Sign winger Ben Eager to a 2 year 1.7mil$ (850k per).
''We are happy to add Ben to our line. He provides energy and grit to our line up and should form a entertaining duo with Matt Martin.''
Marty Reasoner also agreed to a 2 year deal worth 2.4mil$ (1.2 per).
''Marty bring leadership, depth and intangible to our roster. We really like what he can bring on the bottom 6 and will also help in the face off circle.''

Sign winger Erik Cole to a 3 year 9M contract. Erik is a hard nosed and gritty player who can put the puck in the net. Looking forward to him bolstering our offense.
SIGN JONI PITKANEN TO A 5 YEAR DEAL
The St. Louis Blues are extremely pleased to announce the signing of defenseman Joni Pitkanen, he signed to a 5 year deal, paying him 6 million per. The Blues are extremely happy on landing Joni Pitkanen and expect him to be the franchise's top blueliner ever since EJ left the squad.
He will be playing on our top pairing with Alex Peitrangelo.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are pleased to announce to signing of forward Michael Ryder to a 2 year contract worth a total of $5M. We feel Michael will be a great fit on one of our top two lines.
Sign top goaltender Tomas Vokoun to a 3 year deal worth 19.5mil$. The deal that includes a NMC will pay Tomas 8.5mil$ in the first year, 6.5mil$ in the second and 4.5mil$ in the final year.
''We have been a struggling team for far too long and we are ready to put a end to this. Our players are ready to take the next step but like any team in the league, you don't go anywhere without quality goaltending. Our situation in nets have been well documented in the past, with Tomas Vokoun now here and 3 good young goalie in Poulin, Nilsson and Koskinen without forgetting Montoya, we are now settle for the coming years in nets and we will make the playoffs this year and for the years to come.''
ADD FINAL PIECE, SIGN HANDZUS TO 4 YEAR DEAL
The St. Louis Blues would like to announce the final signing of their off-season, signing Michal Handzus to a 4 year deal, paying him $3,900,000 per year.
"The price was awfully steep, but Michal brings something to the team that is needed."
After quite a while of working a deal out with Ehrhoff (stretching into the past season) we have been able to ink him to a long term 5 year deal. It wasn't easy and we had to give up a pretty penny.
Time to get your final offers in. Signings will start to be announced tonight after 9 pm EDT, concluding tomorrow afternoon. If you've been sitting on the sidelines waiting to pounce thinking no one will then have time to beat your offer, not a great strategy with me. My clients prefer teams that have been pursuing them through the process, demonstrating they really want my guys for their team. You better have a good reason for not making offers up to this point and explain why my client should sign with you.
