In the most important hockey transaction in franchise history, Predators Chairman Tom Cigarran, President of Hockey Operations/GM David Poile and CEO Jeff Cogen announced today that the team has matched the 14-year, $110M offer sheet between the Flyers and defenseman Shea Weber, insuring that the Predators' captain will remain with the franchise for the next 14 years.

Free agent forward Shane Doan has visited with the Rangers and Flyers over the past two days, according to multiple reports. Philly.com says Doan's latest visit was with the Flyers on Saturday. The website said the sides have mutual interest, but the meeting was described as Doan "just checking his options."

The Flyers have signed defenseman Shea Weber to a 14-year offer sheet worth upwards of $100M, sources told TSN. A restricted free agent, Weber has spent his entire career with the Predators, who have seven days to match Philadelphia's offer. If the Predators decide not to match the offer, they would receive four first-round draft picks from the Flyers, according to TSN.

Shane Doan is willing to give the Coyotes until next Monday before he starts considering other options available in free agency. Doan originally set a July 9 deadline to get a new deal done with the Coyotes. His initial deadline coincided with when he was hoping to get more clarity on Greg Jamison's bid to purchase the Coyotes. However, the deadline came and went without any more clarity on the ownership situation. Doan, though, isn't ready to give up on the Coyotes, so, according to Fox Sports Arizona, the longtime captain has set a new deadline for July 16.

Stars GM Joe Nieuwendyk said Tuesday he expects captain Brenden Morrow to be with the team next season. Morrow reportedly has become a trade target of the Blues, among other teams. Nieuwendyk addressed those rumors to the Dallas Morning News. "We had a good talk the other day, and I told him I very much believe there's a place for him on this team," Nieuwendyk told the newspaper. "I told him I fully expect him to be out there on the power play in front of the net where he's always been."

There is "strong mutual interest" between the Sharks and Coyotes captain Shane Doan, according to the veteran forward's agent. Doan became one of the premier prizes remaining in this year's free agent market July 1. His agent, Terry Bross, has indicated at least 11 teams, including Sharks GM Doug Wilson, have called about Doan. "Yes there is strong mutual interest" between Doan and the Sharks, Bross said in an email. "Have been in contact with Mr. Wilson."

All the hard work by goalie Michael Houser of the OHL's London Knights seems to have paid off. Houser, passed over by NHL teams during the past three drafts, on Monday reportedly signed an entry-level deal with the Panthers. Houser won the Red Tilson Trophy as the most outstanding player in the OHL in 2011-12. He also was the first American-born player and first player from London to be named the Canadian Hockey League's top goaltender.

The Wild have landed prized free agents Zach Parise and Ryan Suter, sources told ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun. Both deals are worth $98M over 13 years. For Parise, the move will be a homecoming after the Minneapolis native spent his first seven seasons with the Devils. Suter joins the Wild after playing his first seven seasons with the Predators. The defenseman had received a contract offer of $90M over 13 years from the Red Wings, according to the Detroit Free Press.

Jaromir Jagr has signed a one-year, $4.5M contract with the Stars, a source told ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun. An 18-year veteran, Jagr spent last season with Flyers, scoring 19 goals and 54 points.
