Tierney signed a two-year, $5.875 million contract with the Sharks on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

After originally filing for salary arbitration a couple weeks ago, Tierney and the Sharks were finally able to settle on a number. Tierney is coming off a career season in San Jose, setting career highs in goals with 17 and assists with 23. Tierney will now be making nearly four times what his salary was in 2017-18 as a key offensive weapon off the bench for the Sharks.

Kossila inked a one-year contract with the Ducks on Tuesday.

Kossila will shuffle between the AHL and NHL throughout the upcoming season after agreeing to a two-way contract. In 10 games for the Ducks last year, Kossila recorded two points (one goal, one assist).

Coleman signed a three-year, $5.4 million contract with the Devils on Tuesday, Chris Ryan of NJ Advance Media reports.

After becoming a restricted free agent, Coleman ultimately became arbitration eligible and had a hearing scheduled for July 22. But, with the two sides able to agree on terms with five days to spare, Coleman will avoid having to go through that process. Coleman appeared in 79 games for the Devils last season, recording 13 goals and 12 assists.

Fogarty accepted a qualifying offer for the 2018-19 season with the Rangers on Monday.

Fogarty has just one NHL appearance in his career, logging a couple penalty minutes but held off the scoresheet elsewhere. Over the last two years with AHL Hartford, he's tallied 16 goals and 40 points. If the 25-year-old does crack the NHL roster, he won't have a very productive role in the Rangers forward group.

Henrique signed a five-year, $5.825 AAV contract with the Ducks on Monday, Josh Cooper of The Athletic Los Angeles reports.

Acquired from New Jersey last season, Henrique potted 20 goals and 36 points in just 57 games with Anaheim after the trade. The 28-year-old center has scored 20-plus goals in four of the last five seasons, including a 30-goal output during the 2015-16 campaign. Heading into next year, Henrique will continue centering a top-six line and have an important role during power plays.

Roy signed a one-year, $874,000 two-way contract with the Ducks on Sunday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Roy was extended a qualifying offer back in June as he entered restricted free agency, and, as expected, he will remain in Anaheim. Roy ended up playing 25 games in the NHL last season after making the jump from AHL San Diego and recorded six goals and one assist in that span.

Nosek secured a one-year, one-way contract worth $963,000 on Tuesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Nosek was a clutch contributor during the Golden Knights' unpredictable playoff run, scoring three goals against the Capitals in the Stanley Cup Finals. The 25-year-old had a more modest stat line during the regular season, with seven goals and 15 points in 67 games. Expect him to remain in the bottom-six for 2018-19.

Vesey agreed to a two-year contract with the Rangers on Tuesday, Jim Cerny of Sporting News reports.

Vesey was thought to be headed for arbitration, but he's since signed a contract with New York. He collected 28 points (17 goals, 11 assists) through 79 games with the Rangers during the 2017-2018 campaign.

Noesen agreed to terms on a one-year, $1,750,000 contract with the Devils on Tuesday.

Noesen and teammate Blake Coleman both filed for salary arbitration after not being satisfied with their qualify offers, but now both have agreed to re-sign with the Devils ahead of their scheduled court dates. Noesen is coming off his first full campaign with New Jersey, and he posted career highs in goals (13) and assists (14) at the NHL level.

Smith signed a one-year, two-way contract worth $874,125 with Buffalo on Monday.

Smith registered 17 goals and 44 points in 57 games with AHL Rochester last season and was leading his team in scoring before missing some time with a lower-body injury. The University of Massachusetts Lowell alumnus should see NHL action at some point this season but might not crack the roster out of training camp.

Lindholm signed a six-year, $29.1 million contract extension with the Flames on Monday, Mike Kelly of TSN reports.

Lindholm was acquired by Calgary from Carolina alongside Noah Hanifin earlier this offseason. The Swedish forward is coming off back-to-back 40-point seasons with 27 goals and over 300 shots on net the last two seasons. Lindholm should secure a top-six role in Calgary's revamped forward group during the 2018-19 season.

Hartman (shoulder) has signed a one-year deal with the Predators.

Hartman split time last year between Nashville and Chicago, but collected six points with three goals and three assists in 21 games after making the move to Tennessee. The former first-round pick is coming off his second full season in the NHL and was a restricted free agent before coming to terms with the Predators.

MacDermid signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Kings on Sunday. The contract is worth $675,000 at the NHL level.

