Busy Week in the NHL Does Continue (and will continue); Jagr Watch

A large handful of signings and trades have been made this past week changing many teams. I've posted a few days ago some of the notes from the beginning of the week and according to several sources, teams are not done yet and we are in for even more deals.

-The Vancouver Canucks resigned defenseman Kevin Bieksa to a 5 year contract.
-The Minnesota Wild received forward Darroll Powe from the Philadelphia Flyers for a draft pick.
-The Florida Panthers traded a draft pick to the Chicago Blackhawks for RW Tomas Kopecky.
-The Washington Capitals resigned forward Brooks Laich to a 6 year deal.
-New York Islanders received negotiating rights to defenseman Christian Ehrhoff from the Canucks for a draft pick (this means that the ball is in the Islanders' court whether they want to sign him or not).
-The Carolina Hurricanes resigned defenseman Joni Pitkanen to a 3 year contract.
-The Nashville Predators opt to not sign forward Steve Sullivan.
-The Tampa Bay Lightning resigned defenseman Bruno Gervais to a 1 year deal.
-The Boston Bruins are looking to trade away the negotiating rights to defenseman Tomas Kaberle (similar to what the Canucks did with Ehrhoff).
-The Tampa Bay Lightning resign defenseman Adam Hall to a 1 year deal.
-The Buffalo Sabres have resigned forward Nathan Gerbe to a multi-year deal.
-The Carolina Hurricanes resigned Chad Larose.
-Jaromir Jagr, former NHL star who recently went to the Russian KHL, is making his decision TODAYabout where he will go. The options are the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Detroit Red Wings, or back to the KHL. Many people believe that he's going to end up in Pittsburgh.
