NHL Transactions:

• Elias Petterssonsigned a three-year, entry-level contract with the Vancouver Canucks on Friday. The 19-year-old forward was selected by the Canucks with the No. 5 pick in the 2017 NHL Draft. Pettersson was named regular season and playoff MVP after helping Vaxjo win the Swedish Hockey League championship. He led the SHL with 56 points (24 goals, 32 assists) and a plus-27 rating in 44 regular-season games, and set a league record for most points by an under-20 player; the previous mark was 53 points by Kent Nilsson in 1975-76. Pettersson then led the SHL playoffs in goals (10) and points (19).
• Evander Kane signed a seven-year contract with the San Jose Sharks on Thursday.
• The New York Rangers will have the No. 9, No. 26 and No. 28 picks in the 2018 NHL Draft. The No. 28 pick was set when the Tampa Bay Lightning lost to the Washington Capitals in the Eastern Conference Final on Wednesday. The Rangers acquired the pick from the Lightning as part of the trade that sent defenseman Ryan McDonagh and forward T. Miller to Tampa Bay on Feb. 26. New York acquired the No. 26 pick from the Boston Bruins as part of the Rick Nash trade on Feb. 25. https://www.nhl.com/news/new-york-rangers-end-up-with-28th-pick-from-lightning/c-298776648
