Boston Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman was awarded a one-year contract worth $3.48 million in arbitration, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports.

The Bruins had filed at $2 million, while Swayman's camp came in at $4.8 million. The award is $75,000 more than the middle of the two amounts. Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Ilya Samsonov received a $3.55-million salary in arbitration on July 23.

Boston had the option of choosing a two-year contract in arbitration, according to PuckPedia. Swayman will be a restricted free agent next summer.

Swayman's coming off an entry-level contract that carried a cap hit of $925,000.

The 24-year-old posted a .920 save percentage and a 2.27 goals against average in 37 games last season. Alongside Linus Ullmark, he won the William M. Jennings Trophy.

Boston opted to start Swayman instead of Ullmark in Game 7 of the first round against the Florida Panthers. He allowed four goals on 31 shots in the overtime loss.

Swayman turned pro in 2020 after a stellar tenure at the University of Maine, where he won the Mike Richter Award as the NCAA's best goaltender in his final season. Over three NHL seasons, he's compiled a 54-23-7 record and a .920 SV% in 88 games.

The Anchorage, Alaska, native has started six playoff games with the Bruins. He took the starting job from Ullmark in Game 3 of the 2022 first round against the Carolina Hurricanes. He went 3-2 with a .911 SV% but ultimately came up short with a 3-2 loss in Game 7.

Internationally, Swayman has represented the United States twice. He was a third-string netminder at the 2018 world juniors and started for the U.S. at the 2022 World Championship.

The Bruins had $3.1 million of cap space prior to the signing, according to CapFriendly.

The Boston Bruins signed forward Trent Frederic to a two-year contract with an average annual value of $2.3 million, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports.

Frederic, 25, set career highs with 17 goals and 31 points in 79 games last season. He failed to register a point in five playoff contests.

The two sides were set for an arbitration hearing Tuesday. Frederic's camp came in at $2.9 million for one year, while the Bruins filed at $2.8 million over two seasons, according to Friedman.

Frederic will be an unrestricted free agent at the expiration of the contract. He's coming off a two-year contract signed in 2021 that carried a cap hit of $1.05 million.

He accrued 29 goals and 54 points in 198 total games with Boston over five seasons. The Bruins drafted him 29th overall in 2016.

The St. Louis native was the most penalized player in the 2019-20 AHL season, racking up 148 penalty minutes in 59 contests. He's accumulated 194 PIM in the NHL.

Boston has $3.1 million of cap space after the signing, according to CapFriendly. Jeremy Swayman is the Bruins' only restricted free agent left unsigned.

The Minnesota Wild announced Monday that they signed goaltender Filip Gustavsson to a three-year contract with an average annual value of $3.75 million.

The two sides were scheduled for arbitration Friday. Gustavsson is coming off of a two-year contract that carried a $787,500 cap hit.

His new deal features a five-team no-trade clause in the final year of the contract, according to PuckPedia. He'll be an unrestricted free agent in 2026.

The 25-year-old posted a 22-9-7 record and a 2.10 goals against average last season. His .931 save percentage ranked second among goaltenders with over 10 NHL appearances.

In the playoffs, Gustavsson had a .921 SV% in five starts, including a spectacular 51-save performance in the Wild's Game 1 double overtime win against the Dallas Stars. The only postseason game he didn't start was Game 2, which went to Marc-Andre Fleury. Gustavsson was pulled following the second period in Game 6 after allowing three goals on 26 shots.

Minnesota acquired Gustavsson from the Ottawa Senators in 2022 in a straight swap with Cam Talbot. He's played 66 games over three seasons split between the two clubs and has a career .920 SV%.

The Pittsburgh Penguins drafted the Swede 55th overall in 2016. He was shipped to the Senators in 2018 as part of the Derick Brassard trade.

Internationally, Gustavsson has played for Sweden at every level. He was named the best goaltender at the 2016 U18s and 2018 world juniors. He won gold at the 2018 World Championships as Sweden's third-string netminder, and silver at the world juniors, U18s, and Hlinka Gretzky Cup as starter.

