News: Couture agreed to a contract extension with the Sharks on Monday, CSN's Brodie Brazil reports. [+]
Impact: While the length and the value of Couture's extension have not yet been disclosed, the 24-year-old center has reportedly re-upped with San Jose. It certainly makes sense that the Sharks would want to keep Couture around, considering he led the team with 21 goals during the regular season did so again in the playoffs with five.

Kevin Connauton (DAL - Defense)
News: The Dallas Stars have signed minor league defenseman Kevin Connauton to a three-year contract that could be worth as much as $2 million. The first year of the contract announced Thursday is a two-way deal, meaning Connauton will make $100,000 if he plays in the minors and $600,000 if he is in the NHL. The final two years are guaranteed, $650,000 for the 2014-15 season and $800,000 for 2015-16. [+]
Impact: Dallas acquired the 23-year-old Connauton from Vancouver in an April trade that sent Derek Roy to the Canucks. Connauton played in 69 games for Chicago and Texas of the AHL last season, and had nine goals, 22 assists and 73 penalty minutes. He played in the AHL All-Star game and registered the hardest shot in a skills competition. ( STATS - Thu. June 13, 2013) |
