The Seattle Kraken brought in goaltender Martin Jones and defenseman Justin Schultz, the team announced Wednesday.

Jones signed a one-year contract worth $2 million, while Schultz agreed to terms on a two-year pact with an average annual value of $3 million.

More to come.

The Tampa Bay Lightning agreed to a one-year, $3-million deal with free-agent defenseman Ian Cole, according to Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff.

Cole is coming off a one-year stint with the Carolina Hurricanes. He registered a pair of goals and 17 assists while averaging 17:09 of ice time across 75 appearances.

The Lightning entered free agency looking to bolster their defense corps, especially after trading Ryan McDonagh to the Nashville Predators in a salary-shedding move.

Cole brings 12 years of NHL experience to the table. The 33-year-old began his career with the St. Louis Blues before stints with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Columbus Blue Jackets, Colorado Avalanche, Minnesota Wild, and Hurricanes.

The Lightning reached the Stanley Cup Final for the third consecutive season in 2021-22, but lost to the Avalanche after prevailing in their previous two trips.

This is a sneaky good deal from the best of sneaky good deals

This is amazing

This is more amazing

Trying to get some stats on who the Pens signed

In all seriousness…this is a franchise changing signing…all it takes is one elite player to want to be here and others will follow. I saw it with my Browns and now hopefully this.

Good things are coming with this team…now please sign Laine

How are you all going to sign Laine?
Looks like you only have about 3.1 million left in cap room.

The Jackets totally deserve to be successful but as a long time fan of a team who’s had more than one elite player, attracting more elite players isn’t always easy. I use to think dudes would be lining up to play with Sid & Geno and then I finally gave up.