The Wild have $1.6 million in cap space after the signing, according to CapFriendly. Calen Addison is the last restricted free agent yet to sign.

The Anaheim Ducks and forward Troy Terry have a $3.5-million gap to overcome in arbitration, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports.

Terry's camp reportedly filed at $8 million, while the Ducks came in at $4.5 million.

The 25-year-old winger finished the season tied for the team lead in goals (23) and second in points (61) over 70 games. He represented Anaheim at the All-Star Game for the second straight year.

Terry broke out offensively during the 2021-22 campaign with 37 goals and 67 points. He's coming off of a three-year contract signed in 2020 that carried a $1.45-million cap hit.

He has accrued 75 goals and 176 points in 274 games with the Ducks. Terry turned pro in 2018 after a productive three-year tenure at the University of Denver. Anaheim drafted him 148th overall in 2015.

The Ducks have $27 million in cap space, according to CapFriendly, and still have to sign restricted free agents Trevor Zegras and Jamie Drysdale.

The Arizona Coyotes announced Sunday that they signed forward Jack McBain to a two-year contract.

The annual average value is $1.6 million, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports.

McBain's arbitration hearing was set for Sunday. His camp filed at $2.25 million for the season, while the Coyotes countered at $2.4 million over two years, according to Friedman.

The 23-year-old accrued 12 goals and 26 points in 82 games last season with the Coyotes as a rookie.

"We are very pleased to sign Jack to a new contract," Coyotes general manager Bill Armstrong said in a statement. "He's a big, strong, physical center who led our team in hits last season and contributed offensively. We look forward to having him back on our roster this season."

McBain played four seasons at Boston College before turning pro after the 2021-22 season. The Coyotes acquired his signing rights in March 2022 from the Minnesota Wild for a 2022 second-round pick.

The Toronto native represented Canada at the 2022 Olympics, where he tallied a goal and two points in five contests. McBain recorded two goals and four points in 10 games en route to a gold medal at the World Championships in May.

Arizona had $8.7 million of cap space prior to the signing, according to CapFriendly. This doesn't include cap hits for Shea Weber, Jakub Voracek, or Bryan Little, who are eligible to be placed on long-term injured reserve.

The Boston Bruins and Jeremy Swayman are $2.8 million apart ahead of the goaltender's arbitration hearing Sunday, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Swayman's camp filed at $4.8 million, while the Bruins are coming in at $2 million. The two sides can still come to terms on a new contract prior to the start of Sunday's hearing.

The 24-year-old is coming off of an entry-level contract signed in 2020. Swayman posted a .920 save percentage in 37 games last season, sharing the William M. Jennings Trophy with Linus Ullmark.

Swayman started over Ullmark in the Bruins' pivotal Game 7 against the Florida Panthers in the first round. He made 27 saves on 31 shots in Boston's 4-3 overtime loss.

In 88 games over three seasons, Swayman has a sparkling 54-23-7 record and a career .920 save percentage. He was named to the All-Rookie Team in 2022.

Swayman won the Mike Richter Award as the NCAA's top goaltender in 2020 while playing at the University of Maine. He played for the United States at the 2018 world juniors and the 2022 World Championship.

The Bruins have $5.4 million of cap space, according to CapFriendly. Swayman and fellow restricted free agent Trent Frederic have yet to be signed.

Tony DeAngelo is finally rejoining the Carolina Hurricanes.

The Hurricanes signed DeAngelo to a one-year, $1.675-million contract, the team announced Monday. DeAngelo was bought out by the Philadelphia Flyers and became an unrestricted free agent on July 15.

DeAngelo was expected to be traded to the Hurricanes in June, but the transaction fell through. That deal included the Flyers retaining 50% of DeAngelo's $5-million cap hit.

