Chiasson - who was expected to be traded during the NHL draft - heads to Calgary after a disappointing second season with the Senators, where he recorded just eight goals and six assists in 77 games.
A pending restricted free agent, the 25-year-old also reportedly signed a one-year contract with the Flames worth $800,000 after making $1.2 million last season, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.
He will be reunited with head coach Greg Gulutzan, who coached Chiasson during the forward's first NHL season with the Dallas Stars in 2012-13.
Sieloff, a 2012 second-round pick, scored a goal in his NHL debut last season with the Flames. The 6-foot-1 blue-liner spent the rest of the season with the AHL's Stockton Heat, recording 11 points in 52 games.
EDMONTON - The Edmonton Oilers have signed winger Iiro Pakarinen to a one-year contract.
The 24-year-old registered 13 points (five, eight assists) and eight penalty minutes in 63 games with the Oilers last season.
The six-foot-one, 215-po...
Justin Schultz has been made available on the open market.
Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford has declined to extend the $3.9-million qualifying offer required to protect Schultz's rights, making the puck-moving defenseman an unrestricted free agent July 1.
The Penguins could still retain Schultz at a more suitable price on the open market, but will have to compete with other teams and offers.
Schultz, 25, was acquired from the Edmonton Oilers for a third-round pick before the trade deadline. He appeared in 15 postseason games, including all six in the Stanley Cup Final.
After a postseason where a number of young goaltenders stole the spotlight, it's hard to imagine that many teams will be looking to give up on their young netminders this summer.
But with a number of restricted free agents due for a raise next season, some teams may be willing to move one of their goalies via trade - while hoping they don't become the next Martin Jones.
After Mike Smith was forced out of the lineup following core muscle surgery in December, Domingue kept the Coyotes' early-season playoff aspirations alive into the new year, earning Rookie of the Month honors in January after posting a 6-3-2 record with a .925 save percentage.
Despite a significant dip in form the rest of the season, the 24-year-old should be eyeing a one-way deal for next season. New general manager John Chayka is more likely than not to re-sign Domingue as a backup - unless he seeks an upgrade from elsewhere.
Darcy Kuemper
After Devan Dubnyk was rewarded with a six-year contract last offseason, Kuemper's future with the Wild looked increasingly uncertain, and GM Chuck Fletcher has gone on to say that trading the 26-year-old will be considered during the offseason.
While he is yet to prove he can hold down a starting job - never appearing in more than 31 games - Kuemper may be a more affordable option for teams eyeing a new backup. The netminder has already received a qualifying offer from the Wild after making $1.5 million last season.
Petr Mrazek
The least likely to move out of the listed netminders, Mrazek solidified himself as the goaltender of the future in Motown, forcing Jimmy Howard and his remaining three years and $15 million of his contract onto the trade block.
Mrazek's 27 wins led all RFA goaltenders, and the 24-year-old received Vezina consideration early in the season. His contract length and value may depend on the team's ability to move Howard, but the Red Wings are in a much better financial situation after moving Pavel Datsyuk's contract to Arizona.
Calvin Pickard
With almost $18 million committed to Semyon Varlamov over the next three seasons, the Avalanche face a tough decision after Pickard posted a .929 save percentage over the final three months of the season.
The 24-year-old recently won gold with Canada at the World Championship, allowing just one goal over a pair of starts, and he may follow in Canadian teammate Cam Talbot's footsteps this summer, in being rewarded with a starting job after an offseason trade.
Brodziak appeared in 76 games for St. Louis last season, chipping in seven goals, including three shorthanded, and 11 points.
The bottom-six center also appeared in 20 postseason games.
Brodziak is the second low-profile free agent the Blues signed last summer able to parlay a modest investment into a multi-year tenure. Scottie Upshall agreed to a one-year agreement last week after making last year's squad on a professional tryout.
Miller was reduced to 28 games with a torn meniscus, finishing his seventh season with the Red Wings with just one goal and one assist.
With the Red Wings in transition, and more and more young talent coming into the system, the fourth-line forward and reliable penalty killer will be counted on to provide those stabilizing ancillary contributions.
Detroit retains almost $18 million in available cap space with Pavel Datsyuk's contract being housed in Arizona.
The Toronto Maple Leafs netminder, who has settled for a pair of short-term contracts since his acquisition three years ago, admitted Monday that he didn't anticipate management's eagerness to invest so decisively in incoming partner Frederik Andersen.
"I wasn't surprised on the trade to get another goalie," Bernier told ESPN's Pierre LeBrun. "I was expecting it obviously with the season I had last year. I'm sure I put some doubts in a lot of people's minds. That's the business, right? You got to win and you got to prove that you're consistent and you're a good goalie to stay in this league. So I wasn't surprised.
