Leading up to opening day the AI was fairly quiet, lapsing the rights of a few players and signing some of their former draft picks to entry league deals. Apart from that, here is a look at the two other transactions that occured:
October 1st, 2015
Sign Todd Bertuzzi @ $2,200,000 cap hit for 2 years
At 40 years old, Todd Bertuzzi inks what will most likely be his final NHL contract and he'll be playing with what looks like a serious Stanley Cup contender.
October 5th, 2015
Trade Jaromir Jagr to 
for Damon Severson
Huge trade before the start of the season saw Jaromir Jagr return back to New Jersey – a team where he spent two seasons prior to signing with Florida. In return, Florida receives a prospect defenceman on a cheaper two-year contract.
Here is a look at both players in their new uniforms and a glimpse at their current contracts:
Standard NHL contract @ $3,500,000 cap hit for 1 year
Entry level contract @ $605,833 cap hit for 2 years
