After a largely quiet offseason to this point, the New York Rangers made a big splash when the NHL free-agent market opened Tuesday, signing defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov to a reported seven-year, $49 million contract ($7 million average annual value).

The Vancouver Canucks made a huge splash on the opening day of free agency when they were able to re-sign forward Brock Boeser. Boeser is signing a seven-year contract extension worth $7.25 million annually to remain with the Canucks.