The 27-year-old defenseman returns to Carolina just one season after being traded by the Hurricanes for three draft picks. DeAngelo tallied 11 goals and 42 points in 70 contests with the Flyers after scoring 10 goals and 51 points in 64 games with Carolina the year prior.

DeAngelo's tenure in Philadelphia was tumultuous. He was scratched for the final five games of the season, and head coach John Tortorella publicly criticized his defensive game in February.

His 93 points over the past two seasons rank 27th among blue-liners. At the other end of the rink, DeAngelo's minus-15.1 defensive goals above replacement ranked worst league-wide in 2022-23, according to Evolving-Hockey.

In 2021, DeAngelo was bought out by the New York Rangers after a skirmish with former teammate Alexandar Georgiev. He was drafted 19th overall by the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2014.

The Dallas Stars signed general manager Jim Nill to a two-year contract extension through the 2025-26 season, the team announced Monday.

Nill was named General Manager of the Year at the draft in June. The 65-year-old has been at the helm of the Stars for 10 seasons and is the longest-serving GM in franchise history.

"Jim has proven himself to be one of the best general managers in the NHL," Stars owner Tom Gaglardi said. "He has meticulously built a team through free agency, trades, and the NHL draft that's among the best in the league while also ensuring that the Stars are championship contenders for years to come."

Dallas has made the postseason six times in Nill's tenure, reaching the conference finals in 2020 and 2023. The Stars lost the Stanley Cup Final to the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2020.

"I'm fortunate to have an incredible team of individuals alongside me that have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to help build our team into what it is today," Nill said. "I'm excited to continue my work in developing a winning culture and reaching our shared goal of winning the Stanley Cup."

Prior to joining the Stars, Nill spent 19 seasons with the Detroit Red Wings as a director of player development and assistant GM, where he won four Stanley Cups. His front-office career began in 1991 as a pro scout with the Ottawa Senators after a 524-game NHL career as a player.

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Ilya Samsonov was awarded a one-year contract worth $3.55 million in arbitration, the team announced Sunday.

Samsonov, 26, played 42 games with the Maple Leafs in 2022-23, posting a .919 save percentage and a 2.33 goals-against average. The Russian had a cap hit of $1.8 million last season after the Washington Capitals didn't tender him a qualifying offer.

The Maple Leafs filed at $2.4 million, while Samsonov was at $4.9 million, according to Friedman. The arbitrator's award is $100,000 less than the middle of the two filings.

Samsonov has played 131 games in the NHL with a career save percentage of .908. He was drafted 22nd overall by the Capitals in 2015 and played three seasons in Washington.

Toronto has goaltenders Matt Murray ($4.6875-million cap hit) and Joseph Woll ($766,667) already on one-way contracts.

Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson shed light on his possible landing spot.

The 33-year-old confirmed to Adam Johansson from Swedish outlet Expressen that he's spoken with the Carolina Hurricanes, Pittsburgh Penguins, Seattle Kraken, and Toronto Maple Leafs, among other teams.

Karlsson, who's seeking a trade from the San Jose Sharks, has already spoken about his interest in joining a contending team. He tallied a career-high 25 goals and 101 points in 82 games during a resurgent campaign last season. Karlsson also led the Sharks in scoring and captured his third Norris Trophy.

The Hurricanes, Kraken, Maple Leafs, and Penguins have been the primary teams reportedly interested in Karlsson. The Athletic's Rob Rossi reported in July that Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang endorsed Kyle Dubas' pursuit of Karlsson.

"I just want the best chance to get to the best team," Karlsson said, according to TSN's translation of his interview in Swedish.

Complicating a trade is Karlsson's massive $11.5-million cap hit, full no-move clause, and four years remaining on his contract.

Only the Anaheim Ducks and Chicago Blackhawks could bring in Karlsson's full salary without a subsequent move to clear cap space, according to CapFriendly's projections. Of the teams Karlsson confirmed he's spoken with, the Hurricanes have the most room to work with at just $2.5 million.
