The 2022 NHL offseason is in full swing, as the draft is now in the rearview mirror and teams look to mold their rosters via trades and re-signings.
While the start of free agency is traditionally July 1, it began this year on Wednesday because of the shifted schedule of the 2021-22 season.
Although the key dates have changed, the goal of free agency has not: GMs around the NHL hope to land the game-changing veteran who can boost their contention status or bolster their core with the glue that builds championships.
Here's our continuously updated tracker, featuring a list of every player signed, along with analysis on the biggest deals and buzz on what could happen next. Note that the newest deals are at the top.

GM Julien BriseBois is always in for a surprise, but one of his big needs today is a left shot defenseman to replace Ryan McDonagh.
Gaudreau will not re-sign with Flames
We don't know where Johnny Gaudreau will be signing this offseason, but it will not be with the Calgary Flames, the only team for which he has played during his nine-season NHL career.
There has been heavy speculation that the Philadelphia Flyers, New Jersey Devils and New York Islanders could be among the suitors for Gaudreau, a native of Salem, a town in southern New Jersey. It's expected his free agent contract could cross the $10 million average annual value threshold. Only 14 players make $10 million or more against the salary cap in the NHL.
Johnny Gaudreau & Nazem Kadri should both land massive deals.
— Emily Kaplan (@emilymkaplan) July 13, 2022
Philly is Gaudreau's top choice but Flyers need to clear $$. They've been trying to move JVR's contract.. If not, Gaudreau may sign with another Metro team.
NYR among top suitors for Kadri, but he'll have options.
NHL free agency begins today! As I reported on @sportscenter, the goalie market is absolutely insane.. but carousel should stop for a few teams today.
