Jul 3 D Mattias Ohlund, who turns 33 prior to the start of the season, was signed to a seven-year contract that averages out at $3.75 million per season. Ohlund was the team's primary target in free agency and he was signed less than 30 minutes into the start of free agency. Yahoo! Sports

Jul 1 Ohlund signed a seven-year, $24.5 million contract with the Lightning on Wednesday, TSN.ca reports.

Recommendation: After a productive 12-year career with the Canucks, Ohlund heads to Tampa to help bolster its blue line. His points production dropped off last season. Ohlund registered just one more point last season than the one prior, while playing in 29 more contests. His plus-14 rating and 105 penalty minutes still make him valuable, however.
