Kings, Drew Doughty agree to eight-year extension
The Los Angeles Kings and defenseman Drew Doughty have agreed to an eight-year contract extension.
What It Means:
The deal will reportedly pay Doughty around $11 million per season through the life of the deal, which will go until his age-37 season. He will play out the final year of his current deal before this one kicks in. Even more impressive is that Doughty reportedly negotiated his own deal, saving himself between $1.75 and 2 million in agent fees.
In 2017-18, Doughty played 2,201 minutes in 82 games while accounting for 10 goals, 50 assists and 205 shots.

Carlson led all defensemen in scoring during both the regular season (68 points) and playoffs (20 points).

Sharks sign Evander Kane to massive seven-year deal
The San Jose Sharks have signed winger Evander Kane to a seven-year extension worth $49 million.
What It Means:
Kane will make $7 million a year under the deal, which includes a very limited no-trade clause. If the team wants to deal the 26-year-old they'll only have three teams to choose from. The no-trade goes throughout the contract, so this is a high-risk, high-reward move. The team will hope that Kane hits his stride in his prime, after performing well since landing in San Jose at the trade deadline.
Across his time with the Sharks and Buffalo Sabres, Kane produced 29 goals, 25 assists and 54 points with 307 shots in 1,527 minutes.

Washington Capitals winger T.J. Oshie scored 2 goals in Monday's 3-0 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final.
What It Means:
Oshie opened the scoring with a powerplay goal late in the second period and then the 31-year-old added an empty-netter with less than a minute remaining in regulation. He finished the night with a plus-1 rating, 5 shots on goal, and 2 hits in 20:44 of ice time while helping the Capitals get within one win of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Oshie reeled in 34.1 FanDuel points in Game 6. He's now up to 7 goals and 15 points in 18 postseason contests.
Marc-Andre Fleury leads Vegas to a berth in the Stanley Cup Finals
Vegas Golden Knights goalie Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 31 shots in a 2-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets to clinch the Western Conference Championship on Sunday.
What It Means:
Fleury has been the expansion Knights rock in net as he allowed just 6 goals in the last 4 games to help the Knights close out the Jets (4 games to 1) and advance to the Stanley Cup Finals. They will face either the Washington Capitals or the Tampa Bay Lightning for the Cup.
Fleury has been sharp this postseason, posting a 1.68 goals against average and a .947 save percentage in 15 games.
