Scott Gomez signed a 1-year, $900K deal with the Florida Panthers. Gomez notched 15 points in 39 games for the San Jose Sharks last season.
Mats Zuccarello avoided arbitration by signing a 1-year, $1.15 million deal with the New York Rangers. Zuccarello was productive after returning from the KHL late in the season, as he scored 8 points in 15 regular season games and then another 8 in 12 playoff games.
The Winnipeg Jets locked up two of their core players to long term deals. Zach Bogosian signed for 7 years, $36 million while Blake Wheeler inked a 6-year, $33.6 million contract. The Jets are pretty high on these two, and they should be as they look to break through and make the playoffs next season.
Kyle Palmieri is remaining in Anaheim after signing a 3-year, $4.4 million deal. Palmieri scored 21 points in 42 games, with 5 game-winning goals. He added 5 points in 7 playoff games.
Nathan Gerbe is taking his talents to Tobacco Road. The pint-sized winger signed a two-way deal for 1 year and up to $550K. He's guaranteed at least $250K regardless of where he plays. Gerbe had 10 points in 42 games while buried in the Sabres' depth chart. Hopefully he gets some solid playing time for the Hurricanes.

Newest Free Agent Signings and Rumors
Here is a list of the most recent free agent signings and rumors:
Colby Armstrong signs with Vaxjo of the SHL. Rumors were that he only received two-way offers from teams and so he's heading to Sweden to try and revitalize his career.
Mikhail Grabovski has narrowed his possibilities to three teams, but no decision will be made for at least another week, if not more. We don't know which teams are among the three, except that Winnipeg is not among them, according to Aaron Ward.
Teams are contacting the Toronto Maple Leafs about the availability of Dion Phaneuf. The calls are being made because Phaneuf has only one year left on his deal and other GMs are wondering if the Leafs can re-sign him.
Continuing the Toronto-related rumors, Cody Franson is likely to be shopped before camps open. The Leafs are having difficulty coming to an agreement with Franson on a new deal, so they may look elsewhere in a trade.
Damien Brunner is supposedly close to signing with the Devils. He's been holding out all this time because he wants to land with a team that will give him top six minutes and significant time on the power play, but nobody has stepped up because the vibe around the league is that one lockout-shortened, streaky season does not make a proven scorer.
Phoenix might trade one or more of its defensemen before the season starts. They currently have nine players signed to one-way contracts on their back end. Keith Yandle and Oliver Ekman-Larsson would have to be considered untouchable, so the likely trade candidates would be guys like David Schlemko, Rostislav Klesla, and Chris Summers. There were also rumors that Coyotes GM Don Maloney turned down two offers for Yandle: A package of Matt Read and Sean Couturier from the Flyers, and a package of Magnus Pajaarvi and Sam Gagner from the Oilers.
