- Detroit Red Wings: The Red Wings have re-signed RFA Tomas Tatar to a three-year contract.
- Helene St. James: Tatar will carry a $2.75 million salary cap hit.
Danny DeKeyser is the lone RFA remaining for the Red Wings. A decision on if Daniel Alfredsson will play next season is expected next month. Remaining UFAs in Mikael Samuelsson and Todd Bertuzzi likely won’t be returning.
- Toronto Maple Leafs: The Maple have signed UFA Daniel Winnik to a one-year contract.
- Craig Custance: Winnik will have a $1.3 million salary/cap hit.
Winnik is coming off a two-year deal worth $1.8 million per season.
The Leafs now have 16 forwards on NHL contracts for next season. Jake Gardiner (RFA) is their only remaining free agent.
Leafs fans will like him as long as you don’t expect 30+ points. He’s not going to wow you with his offense.
Scrappy player. Plays hard. Skates hard. I wouldn’t call him a hard hitter but he hits … Will do well with Carlyle.
