Another depth forward comes off the market as Konopka inks a two-year deal with the Minnesota Wild. I was hoping Glen Sather would be working the phones to bring him in.

The Ottawa Senators swapped a pair of assets on the first day of free agency, adding blue liner Mike Lundin -- formerly of Tampa Bay -- and forward Guillaume Latendresse -- formerly of Minnesota -- in the process.
