Campbell, Redden, Streit, Rozsival signed

The Chicago Blackhawks have signed defenceman Brian Campbell to an 8-year, $56.8 million contract. Brochu's take: The fact that Brian Campbell will make more money than Scott Niedermayer or Chris Pronger makes me sick in the stomach.

The New York Rangers have signed defenceman Wade Redden to a six-year, $39 million contract. Brochu's take: No wonder he went to the open market. Redden did not play well enough last season to garner this type of salary. But this is the "silly" season for a reason.

The Rangers also re-signed defenseman Michal Rozsival to a four-year, $20 million contract.

The Rangers also re-signed goalie Steve Valiquette. Terms were not disclosed.

The Rangers also signed forward Patrick Rissmiller to an undisclosed deal.

The New York Islanders have signed defenceman Mark Streit to a five-year, $20.5 million contract.

The Tampa Bay Lighting have signed goaltender Olaf Kolzig to a one-year, $1.5 million contract.

The Lightning have also signed forward David Koci to a one-year, two-way deal worth $525,000 in the NHL, $100,000 in the minors.

The Philadelphia Flyers have signed forward Nate Raduns to a one-year contract and forward Glen Metropolit to a two-year deal.

The Flyers also signed defenceman Ossi Vaananen to a one-year, $1 million contract.

The Buffalo Sabres have signed goaltender Patrick Lalime to a two-year, $2 million contract.

The Ottawa Senators have signed goaltender Alex Auld to a two-year, $2 million contract.

NHL and hockey rumors for June 16, 2008

According to Newsday, Alexei Yashin wants to return to the NHL with the New York Islanders. Yashin's agent and GM Garth Snow has had discussions about a contract, but nothing is conclusive at this point. Yashin has a standing contract offer from his Russian team Yaroslavl Lokomotiv for the 2008-2009 season. Brochu's take: Are the Islanders really this desperate for offense? But than again, stranger things have happened...nah, this is much stranger. Source

Swiss reports are indicating that the Montreal Canadiens may be having problems with signing impending UFA Mark Streit. The Chicago Blackhawks, New York Rangers and Philadelphia Flyers have shown interest in the defenseman/forward. Streit's preference is to play for a team's blueline corps. Source

The Boston Bruins, New York Rangers, New Jersey Devils, Toronto Maple Leafs, St. Louis Blues and Chicago Blackhawks are amongst the interested teams. Source
