The Nashville Predators signed defenseman Anton Volchenkov to a one-year contract worth $1 million.

The Columbus Blue Jackets signed forward Corey Tropp to a two-year contract. Financial terms were not disclosed. Tropp, 24, scored two goals and finished with 11 points in 53 games last season. The Chicago Blackhawks hired Jimmy Waite as the team's goaltending coach. Waite appeared in 58 games with the Blackhawks over parts of eight seasons from 1988-97.

Ottawa general manager and executive vice president Bryan Murray was recently diagnosed with cancer. The specific type of cancer was not disclosed.

"Mr. Murray's treatment schedule may require him to be away from the Senators' office periodically." The Vancouver Canucks announced John Weisbrod was hired as the franchise's Vice President of Player Personnel.

Weisbrod and Canucks general manager Jim Benning previously worked together in the scouting department with the Boston Bruins. Weisbrod has also served as the general manager for the NBA's Orlando Magic. (Editing by Frank Pingue)
