The Ottawa Senators have signed forward Alex Kovalev to a 2-year, $10 million contract. Brochu's take: At $5 million, that's a bit pricey. And this certainly spells the end of Dany Heatley in Ottawa. GM Bryan Murray has a bit of work this summer to get under the cap.

The New York Rangers have re-signed forward Chris Higgins to a 1-year, $2.25 million contract.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed defenseman Francois Beauchemin to a 3-year, $11.4 million contract.
