This confirms those rumors on Jones, Haydar and Willsie.  Very happy to see Weiman back (He was actually a group VI UFA).  Especially since Bacashihua was let go.  Kudos to Jori for her early observations that most these players had been re-signed in addition to Kyle Cumiskey and Philippe Dupuis, both of whom we still have yet to receive official confirmation on.

Willsie needs to play just 24 NHL games to hit the magic number of 400 games played at which point he will be eligible to receive a pension.   

No announcement on the numbers just yet.  We'll wait to hear on those.
