Panthers will be signing Bobrovsky
Andy Strickland: The Florida Panthers will be signing goaltender Sergei Bobrosky to a deal around $10 million a season.
David Pagnotta: Hearing that Bobrovsky could be signing a seven-year deal at around $9.5 million with the Panthers. Unconfirmed but hearing it.
Kevin Paul Dupont: The Columbus Blue Jackets had offered goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky an eight-year deal at $9 million to stay in Columbus.
Panthers will be signing Connolly
Bob Stauffer: Wouldn’t be a surprise if Brett Connolly signed with the Florida Panthers. It could be a four-year deal.
Andy Strickland: Have heard it could be a four-year deal at around $3.5 million AAV for Connolly in Florida.

Stars will be signing Pavelski
David Pagnotta: It’s looking like the Dallas Stars are going to be signing forward Joe Pavelski to the three-year contract with an AAV at around $7 million per season.
Cap Friendly: Pavelski won’t turn 35-years old until July 11, so he’ll have a standard contract – by 12 days – and not a 35+ deal.
Darren Dreger: The Dallas Stars are hoping to add two veteran forwards tomorrow. Pavelski is expected to sign. Corey Perry could also be an option for the Stars.
Kevin Kurz: “For the Pavelski fans just tuning in — this is all about the Sharks lack of salary cap space. The Karlsson deal, and the uncertainty on Timo Meier’s next contract, made it impossible for the Sharks to give Pavelski a competitive offer. In fact, the two sides were never even close”
Maple Leafs will be signing Agostino
Adrian Dater: Sources saying the Toronto Maple Leafs will be signing forward Kenny Agostino to two-year, one-way deal.
Bob McKenzie: Confirming Dater and the two-year deal for Agostino. He’ll get close to the league minimum $700,000.
Red Wings will be signing Pickard
Frank Seravalli: The Detroit Red Wings will be signing a goaltender Calvin Pickard two-year deal. Will compete with Jonathan Bernier for the backup position.