MacDermid saw the ice in 34 games for Los Angeles a season ago, logging a goal, three assists and 57 penalty minutes. Even if the 24-year-old ends up seeing a larger share of action in the NHL in 2018-19, he would likely receive limited ice time in a third-pairing role.

Welinski inked a one-year two-way contract with the Ducks on Tuesday.

Welinski will bounce between the AHL and NHL after coming to terms on a two-way deal. The 25-year-old defenseman recorded two points (two assists) over seven games with the Ducks during the 2017-2018 campaign.

Pulock inked a two-year deal with the Islanders on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old defenseman will remain in New York for two more years following a 2017-18 campaign in which he had career-highs in points (32), goals (10), and assists (22). Pulock was a relatively safe option last season, firing 184 shots on net despite playing in only 68 games. This rate of 2.71 shots per game was comparable to that of Artemi Panarin (2.81).

Heatherington signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Stars on Monday.

The 6-foot-4 blueliner appeared in six games with Dallas last season, registering one assist and 26 penalty minutes. Heatherington spent most of his season with AHL Texas, scoring three goals and 17 points for the minor league club. He'll have a shot to make the NHL roster to start the 2018-19 campaign but likely won't have a big enough role to earn any fantasy attention.

O'Gara accepted his qualifying offer from the Rangers for the 2018-19 season Sunday.

O'Gara was brought to New York as part of the Nick Holden trade with the Bruins last season. He would score just three points in 22 games to close out the 2018 season with the Rangers but was still able to keep steady playing time. Heading into next year, the 25-year-old blueliner should stay in a relatively unproductive, bottom-pair role.

Bigras accepted his qualifying offer with the Rangers for the 2018-19 season Sunday.

After being acquired from the Avalanche last season, Bigras spent the rest of the year with AHL Hartford, scoring two goals and 13 points in 18 games. There's no guarantee he'll have an NHL roster spot for the 2018-19 campaign and can be ignored in nearly all fantasy formats.

Stolarz signed a one-year, two-way deal worth $761,250 on Monday, TSN reports.

It was a tough year for Stolarz, as he recovered from two knee surgeries and played just one game in the AHL and three games in the ECHL. The 6-foot-6, 210-pound netminder will likely spend most of his time in the minors again with Brian Elliott (abdomen) and Michael Neuvirth (hip) locking down the big club's crease.

Martin signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Avalanche on Monday, TSN reports.

Martin didn't suit up in the NHL during 2017-18 and played 34 games with AHL San Antonio instead, producing a .893 save percentage and 3.10 GAA -- the worst stats of his minor-league career. Colorado acquired Phillipp Grubauer via trade from the Capitals and still have Semyon Varlamov (knee) on the roster, so it's tough to see a way Martin cracks the lineup besides an injury.

Gillies inked a two-year contract with the Flames on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old goalie will bounce between the NHL and AHL levels throughout the 2018-19 season, though the second year of his deal is a one-way contract. He posted a 3-5-1 record with an .896 save percentage through 11 games with Calgary last year.

Saros signed a three-year, $4.5 million contract with Nashville on Monday.

Saros has established himself as one of the league's best backup goaltenders behind Pekka Rinne in Nashville. He appeared in 26 games last season, registering a 2.44 GAA and .925 save percentage alongside an 11-5-7 record. He should continue posting strong numbers but won't have much fantasy value as long as he remains in a backup role.

Fleury agreed to terms on a three-year, $21 million contract extension with Vegas on Friday.

Fleury was entering the final year of his contract, but instead will stick with the Golden Knights on a three-year deal that will carry him to age 36. The veteran netminder went 29-13-4 with four shutouts and a 2.24 GAA in his first campaign away from Pittsburgh. While a concussion sidelined him for a large chunk of the season, the Flower took Vegas all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals in its inaugural season. Injuries are no doubt a concern for fantasy owners, yet when Fleury is healthy, he remains one of the league's elite netminders.

Hellebuyck agreed to terms on a six-year, $37 million contract with Winnipeg on Thursday.

It was only a question of when Hellebuyck's new deal would get done, as the netminder had previously filed for salary arbitration. The Michigan native finally had his breakout performance last year, as he went 44-11-9 with six shutouts, a 2.36 GAA and a .924 save percentage -- all of which saw him finish second in the Vezina Trophy voting behind Pekka Rinne. At $6.167 million AAV, Hellebuyck's deal puts him in line with Braden Holtby, Corey Crawford and Cory Schneider.
