanche's depth on defence, MacDermid will likely serve as a reserve.
The Rangers have acquired Sammy Blais and a 2022 second-round pick from the Blues for Pavel Buchnevich.
Blais has been a fixture of the Blues' bottom-6 over the last three seasons and likely won't be able to expand on that role with the Rangers. He doesn't offer a lot of offence, posting a career-high of just 15 points (8G / 7A) in 36 games a season ago. The Rangers have plenty of capable top-9 forwards, so expect Blais to be a fourth-liner to start 2021-22.
The Senators have signed Leevi Merilainen to a three-year, entry-level contract.
