Restricted free agent defenseman Dmitry Kulikov signed a three-year contract with the Florida Panthers on Friday. Financial terms were not released, but TSN reported the total value to be $13 million.

"He has so much ability and this is a fair contract, it's what what guys around the League are getting paid," general manager Dale Tallon told the Miami Herald. "Now it's time for him to make a statement and be a leader on our team. He has all the ability in the world. He just has to channel it in the right direction.

"We're happy to have him in the fold. He's a great kid, still a young guy. He has tremendous ability. It's hard to find those guys."

The Boston Bruins on Friday signed forwards Jordan Caron, Craig Cunningham and Tyler Randell, along with defenseman Tommy Cross, each to a one-year contract. The Bruins also signed defenseman Zach Trotman to a two-year contract.

The Bruins also agreed to terms with forward Justin Florek on a one-year, two-way contract.

Forward Tyler Ennis signed a multiyear contract with the Buffalo Sabres, the team announced Thursday.

Terms were not disclosed, but multiple media outlets reported it's for five years and $23 million.

"It certainly wasn't straightforward," Sabres general manager Tim Murray said Friday. "The day we signed him we were calling back and forth every 10 minutes. And then we got to a point where we thought, both sides moved, but we got to a point where we thought our last offer was very credible and in line with a lot of players of his caliber in the League."

Goaltender Martin Brodeur remains one of the most prominent names on the NHL free-agent market. He said Thursday it could stay that way for a while.

"I'm still looking for the right fit, and the right fit might not come this summer, it might come later on in the fall," Brodeur told Yahoo Sports. "I'm pretty open-minded. Regardless of what happens, if I play or don't play, I'm ready for anything. I'm looking forward to a new challenge, regardless if it's outside of hockey or still in hockey with a different organization."

There are few apparent openings for a No. 1 goalie as Brodeur looks to move on from the New Jersey Devils, and many Stanley Cup threats seemingly have their backup in place.

"If I'm going to not play with a contender, then definitely I'd like to play a lot," the 42-year-old said. "I'm really open-minded about the situation I'm looking for, but it's pretty specific, and me and my agent (Pat Brisson) are kind of looking at different options."

Goaltender John Curry and the Minnesota Wild agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract, the team announced Thursday. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Curry, 30, was 7-9-2 with a 2.62 goals-against average, .930 save percentage and one shutout in 19 games last season with the Iowa Wild of the American Hockey League.

The Detroit Red Wings re-signed forwards Mitch Callahan and Andrej Nestrasil each to a one-year contract, the team announced Thursday. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Callahan, 22, made his NHL debut on March 25 against the Columbus Blue Jackets. He was second on the Grand Rapid Griffins of the American Hockey League with 26 goals and fourth with 44 points in 70 regular-season games.

Defenseman Chris Butler signed a one-year, two-way contract with the St. Louis Blues, the team announced Wednesday. Financial terms were not disclosed.

"My personal goal is to come to training camp and compete for a spot," Butler told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "I have no intention of playing in the American League, even though it's a two-way deal. I feel like I'm still an NHL player ... it's just kind of a camp to take a step back and redefine myself as a player, come to a winning organization and a team and a franchise that I think is pretty close to achieving their ultimate goal."

Defenseman Jason Demers and the San Jose Sharks agreed to terms Wednesday on a two-year contract. Financial terms were not released but the contract is worth $3.4 million per season, according to Elliotte Friedman of "Hockey Night In Canada."

"I want to be in San Jose as long as I can. I love the organization," Demers said, according to CSN Bay Area. "They did a lot for me, and I owe a lot to them."

Forward Peter Holland signed a two-year contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday. Financial terms were not released.

Left wing Carl Klingberg and the Winnipeg Jets agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract worth $650,000, the team announced Wednesday.
