Wes Goldstein's take: The Penguins did an impressive job filling voids with forwards Miroslav Satan and Ruslan Fedotenko and they saved a fair amount of money doing so ... The Flyers did have to plug some holes this summer by adding forwards Aaron Asham and Glen Metropolit and defenseman Ossi Vaananen. ... The Rangers brought down the curtain on the Jaromir Jagr era and then reverted to old habits by signing expensive veterans Wade Redden and Markus Naslund ... Chemistry wasn't a problem in New Jersey last season under rookie coach Brent Sutter, but scoring was. It is an area the Devils hope they addressed successfully by adding Brian Rolston ... The Islanders, whose offense was among the worst in the NHL, threw a $20 million multiyear deal at defenseman Mark Streit and signed Doug Weight for one year. Full Story

Keep an eye on: Brian Gionta, RWThe Devils have not gotten much of a return on the three-year, $12 million deal they gave Gionta in 2006. The winger, who has not topped the 25-goal plateau since scoring 40 in 2005-06, is up for a new contract next summer. |

Keep an eye on: Chris Drury, CDrury is just one of two of New York's top five goal scorers left from last season. A candidate to take over as the Rangers' captain, Drury is expected to join the first or second line, where he'll have a greater impact. |

Keep an eye on: Simon Gagne, LWThe Flyers attempt at creating a new French Connection between Gagne and Daniel Briere lasted just 25 games last season. With Gagne in top shape since suffering a concussion, Philadelphia will get another shot at pairing their top threats. |
