Steve Stamkos OK after MRI, set for WHC

Steve Stamkos had an MRI on his knee Sunday, but GM Steve Yzerman said it showed "nothing of significance."

The Tampa sniper felt he hyperextended his knee slightly on a hit he put on Florida defenseman Filip Kuba late in the third period of Saturday's finale. He will fly to Sweden Tuesday to play for Canada at the world championship.

Kyle Okposo feels ready for 2017-18 season

Kyle Okposo said he's healthy and ready for the 2017-18 season.

Okposo was admitted to Buffalo General Medical Center on April 2 to be treated for the effects of a concussion. "I've worked with a lot of different people -- concussion experts and people who have dealt with concussions themselves -- and I feel confident in the fact that I can play hockey again," Okposo stated in an open letter to the fans. "In fact, I know I can play again. I know I can play and not worry about hitting my head, which is a major hurdle for someone who's dealt with this. If I didn't feel 100 percent right now, that probably wouldn't be the case." He had a reaction to the medication he was taking and spent some time at the Neuro Surgical ICU to get stabilized. Okposo took part in a summer game in July and he will be on the ice for training camp.

Jagr skates with Kladno, hopes for NHL deal

Jaromir Jagr skated with his hometown team Kladno recently, but is still hoping to sign with an NHL team at some point.

"I don't think I am so bad that I couldn't play there," Jagr told Czech hockey writer Zdenek Janda. He didn't fit into Florida's plans anymore and so he is available as an unrestricted free agent. The 45-year-old winger registered 16 goals and 30 assists in 82 games last season.

Pens' Brian Dumoulin receives 6-year contract

Brian Dumoulin has signed a six-year contract with Pittsburgh.

Dumoulin's new deal, which was signed before his scheduled arbitration hearing, runs through the 2022-23 season and carries an average annual value of $4.1 million. He has dressed in all 49 playoff games during Pittsburgh's back-to-back Stanley Cup championships. Dumoulin posted 15 points in 70 games during the regular season in 2016-17. He also had 113 hits and 99 blocks.

Johnny Oduya signs with Senators

Johnny Oduya has inked a one-year, $1 million contract with the Ottawa Senators.

The Senators announced that the deal has games played, time-on-ice and playoff bonuses that could earn Oduya another $1,250,000. Oduya skated in 52 games with Dallas and Chicago last season, while chipping in two goals and nine points. He will turn 36 before the start of the 2017-18 campaign and doesn't bring much to the table in terms of fantasy value. Still, Oduya can block shots and log around 20 minutes per game if called upon.

Jets agree to one-year deal with Hellebuyck

Connor Hellebuyck has avoided going to arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract with the Winnipeg Jets.

Hellebuyck's hearing was scheduled for August 1, but the two sides were expected to work something out beforehand. Hellebuyck's new deal has an annual average value of $2.25 million. He posted a 26-19-4 record with a 2.89 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage last year. Winnipeg signed Steve Mason in the off-season to help mentor Hellebuyck in 2017-18. Mason could see the bulk of the playing time, but Hellebuyck will try to push him for starts.

Preds lock Viktor Arvidsson up for 7 years

Viktor Arvidsson has signed a seven-year, $29.75 million contract extension with the Nashville Predators.

That works out to be a $4.25 million annual cap hit. Arvidsson was a restricted free agent that had filed for arbitration. He had 31 goals and 61 points in 80 contests last season, so based on that performance this new deal could be an incredible steal. However, Arvidsson doesn't have a history to back those numbers up, so there is a danger that he could regress dramatically. In other words, the Predators are taking a risk here, but it's not a bad one to take.

Jordan Martinook, Yotes sign 2-year contract

Jordan Martinook has signed a two-year, $3.6 million contract with the Arizona Coyotes.

Martinook's agent said that the two sides were "close" to a contract extension on Friday, so this agreement doesn't come as a surprise. This makes the arbitration hearing scheduled for Wednesday moot. He had 11 goals and 25 points in 77 games last season.

Detroit signs Tomas Tatar to four-year deal

Tomas Tatar has signed a four-year, $21.2 million contract extension with the Detroit Red Wings.

The two sides really waited until the last minute. Tatar and the Red Wings already went through their arbitration hearing, but because the arbitrator hadn't ruled yet, there was still a small window left for them to reach a compromise on their own. Tatar will come with a $5.3 million cap hit as a result of this deal. Based on previous reports, Detroit had offered Tatar a five-year, $25 million deal, but he rejected it as he was seeking $6 million to $7 million annually for six or seven years. It seems that the compromise was ultimately to agree to something with a shorter term. He had 25 goals and 46 points in 82 contests last season.

Senators avoid arbitration with Ryan Dzingel

Ryan Dzingel has signed a two-year, $3.6 million contract with the Ottawa Senators.

Dzingel and Ottawa have managed to avoid an arbitration hearing. They had already reached the point where the two sides had to file salary requests with Dzingel asking for $1.95 million for the 2017-18 campaign and Ottawa countering at $1 million. He had 14 goals and 32 points in 81 contests last season.

Wings, Tatar can't avoid arbitration hearing

The Detroit Red Wings and Tomas Tatar weren't able to avoid an arbitration hearing.

Tatar and the Red Wings have consequently had to make their case to an arbitrator, who will name Tatar's salary within the next 48 hours. Tatar's requested salary was $5.3 million and Detroit countered with $4.1 million, but the arbitrator has the power to determine a middle ground as well. He's eligible to become an unrestricted free agent next summer and did suggest that if it came to the point where a hearing was necessary then the 2017-18 campaign would likely be his last season with Detroit. The two sides will be able to begin negotiations on a long-term deal in January though. If he's still not signed to an extension by the trade deadline then it wouldn't be surprising to see Detroit trade him.

Colton Parayko signs 5-year/$27.5M contract

Colton Parayko and the St. Louis Blues have agreed to a five-year, $27.5 million contract extension.

Parayko would have had an arbitration hearing on Thursday, so this last minute deal renders that moot. He was coming off his entry-level contract, but this big raise is well deserved. He's established himself as a top-four defenseman in his first two NHL campaigns and has contributed offensively with 13 goals and 68 points in 160 career games. If the 24-year-old continues to develop then this will be a great contract for the Blues. As it is it already looks like a good price for Parayko.
