Other notable moves

The following moves that occurred before 12 PM Eastern Time on July 1, 2024

Jake Guentzel to the Lightning: After the Carolina Hurricanes traded his signing rights, Guentzel signed with the Tampa Bay Lightning. He received a seven-year contract from the Bolts with an average annual value of $9 million. This move likely means veteran forward Steven Stamkos will sign elsewhere in NHL Free Agency.

Sam Reinhart signs in Florida: Things went down to the wire between the Florida Panthers and Sam Reinhart. However, they got a deal done before NHL Free Agency opened. Reinhart has signed an eight-year contract worth a little more than $8.5 million a season.

Showtime in Hockeytown: After months of negotiations, Patrick Kane remained with the Detroit Red Wings. He signed a one-year contract that carries a max value of $6.25 million based on performance bonuses. This move keeps Kane in Hockeytown after a resurgent season in 2023-24.

Max Domi gets paid: Max Domi signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs to bet on himself this past season. The bet certainly paid off if his new contract is any indication. Domi has signed a four-year extension with Toronto worth nearly $4 million annually.

Lightning clear cap space: The Tampa Bay Lightning made major moves at the 2024 NHL Draft to clear cap space. They traded defenseman Mikhail Sergachev to the Utah Hockey Club in a stunning blockbuster. Then, they traded forward Tanner Jeannot to the Los Angeles Kings.

Utah reshapes blueline: In addition to the Sergachev trade, the NHL's newest franchise continued to build its defense. Utah HC swung a deal with the New Jersey Devils for John Marino at the NHL Draft. And they signed Sean Durzi to a four-year extension before NHL Free Agency on Monday.

Capitals work the trade market: The Washington Capitals have been incredibly busy on the trade market. They have acquired Pierre-Luc Dubois, Andrew Mangiapane, and Logan Thompson in separate trades. Additionally, they traded fourth-line winger Beck Malenstyn to the Buffalo Sabres.

Canucks clear cap spaceThe Vancouver Canucks cleared a bit of cap space before NHL Free Agency on Monday. They traded forwards Ilya Mikheyev, Sam Lafferty, and a second-round pick to the Chicago Blackhawks. With this space, Vancouver re-signed Dakota Joshua, Tyler Myers, and Teddy Blueger.

Red Wings wheel and deal: The Detroit Red Wings kicked off the post-Stanley Cup Final frenzy with two interesting trades. They acquired a second-round pick from the Nashville Predators in a deal involving a prospect swap. Then, Detroit packaged that second-round pick with defenseman Jake Walman in a trade with the San Jose Sharks for future considerations.

Devils land their goalie: The New Jersey Devils fired the first major shot of the NHL offseason. New Jersey acquired goaltender Jacob Markstrom from the Calgary Flames. Calgary received defenseman Kevin Bahl and a 2025 first-round pick from the Devils in return.
