Canadiens sign Michael Frolik

Montreal Canadiens: The Canadiens have signed forward Michael Frolik to a one-year deal at $750,000.

Eric Engels: “Initial thought on Frolik, a lefty who plays right wing, is the Canadiens are buying some serviceable NHL depth at a very cheap price. Still, given they’re over the cap, wonder if this move would’ve happened without being permitted to carry a taxi squad.

Don’t know that it’s a precursor to something else happening, but it’s possible.”

Predators sign Erik Haula

Chris Johnston: The Nashville Predators have signed forward Erik Haula to a one-year deal worth $1.75 million.

David Pagnotta: Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald on the Blackwood signing: “Mackenzie is going to be one of the key young, core pieces for this organization for a long time and we are excited and extremely happy to have him under contract. He’s obviously shown that he can be a number one goalie, and the sky’s the limit for him.”
