The Colorado Avalanche have signed free-agent forward Joe Colborne to a two-year, $5-million contract, reports TSN's Darren Dreger.

A former first-round pick, 16th overall in 2008, Colborne exploded in a big way last season, scoring 19 goals and adding 25 assists in 73 games for the Calgary Flames. He hit the market after he wasn't tendered a qualifying offer.

A center, Colborne will turn 27 in January. His previous career highs in goals and points were 10 and 28.

The Washington Capitals have added even more depth to their forward crop, signing Brett Connolly to a one-year contract worth $850,000, according to TSN's Gord Miller.

The former first-round draft pick will join the Capitals after a disappointing first full season with the Boston Bruins.

Connolly contributed just nine goals and 25 points in a career-high 71 games.

The Montreal Canadiens have come to terms with Zach Redmond, signing the defenseman to a two-year contract worth $1.225 million, the club announced.

The 27-year-old spent last season split between the Colorado Avalanche and their AHL affiliate, the San Antonio Rampage. He collected six points in 37 games with Colorado.

Redmond will likely slot in as a depth defenseman with the Canadiens and could prove to be valuable as a right-handed shot.

Dan Hamhuis' tenure with the Vancouver Canucks is over.

The Dallas Stars have signed the defenseman to a two-year, $7.5-million contract, according to multiple reports.

The 33-year-old spent the last six seasons at the top of Vancouver's defensive depth chart, and although he's recently battled injuries, Hamhuis is confident he can return to the form that earned him a spot on Canada's 2014 Olympic team.

He joins a formidable defensive corps in Dallas that features John Klingberg, Johnny Oduya, and Jordie Benn.

Prior to scoring only 13 points in 58 games last season, Hamhuis registered 10 consecutive seasons of 20-plus points, and should benefit from an offensive boost in a potent Stars lineup.

Radulov will join the recently-acquired Shea Weber in Montreal, who served as team captain during his tenure with the Predators.
