NHL free agent signings for July 14, 2008

The New York Rangers have traded forward Ryan Hollweg to the Toronto Maple Leafs for a 5th round pick in 2009.

The New York Islanders have fired coach Ted Nolan. Nolan had one year left on his contract. GM Garth Snow cited "philosophical differences" as the reason he was let go. Brochu's take: "Philosophical differences" means the two didn't like each other. Nolan is a talented coach, but he seems to get on the wrong side of GMs. Will another team give a chance, perhaps a young team like LA?

The Dallas Stars have signed coach Dave Tippett to a two-year extension.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have re-signed goalie Mike Smith to a two-year, $4.4 million contract extension that begins in 2009-2010.

The St. Louis Blues have resigned Jay McClement to a one-year, $950,000 deal.

The San Jose Sharks have signed forwards Tom Cavanagh and Brad Staubitz to one-year contracts.

The Columbus Blue Jackets have re-signed forward Derek MacKenzie to a two-year contract.

The Nashville Predators have signed forward Joel Ward to a one-year contract.

The Carolina Hurricanes have signed centers Patrick Dwyer and Joe Jensen and defenseman Mark Flood to one-year contracts.

Ruutu on the block, Phaneuf signs?

The Chicago Daily Herald is reporting that centre Tuomo Ruutu could be attractive to many teams at the trade deadline. Ruutu could use a change of scenery and many teams would be interested in a gritty, offensive centreman. Source

There are rumors that the Calgary Flames have signed defenseman Dion Phaneuf to a 6 year, $39 million contract extension. Nothing official has been confirmed, but there is speculation that the contract contains a no trade clause that will kick in in the 5th year of the contract.

Darren Dreger of TSN is reporting on his blog that the Calgary Flames and Florida Panthers have been talking about trading Olli Jokinen, but the Panthers want Alex Tanguay and a young player or prospect.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired forward David Gove from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for forward Joe Jensen. Source

Various sources are reporting that the Nashville Predators have signed forward Jordin Tootoo to a two year, $1.95 million contract extension. There are also rumours that J.P. Dumont has been signed to a 4 year, $16 million contract extension.

Jeff O'Neill has been practicing with the OHL Barrie Colts and could be signing with a team this year. While he didn’t say whether there were currently any NHL clubs beating a path to his door, he feels something may happen soon. “I’m just going to skate here maybe until the (Feb. 28 NHL trade) deadline, and maybe a decision will come then,” O’Neill said.
