Edmonton Oilers
The Oilers snagged a very highly thought after defenceman Justin Schultz who had 28 of the 30 NHL teams trying to sign the College player to a contract. He played 121 games over the last three seasons with the University of Wisconsin and scored 40 goals and 73 assists with 113 points and is the hope for the Oilers getting a defenseman that make that lead pass to the forwards and maybe help put up more team goals and victories. The Oilers have resigned Ryan Smyth for next season and hopefully to bring some more leadership in the Oilers locker room.
Vancouver Canucks
Canucks replaced Sami Salo, who signed as a free agent with the Tampa Bay Lightening, with former Panthers defenceman Jason Garrison who had two and a half seasons seasons with the Panthers and had 59 points in 189 games. The Canucks signed him to a 6 year/27.6 million dollars and the Canucks who signed Cory Schneider to a 3 year/12 million dollar deal and are looking like they are still trying to trade away Roberto Luongo.
Calgary Flames
Calgary Flames once again have gone and burned themselves again by signing a defenceman for big bucks as they signed Dennis Wideman to a 5 year/26.25 million dollars. He hopefully not be the next Dion Phaneuf (6 years/39 millions) or JAY BOUWMEESTER (5 years/33.4 million dollars) who after signing their deals became shells of themselves from what they were before signing those contract as Phaneuf did not last very much longer in Calgary as he was traded to Toronto within a year and a half while BOUWMEESTER point totals have gone down since joining the Flames.
More free agents to sign
