The Winnipeg Jets have taken a strategic approach to bolster their roster by signing five players to one-year, two-way contracts, each valued at $775,000 in the NHL. The new additions include forwards Phil Di Giuseppe, Walker Duehr, and Samuel Fagemo, as well as defenseman Kale Clague and goaltender Isaac Poulter.

Among these signings, Di Giuseppe stands out with considerable NHL experience, having accumulated 81 points across 302 career games with teams like the Carolina Hurricanes and Vancouver Canucks. Last season, he contributed significantly in the AHL, helping lead the Abbotsford Canucks to a Calder Cup victory. Duehr and Fagemo bring their own NHL experience to the Jets, while Clague adds depth to the defensive lineup. Poulter, despite being a rookie, has shown promise in his previous AHL season, posting solid statistics. The Jets aim to enhance their competitiveness as they navigate the offseason.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have made significant moves this week by signing forwards Anthony Mantha and Rafael Harvey-Pinard along with defenseman Phil Kemp. Mantha, coming off a season with the Calgary Flames, secured a $2.5 million deal, bringing his career totals to 303 points in 507 games. Harvey-Pinard, who played only one game last season, signed for $775,000, while Kemp's two-year deal is worth $1.55 million, despite limited NHL experience.

Mantha had a decent showing last season, scoring four goals and three assists in just 13 games, showcasing his offensive potential. Harvey-Pinard, with 31 points in 82 career games, is looking to carve out a more prominent role, while Kemp hopes to transition from a limited role in Edmonton to a more significant one in Pittsburgh. These signings suggest the Penguins are focused on strengthening their roster with versatile players.

The Calgary Flames are poised to secure a long-term contract for goaltender Dustin Wolf, who has emerged as a cornerstone of the franchise. After an impressive rookie season that saw him as a Calder Trophy finalist, Wolf's value to the team is evident. His maturity and accountability have earned him respect among teammates and management alike.

GM Craig Conroy is keen to lock him up before he becomes a restricted free agent. Given Wolf's proven track record, including overcoming the odds as a seventh-round draft pick, the Flames view him as essential for their future success.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are eyeing a potential reunion with Nazem Kadri, a former player who made a significant impact during his tenure in Toronto. Kadri, who scored over 300 goals in his NHL career, spent 10 seasons with the Maple Leafs and has been an integral part of their offense. After stints in Colorado and Calgary, both sides appear eager to rekindle their relationship, especially given the recent changes in Toronto's lineup. The Maple Leafs have space following Mitch Marner's trade, positioning them well to consider adding a physical influence like Kadri.

Dan Vladar has secured a two-year deal with the Philadelphia Flyers worth $6.7 million, averaging $3.35 million annually. The 27-year-old goalie posted a record of 12 wins, 11 losses, and 6 overtime losses last season, alongside a 2.80 goals-against average and a .898 save percentage with two shutouts in 30 games for the Calgary Flames.

Selected in the 2015 NHL Draft by the Boston Bruins, Vladar brings an overall career record of 49-34-16 with a 3.00 GAA and .895 save percentage across 105 regular-season appearances. His experience also includes participation in two Stanley Cup playoff games. This new contract positions him as a pivotal part of the Flyers' future plans.
