The Arizona Coyotes have signed defenseman Dysin Mayo to a three-year contract.

Terms of the deal announced Friday were not released.

Mayo, 25, has three goals and three assists in 42 games with Arizona this season. 

Sean Avery has signed a standard player contract with the ECHL Orlando Solar Bears, the team announced Wednesday.

The 41-year-old forward last appeared in an NHL game on Dec. 10, 2011, with the New York Rangers. He has been added to the team's reserve list.

The Pittsburgh Penguins signed defenseman Chad Ruhwedel to a two-year contract extension on Saturday.

The deal carries an average annual value of $800,000 and runs through the 2023-24 season.

The Montreal Canadiens added Nick Bobrov and former NHL star Vincent Lecavalier to their front office Friday.

Bobrov will serve as co-director of amateur scouting while Lecavalier becomes a special adviser to hockey operations.

Cammi Granato has been watching the Vancouver Canucks for years.

As a pro scout for the Seattle Kraken since 2019 -- the first female scout in NHL history -- she spent ample time in the press box at Vancouver's Rogers Arena, checking out talent for the league's newest team.

Now, she'll have a new view. The Canucks named Granato to assistant general manager Thursday.

The St. Louis Blues announced a three-year contract extension Wednesday with coach Craig Berube.

The 56-year-old Berube is 133-72-30 (.630) in 3½ seasons with the Blues and was a finalist for the Jack Adams Award in 2019 when he led the Blues to the first Stanley Cup championship in franchise history. 

Hall of Fame defenseman Scott Niedermayer has joined the Anaheim Ducks' front office as a special adviser to the hockey operations department.

New Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek on Tuesday announced the "enhanced role" in the front office for Niedermayer, the captain of Anaheim's only Stanley Cup-winning team in 2007.

"His winning culture and great hockey mind will help all of our players and staff moving forward," Verbeek said.

The Flyers have named former franchise great Danny Briere special assistant to the general manager.

The 44-year-old Briere, who retired after the 2014-15 season, will be involved in all aspects of the club's hockey operations, including scouting and player development. He joins the Flyers operations staff after parts of five years with the Maine Mariners of the ECHL, most recently as team president.

Pat Verbeek spent two decades in the NHL as a gritty right winger and 16 years as a front-office executive preparing for the chance to run his own team.

That's why the new general manager of the Anaheim Ducks believes he is ready to make a championship contender out of a club that is already on the way up.

"I look forward to building this team into a Stanley Cup winner," Verbeek said.
