GM Kyle Davidson and the Chicago Blackhawks recently signed former Toronto Maple Leaf defenseman TJ Brodie to a 2-year deal. The AAV is $3.75 M for the next two years, however, one could argue the value isn't wrong for the contract, it's the term.

Light news day today, as it has been since after July 1. According to Elliotte Friedman, the Red Wings and Joe Veleno have settled, agreeing on a two-year contract worth $2.275 million per season. In his third full NHL season, Veleno finished with a career-high 28 points in 80 games. He has mainly been a bottom-6 center for the Wings, but at age 24 still possesses some upside.

How’s everyone’s summer going? It’s been a quiet one over here at Die By The Blade. There’s always something to talk about, for sure, but it’s been relatively quiet on the Eastern front when it comes to the Buffalo Sabres. NHL arbitration hearings are coming up, though this year, the league has not released its normal schedule of when each respective player’s hearing is – so we have no idea when Ukko-Pekka Lukkonen or Beck Malenstyn will head to their hearings. Until we find out more, all we can wait for is to see if the sides settle before their hearing.
