Chouinard comes from the Wild, at 1.1 mill a year, two year contract. Watch out cause vancouver's getting it stacked up. I've been noticing that Florida is real busy, the Ducks have had alot of movement, the rangers (although pundit's right, they do it every year, don't they? and not much happens). But Vancouver has a new coach and they are quietly re-building.
Devils Colin White re-signed. 18 mill, 6 years. Montreal re-signed Higgins to a $673,000 one year deal,a nd defenceman Mike komisarek too. Steve Ott is a re born Star at 1.75 mill for two years.
One interesting note in all this is that Bates battaglia, who was quietly playing for the Toronto marlies last year on an AHL contract, has a two way deal with the leafs and he will show up at camp. he and maurice have a long history of player/coach relations.

I had no idea that Battaglia was playing for the Marlies. Did they ever keep that quiet!
