Giroux re-signs with Senators; Blue Jackets lock up Fabbro to 4-year, $16.5M contract
Veteran Senators forward Claude Giroux is staying put in Ottawa for one more season, and Blue Jackets defenseman Dante Fabbro has a new four-year contract that keeps him in Columbus. Meantime, forward Conor Sheary's tenure in Tampa Bay is ending after being placed on unconditional waivers for the purpose to terminate his contract on Sunday, as teams took stock of their rosters two days before the start of the NHL's free agency period. The Senators announced re-signing the 37-year-old Giroux to a one-year, $2 million contract that features an additional $2.75 million in bonus incentives. Girioux has 18 seasons of NHL experience including his first 15 in Philadelphia, where he served as captain. Last year, he had 15 goals and 35 assists in 81 games to reach 50 points for a 13th career season, and helped guide the Senators to their first playoff appearance in eight years. The Blue Jackets locked up Fabbro to a four-year, $16.5 million contract. Columbus acquired the 27-year-old by claiming him in November after Nashville placed Fabbro on waivers. Fabro finished the season with a career-high 26 points (nine goals, 17 assists) in 62 games with the Blue Jackets, after getting no points in six games with Nashville. 'Dante was a great addition to our team last season and keeping him in Columbus was a priority,' general manager Don Waddell said. The Lighting are parting ways with Sheary. The 10th-year player was limited to playing just five games with the Lightning last season, while spending a majority of last season in the minors because of the team's salary cap constraints. The 33-year-old Sheary had one more year left on his three-year contract, and was due to make $2 million next season. Sheary won Stanley Cups during each of his first two NHL seasons with Pittsburgh in 2016 and '17. He signed with Tampa Bay as a free agent two years ago, and finished with four goals and 15 points in 62 games with the Lightning. He also played for Buffalo and Washington, and has 124 goals and 267 points in 593 games. If unclaimed, Sheary will become an unrestricted free agent. The Seattle Kraken placed forward Joe Veleno on unconditional waivers for the purpose to buy out the final year of his contract, in which he was due to make $2.275 million. Veleno has five seasons of NHL experience and was acquired by Seattle last week in a trade that sent forward Andre Burakovsky to Chicago. The 25-year-old Veleno spent his first four-plus NHL seasons in Detroit, and has 38 goals and 81 points in 306 games. The Anaheim Ducks maintained their depth at goalie by signing Ville Husso to a two-year contract extension. The 30-year-old provides the Ducks insurance behind projected starter Lukas Dostal and Petr Mrazek, who was acquired in a trade that sent John Gibson to Detroit on Saturday. Husso has a NHL record of 71-46-19 and went 1-1-1 in four appearances with Anaheim last season after being acquired in a trade with Detroit in February. Husso spent the rest of his time with Anaheim in the minors.

Giroux staying with Senators, AP source says. Blue Jackets re-sign Fabbro
Veteran forward Claude Giroux is staying in Ottawa after agreeing to a one-year contract with the Senators, a person familiar with the discussions confirmed to The Associated Press on Sunday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the agreement is not finalized and was reached two days before the player was scheduled to become a free agent. Sportsnet first reported the deal.
