The Hurricanes sign Paul Stastny
Chris Johnston: The Carolina Hurricanes have signed free agent forward Paul Stastny to a one-year deal worth $1.5 million.
Puck Pedia: Stastny will have a $1.5 million salary and a $500,000 bonus if they win the Stanley Cup. He has a no-trade clause.
Puck Pedia: After the Stastny signing, the Hurricanes are now projected to be $2.6 million over the salary cap with a 23-man roster – 14 forwards, seven defensemen and two goaltenders.
Luke DeCock: “Hurricanes play the UFA waiting game and Stastny’s $1.5m fits neatly into the cap relief the Hurricanes will get while Pacioretty is out. Some veteran center depth to be less reliant on Kotkaniemi/Drury is a nice luxury.”
Ducks loan Calle Clang to the SHL

Ryan Ellis doubtful to start the season with the Flyers
Adam Kimelman of NHL.com: Philadelphia Flyers coach John Tortorella said that defenseman Ryan Ellis could miss the start of the season.
“If you’re asking me right now, I doubt it.”
Tortorella added that he’s spoken with Ellis several times this offseason.
“That’s been an up and down process for him. He’s doing everything he possibly can to get ready for camp, I’m doubtful that’s going to happen.”
