The Pittsburgh Penguins have signed defenseman Phil Kemp to a two-year, two-way contract with a salary cap hit of $775,000. No announcement has been made by the team but Kemp was added to the NHL’s media website on Wednesday morning while Puckpedia had the financial terms of his new contract.

Last Friday, the Montreal Canadiens elected not to submit a qualifying offer to Rafael Harvey-Pinard. This didn’t necessarily mean they were done with him; they could have wanted to sign him again, but at a lower price.
