Jaccob Slavin inks a seven-year extension with the Hurricanes

The Carolina Hurricanes and defenseman Jaccob Slavin have agreed to a seven-year contract extension worth $37.1 million.

What It Means:

The 23-year-old still has one year left on his current contract, and he's now locked up as a cornerstone for the Canes moving forward.

Slavin notched 34 points (29 goals and 5 assists) while racking up 99 shots on goal and blocking 161 shots last season. His 2.5% relative Corsi For Percentage at even strength ranked second among Carolina defensemen.

Lightning sign Tyler Johnson to seven-year deal

The Tampa Bay Lightning have signed center Tyler Johnson to a seven-year, $35 million contract extension.

What It Means:

Johnson, a restricted free agent, had filed for arbitration, but this is a nice increase for the 26-year-old. He had previously made $10 million over the previous three seasons with Tampa Bay.

In 2016-17, Johnson tallied just 45 points with 19 goals in 66 games. That's somewhat disappointing in light of back-to-back 50-plus point seasons in 2013-14 and 2014-15. The Lightning will hope for more of Johnson's earlier seasons going forward.

Penguins' Marc-Andre Fleury accepts waiver of no-move clause

Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury has agreed to accept the team's request for him to waive his no-move clause for the upcoming expansion draft.

What It Means:

If they so wish, the Las Vegas Golden Knights could make Fleury the franchise's first netminder. That means 23-year-old Matt Murray will be the Penguins' starting goaltender for the foreseeable future.

In 15 playoff appearances, Fleury went 9-6 and accumulated a save percentage of .924 for the NHL-champion Penguins.

What It Means:

The victory cuts Nashville's series deficit to 2-1, with Game 4 set to take place Monday in Nashville.
