The whirlwind offseason continues in full flight, and free agency is finally underway.
We’ll keep you posted on all the major signings, trades, and other developments as they happen throughout the day here.
Blackhawks re-sign Kubalik to 2-year extension
Dominik Kubalik took the hockey world by surprise during his rookie year and he’ll remain with the Blackhawks for the foreseeable future.
Kubalik inked a two-year extension worth $3.7 million after scoring 30 goals and 46 points last year.
The Calder Trophy finalist is a bridge between the Blackhawks’ old guard and future ambitions and if he can continue to score at the rate he did during his rookie year, it’s an absolute steal.
Lundqvist expected to sign with Capitals
It’s been one of the worst-kept secrets this week, but King Henrik is off to Washington.
Henrik Lundqvist signed a one-year deal with the Capitals worth $1.5 million, according to TSN’s Bob McKenzie. Lundqvist will also receive $3 million from the Rangers as part of the provisions from his Sept. 30 buyout.
At this point, Lundqvist carries more name recognition than actual value but after a season where he posted replacement-level stats across the board, he’s primed for a bounceback season, working in tandem with Ilya Samsonov.
Jets acquire Stastny from Golden Knights
Vegas is trying to clear cap space and the Winnipeg Jets may have let them off the hook on Friday.
Winnipeg acquired Paul Stastny in exchange for Carl Dahlstrom and a conditional fourth-round pick — the conditions aren’t too laborious, however, as Stastny needs to play just five games with his new club for the provisions to kick in.
Stastny is still a productive player, posting 38 points in 71 games last season and the Jets should be happy about the experience and versatility he brings to the table.
Vegas, however, is reportedly in the mix for Alex Pietrangelo and this trade likely clears space for what could be a paradigm-altering move, with Stastny’s $6.5M AAV salary off the books.

Canadiens sign Victor Mete to 1-year, $735K contract.
This isn’t going to make headlines, but for this term, it’s an astute move by Marc Bergevin and the Canadiens, who have otherwise had a pretty questionable start to the offseason.
