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.
The Leafs also signed 2009 first round pick Nazem Kadri to a 3-year, entry-level contract. They have also re-signed forwards Ben Ondrus and Ryan Hamilton to a one-year contract. The Maple Leafs also signed free agent forwards including Jay Rosehill to a two-year contract and Richard Greenop to a three-year entry level contract.
The Vancouver Canucks have signed goalie Andrew Raycroft. Terms were not disclosed.
The 'Nucks also signed defenseman Shane O'Brien to a one-year, $1.6 million contract.
The Chicago Blackhawks have signed 5 free agents, including right wing Troy Brouwer to a two-year contract, goaltender Corey Crawford to a two-year contract, left wing Ben Eager to a one-year contract, center Colin Fraser to a one-year contact and defenseman Aaron Johnson to a one-year contract.

NHL and hockey rumors for July 16, 2008
Here's an actual rumor report, as opposed to a list of signings. A post about that will be posted tonight.
According to Don Brennan of the Ottawa Sun, there are rumors of a three way trade between the Chicago Blackhawks, Los Angeles Kings and Ottawa Senators. According to "insiders", Ottawa would trade goalie Martin Gerber and defenceman Andrej Meszaros to Los Angeles, the Kings would move forward Anze Kopitar to Chicago and the Blackhawks would send goalie Nikolai Khabibulin and either of defenseman Brent Seabrook or Cam Barker to the Senators. Brochu's take: A rumor that came from the Ottawa Sun and it's not from Bruce Garrioch? It's GOTTA be true! But seriously, this won't happen. Kopitar is part of the youth movement in LA, and Ottawa really doesn't get any better. The likelihood of the Hawks shopping one of their young D-men is well known. Source
There's also a rumor going in Vancouver circles that the Canucks would trade Kevin Bieksa to the Kings for Michal Handzus and a 3rd round pick in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. Brochu's take: Bieksa's been speculated to be"on the block" recently, but this doesn't really make sense from the Canucks part.
The Carolina Hurricanes are rumored to be interested in signing Jeff O'Neill to a two-way contract. It's believed that O'Neill is holding out for a one-way deal.
The Columbus Blue Jackets have traded winger Joakim Lindstrom to the Anaheim Ducks for a conditional pick in the 2009 draft.
The Blackhawks have also signed defensemen Aaron Johnson and Doug Janik to one-year contracts, and re-signed center Colin Fraser to a one-year contract.
