The Calgary Flames have signed restricted free agent forward Ryan O'Reilly to a two-year, $5 million offer sheet. The Flames would have to send the Colorado Avalanche their 1st and 3rd round draft picks in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. The Avs have subsequently matched the offer sheet. Brochu's take: A very interesting 24 hours in this "ROR" saga. It's also believed if that had the Avs NOT matched, ROR would have to go through waivers.
The Philadelphia Flyers have placed goalie Michael Leighton and forward Tom Sestito on waivers. Sestito has been claimed by the Vancouver Canucks.
The Dallas Stars have placed forward Tom Wandell on waivers.
The Vancouver Canucks have placed forward Aaron Volpatti on waivers. Volpatti has been claimed by the Washington Capitals.
The Nashville Predators have traded forward Brian McGrattan to the Calgary Flames in exchange for defenseman Joe Piskula.
