NHL Thread Because There Isn't An NHL Thread

The New York Rangers signed restricted free-agent winger Kaapo Kakko to a two-year contract, the team announced Thursday.

The agreement carries an average annual value of $2.1 million, a source told The Athletic's Arthur Staple.

Kakko's entry-level contract expired this offseason. New York drafted him second overall, but the 21-year-old hasn't lived up to the billing of a lottery pick just yet with only 58 points in 157 career games.

The Rangers have approximately $1.8 million in remaining cap space after signing Kakko, the club's lone RFA.
 
The Ottawa Senators inked forward Mathieu Joseph to a four-year pact carrying an average annual value of $2.95 million.

Joseph was a restricted free agent who the Senators acquired from the Tampa Bay Lightning along with a fourth-round pick in exchange for Nick Paul in March.

More to come.
 
The top remaining defenseman on the free-agent market is finally off the board.

The Anaheim Ducks are signing veteran blue-liner John Klingberg to a one-year deal worth approximately $7 million, reports ESPN's Kevin Weekes.

Klingberg, 29, spent the last eight seasons with the Dallas Stars.
