Live Coverage: NHL Free Agency — Torey Krug signs with Blues

The 2020 NHL offseason is set to officially heat up Friday afternoon, with free agents cleared to sign contracts starting at noon.

5:25: Here's a quick breakdown on the Miller signing.

4:35: Kevan Miller is re-signing with Boston, per LeBrun. Not much of a surprise — we'll see what the base salary is, but if he's healthy, he's a good depth option at this point. It's an uphill climb, given the injuries he's sustained, but he has remained focused on getting back out on the ice.
