After splitting last season between Calgary and Philadelphia, Jakob Pelletier will join his third organization in two years after signing a three-year, $2.525 million contract ($841,600 AAV) with Tampa Bay on Tuesday. The 24-year-old was Calgary's 2019 1st-round pick (26th overall) and has amassed 11 goals and 29 points in 86 games across three seasons. He will likely play a bottom-six role in Tampa Bay in the upcoming season.

After a successful season in Rockford (AHL), Cole Guttman has earned himself a two-year, $1.55 million contract ($750,000 AAV) with the Los Angeles Kings. The 26-year-old is likely to start the 2025-26 season in Ontario (AHL), where he is likely to continue his minor league success after putting up 23 goals and 57 points in 70 games played with Rockford (AHL) in 2024-25.

After five up-and-down seasons in New York that never consisted of more the 46 games played, Zac Jones has joined Buffalo on a one-year, two-way contract to provide some defensive depth. The 25-year-old defenseman posted career highs in games played (46), points (11), PIMs (24) and SOG (51) with New York last season. He should battle for the Sabres' final defensive spot out of training camp to start the season.

He is expected to start 2025-26 in Manitoba (AHL).

Raddysh will join his third NHL team in the last three seasons after agreeing to a two-year, $3 million contract ($1.5M AAV) with the Rangers on Day 1 of Free Agency. The 27-year-old is likely to play a bottom-six role in 2024-25 but has proven to have enough scoring ability to temporarily hold down a top-six spot if needed, as shown by his 20 goals and 37 points with Chicago in 2022-23.

Ottawa will keep a familiar face around after the team announced it will sign Wyatt Bongiovanni to a one-year, two-way contract.

One season after putting up 21 points in 29 games played with San Diego (AHL), Carson Meyer has earned himself a two-year, $1.55 million contract ($775,000 AAV) with Buffalo. The 27-year-old last appeared in the NHL in 2023-24 but has two goals and six points in 41 career games played.

Despite last appearing in the NHL in 2018-19, Benjamin Gleason has earned himself a one-year $800,000 contract with Minnesota on Tuesday. The 27-year-old appeared in 36 games between Bakersfield (AHL) and Lehigh Valley (AHL) in 2024-25, picking up three goals and 18 points. He is expected to start 2025-26 with Iowa (AHL) but should provide Minnesota with a call up option throughout the season.

Returning to North America after one season in the KHL, Ivan Prosvetov has signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with the Calgary Flames. The 26-year-old Russian netminder last appeared in the NHL with Colorado in 2023-24, making 11 starts. Last season with CSKA Moskva (KHL), he excelled with a 20-16-2 record, .920 SV% and 2.32 GAA.

San Jose added another depth piece for the Barracuda (AHL) on Tuesday after signing Samuel Laberge to a one-year, two-way contract.

San Jose added to their depth in the minors by signing 26-year-old forward Jimmy Huntington to a one-year, two-way contract. The Quebec native was limited to only four games in 2024-25 with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL) due to injury, but still has 17 goals and 37 points across 71 games in the AHL in the last two seasons.

After just 21 games played across two seasons in Ottawa, Angus Crookshank has joined his second organization after agreeing to a one-year, two-way contract with New Jersey on Tuesday.

The 25-year-old has appeared briefly for Montreal for the last six seasons, making 11 appearances in 2024-25, posting a 2-3-1 record, 4.70 GAA and .836 SV%. He will likely begin the season with Charlotte (AHL) in the minors, providing Carolina with goaltender depth throughout the season.

After three seasons in Vancouver, Phil Di Giuseppe will join his fifth NHL organization after signing a one-year, two-way contract with Winnipeg.

He will battle for a bottom-six spot out of training camp but is expected to start the season in Manitoba (AHL).
