I'm taking my computer to class, so I'll be able to update through most of the day.  Here's what has been happening so far today:

• Added (2:31): Sharks re-sign Jay Leach for 2 years.
• Added (2:30): Sabres sign Patrick Lalime to a 1-year deal.
• Added (2:27): Avalanche re-sign Brandon Yip for 2 more years.
• Added (2:26): The Hurricanes have brought UFA defenceman Joe Corvo back into the fold. 2 years, $4.5 million.
• Added: Happy belated birthday to Christian Ehrhoff.  He turned 28 yesterday.
• Added: I know it's a bit more of a sensitive topic, but Derek Zona has written an amazing piece over at Copper & Blue about homophobia in hockey.
• Capitals have re-signed Jeff Schultz for 4 more years.
• Evgeni Nabokov has signed for 4 years at $6M/year in Russia.  Our Sharks counterpart, Fear The Fin, has more on that.  UPDATE: Here's the Chesnokov post I was talking about earlier.
  
• Rob Niedermayer is signing for 1 year with the Sabres.  TSN says it's for $1M. (h/t and apologies to Jevant, who put up a fanshot that I didn't notice before)
  
• Mike Weber has signed for another year with the Sabres.
• Apparently, the Kings are back in the Ilya Kovalchuk race, and Kovy is making them a counter-offer today.
