S. Morin - D

PHI

Morin (knee) agreed to a three-year contract extension with the Flyers on Friday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

According to an unnamed source that Whyno cited, Morin's deal is worth $700,000 annually. It's refreshing to see Philly standing behind its towering prospect (6-foot-6, 202 pounds) despite how he required surgery to repair a torn ACL in May and is expected to be kept off the game ice until February of 2019. Morin very well could be worth the wait -- after all, the Flyers took him 11th overall in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, and among the blueliners who finished the year on the team's active NHL roster last season, only four of them are currently under contract for the 2018-19 campaign.

Added 12:13 am (EST)

N/A

B. Orpik - D

WSH

TSN's Pierre LeBrun passes on word that Colorado is trying to trade Orpik, and the club is expected to buy him out if the effort fails. Washington needed to create cap space in an attempt to sign pending UFA defender John Carlson, and moving Orpik's $5.5 million contract was their clearest and easiest path to doing so. Orpik, who posted zero goals and 10 assists in 81 games last season, has one year remaining on his deal.

Added Yesterday 7:15 pm (EST)

N/A

P. Grubauer - G

WSH

It had been rumored for quite a while that Grubauer would be on the move and now we know his final destination. Colorado's willingness to absorb Orpik's contract allowed the club to pay a relatively small price to acquire a guy who could end up as a starting goaltender next season. Grubauer has been brilliant for Washington over the past two seasons (28-16-5, 2.19 GAA, .924 save percentage) and now he is in line to be the No. 1 man for one of the NHL's better young clubs. Grubauer, who is currently a restricted free agent, should make for a fine fantasy option in 12-team leagues next season.

N/A

S. Johns - D

DAL

Johns (upper body) signed a three-year contract extension with the Stars on Friday that will net him $2.35 million annually, Mark Stepneski of the Stars' official site reports.

Johns' 2017-18 season ended early due to an upper-body injury, though he still logged 75 games for the Stars and posted career-best marks with eight goals, seven assists, and a plus-10 rating. As a result, the Stars have rewarded him with a deal that will keep him in Dallas through the 2020-21 season. It's unlikely Johns -- who averaged just 37 seconds per game on the power play -- will become a fantasy juggernaut along the blue line, but he could slide into the back end of some deep drafts next season.

Added Yesterday 6:42 pm (EST)

N/A

J. Toews - C

CHI

According to coach Joel Quenneville, Toews (upper body) is "totally healthy" and has "been working out just about every day," Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Toews missed the final eight games of the 2017-18 campaign due to an upper-body injury, but his injury was never expected to affect his availability for training camp. The 30-year-old pivot has been extremely consistent over the past three seasons, notching at least 20 goals and 30 assists in each campaign, and he will remain a valuable asset in all fantasy formats in 2018-19.

Added Yesterday 6:28 pm (EST)

N/A

L. Domingue - G

Domingue inked a two-year contract with Tampa Bay on Friday worth $1.15 million annually.

When the Lightning shipped Peter Budaj off to the Kings, it was a pretty clear indication they were going to focus on re-signing Domingue. The 25-year-old made 12 appearances for the Bolts last season, in which he went 7-3-1 with a 2.89 GAA and .914 save percentage. Fantasy owners can likely expect the Quebec native to log between 20-30 starts during the 2018-19 campaign behind starter Andrei Vasilevskiy.

N/A

M. Granlund - F

VAN

Granlund (ankle) secured a one-year contract extension with the Canucks on Friday. According to Irfaan Gaffar of Sportsnet, the deal is worth $1.475 million.

Granlund is a versatile two-way contributor, but he hasn't quite lived up to his lofty draft profile since the Flames originally took him in the second round of the 2011 draft. The Finn recorded eight goals and four assists against a minus-10 rating over 53 games of an injury-shortened 2017-18 campaign with Vancouver. Granlund underwent ankle surgery in February, but the team hasn't offered much of an update in that regard, so we'll take that as a "no news is good news" scenario.

Added Yesterday 1:53 pm (EST)

N/A

C. Kunitz - F

Kunitz doesn't want to retire, but he won't be offered a contract by the Lightning, Joe Smith of The Athletic Tampa Bay reports.

Kunitz, a four-time Stanley Cup champion, isn't going to offer elite-level offensive production anymore -- he notched just 29 points last season -- but the veteran can still be a depth contributor in a bottom-six role. A team looking to add the winger can likely expect to pay between $1-2 million, which is a relative bargain given his experience.