"Maybe a little surprised on the long-term contract, but that's the way it works."
Andersen secured a reported five-year, $25-million deal, and was labeled the No. 1 starter by general manager Lou Lamoriello almost instantly after his acquisition from the Anaheim Ducks.
With one year remaining on his contract though, Bernier hasn't yet put one foot out the door.
"I will be ready. It's not something where because of the trade I'm bitter or anything like that. It actually pushed me harder to come ready. I want to play as many games as possible. Obviously I can't control how many I will, but if I play well and I win, at least I'm doing my job."
Bernier had a tragic start to his tenure under Mike Babcock, helping secure one point for the Maple Leafs through his first nine starts. He was, however, relatively effective over the final four months, stopping pucks at a .920 clip.
He told LeBrun that he hasn't spoken to Leafs management since his exit meeting.
It will cost the Canucks a little more than $833,333 for the next two seasons to shed Higgins, who's entering the final season of his four-year contract, but the transaction will see them retain $1.66 million to spend this season.
Higgins cleared waivers last season, allowing for Vancouver to bury him in the minors for a large portion of the season.
He was recalled in March, and finished the year with three goals and one assist in 33 games.
Should Higgins clear and be bought out of his contract, he will be free to sign on with another club while continuing to receive payment from the Canucks.
Vancouver can be well involved in the free-agent market this summer with more than $10 million in available cap space.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Nashville Predators have signed forward Filip Forsberg to a six-year, $36 million contract, locking up one of their brightest young stars long term.
Forsberg will make $6 million each of the next six seasons. Under term...
The pending free-agency period once again opens doors for one of the league's most rare and exciting of transactions: the offer sheet.
This season's crop of restricted free agents is strong and with that, the idea of forcing a team's hand and plucking a player from another team's roster once again arises.
It appears almost impossible that the team will be able to reel in all of these players. A decent-sized contract might either force the Lightning to let Kucherov go or agree to a deal, which in turn could free up one of their many RFAs or UFAs.
Seth Jones
Seth Jones is coming off his entry-level contract and is due for a raise.
The Columbus Blue Jackets have just over $3 million in cap space, according to GeneralFanager.com, and have restricted free agent William Karlsson to deal with along with Jones. On top of that, if the draft goes as expected, the Blue Jackets will also need to sign their first-round pick (likely forward Jesse Puljujarvi).
Forward Scott Hartnell has reportedly given the club a list of teams in which he's willing to waive his no movement clause - which could free up some money - but if not, the club could be in tough to ink Jones to a contract.
Chris Kreider
Sportsnet's John Shannon surprised many at this weekend's draft by suggesting the New York Rangers could be among many NHL clubs vying for Steven Stamkos in the coming week.
In order to make a run at the Lightning captain, the Rangers must shed salary.
Given such a predicament and with that possibility in mind, a team could use that as a prime time to offer sheet pending restricted forward Chris Kreider.
Kreider is one of four restricted free-agents alongside J.T. Miller, Kevin Hayes, and Dylan McIlrath that the team must contend with. The Rangers currently have just seven forwards under contract from last season's roster and will need to fill out positions.
Kreider - at just 25 years of age - has hit back-to-back 21-goal campaigns and at the right price could be too costly for the Rangers, if they are indeed serious about Stamkos.
Tomas Hertl
Tomas Hertl is coming off his most productive season since his impressive, yet injury-plagued rookie campaign.
The 22-year-old hit the 20-goal mark for the first time and added 25 assists for 46 points. While his production was not as high as some have come to expect since he stepped into the league, he has proven to be more than just a one-trick pony, playing a strong all-around game.
With many roster spots to be filled and only so much cap to do so, an offer sheet could be too much juggling for Doug Wilson.
However, interested teams must act fast as TSN's Bob McKenzie reported this week, the Sharks have begun preliminary talks with Hertl on a team deal.
Mike Hoffman
While the Ottawa Senators boast a lot of cap room to get a deal done with Mike Hoffman, it could be the club's ownership that creates the biggest hurtle.
The Senators have roughly $17.5 million in cap space with Cody Ceci as the only other restricted free agent who could attract a sizable contract.
However, Hoffman's last contract showed that management is wary of committing to the 26-year-old despite his goal-scoring prowess. Ownership has also made it clear that it's not willing to spend to the cap and a decent-sized contract could do that.
So, depending on how strict ownership sticks to that, Hoffman might be worth offer sheeting.
