The Senators get an NHL-ready winger to help replace the loss of DeBrincat. Kubalik had a nice 202-23 season, scoring 20 goals with 25 assists (45 points) in 81 games for the Red Wings. However, Kubalik struggled with consistency. He posted 25 points (10G / 15A) in his first 25 games of the season but finished with just 20 points (10G / 10A) in his final 56 games. For now, Kubalik looks like a potential top-6 fit for the Senators but may best as a third-liner with Shane Pinto.

DeBrincat was an RFA that had made it known that he was not interested in re-signing with the Senators. After one season, where he scored 27 goals with 39 assists (66 points) in 82 games, DeBrincat was traded to his hometown team, where he immediately becomes their best goal-scorer and a crucial part of the Red Wings' rebuild. DeBrincat is a two-time 40-goal scorer and has averaged 38 goals and 38 assists (76 points) per 82-games over the last three seasons.

Edmundson has one year left on a contract that carries a $3.5M cap hit. Edmundson will solidify the Capitals' third pair and could be a candidate to skate with John Carlson. Edmundson had 13 points (2G / 11A), 112 hits and 149 blocked shots in 61 games with Montreal last season.

Chicago continues to acquire veteran leadership to help them through this transition period. Perry spent the last two seasons in Tampa, where he had 31 goals and 34 assists (65 points) in 163 games. Perry is a pending UFA, so the Blackhawks must get him under contract before Saturday.

Kostin is an RFA, who was traded to the Oilers last October for Dmitri Samorukov. The 2017 No.31 overall pick, had 11 goals and 10 assists (21 points) in 57 games last season. Kostin is a big body (6-3, 215 lbs) who is not afraid to throw his weight around, averaging 2.8 hits per game in 2022-23.

Yamamoto has one year left on his deal that carries a $3.1M cap hit. The move provides the Oilers with some much-needed cap space and gives the Red Wings added depth on the wing. Yamamoto was the No.22 overall pick in 2017 and has 118 points (50G / 68A) in 244 career games with the Oilers. Most recently, he had 10 goals and 15 assists (25 points) in 58 games during the 2022-23 season.

Smith had 26 goals, 30 assists, 180 SOG, 16 PIMs and a +11 plus/minus through 78 games before helping to lead the Vegas Golden Knights to a Stanley Cup Victory and has been traded Wednesday for a 3rd round draft pick. The 32-year-old was an inaugural member of the Golden Knights after being selected in the expansion draft in 2017. The veteran right-winger joins the Penguins with 200 career NHL goals, 273 assists and a +124 plus/minus through 764 games played.

Colton has been a solid middle-6 forward for the Lightning over the last two seasons, scoring 38 goals with 33 assists (71 points) while compiling 341 hits in 160 games. The Avalanche were in desperate need of bottom-6 help, with J.T. Compher, Lars Eller, Evan Rodrigues, Darren Helm, Matt Nieto and Andrew Cogliano all still unsigned and set to become UFAs on Saturday.

Sharangovich is a pending RFA that had just 30 points (13G / 17A) in 75 games in 2023. Sharangovich saw his minutes drop by over two minutes per game. The 25-year-old will likely play in a bottom-6 role, potentially on a line with Mikael Backlund in 2024.

Toffoli has one year left at $4.25 million and is coming off the best season of his career, posting career-bests in goals (34), assists (39) and points (73) in 82 games. Toffoli could have another 30-30 season playing alongside either Nico Hischier or Jack Hughes.

Agozzino had a goal and two assists with nine SOG through four games with San Jose in 2022-23 and has been traded to Anaheim for Andrej Sustr. The 32-year-old travelling left-winger has three goals, and 12 points across 51 NHL games played.

Sustr had three goals, 11 assists, 41 PIMs and a +8 plus/minus through 51 games with both the Iowa Wild (AHL) and San Diego Gulls (AHL) in 2022-23 and has been traded to San Jose for Andrew Agozzino. The 32-year-old defenseman last played in the NHL in 2021-22, picking up five assists in 23 games with Anaheim.

Iafallo had 14 goals, 22 assists, 133 SOG, 20 PIMs and a +14 plus/minus through 59 games with Los Angeles in 2022-23 and has been traded alongside Rasmus Kupari, Gabe Vilardi, and a 2nd Rd Pick to Winnipeg for Pierre-Luc Dubois. The 29-year-old left-winger has played all of his 420 NHL games in a Los Angeles Kings jersey, picking up 204 points (85G/119A) during the six-year span.

Kupari had three goals, 12 assists, 53 SOG, 12 PIMs and a -5 plus/minus through 66 games with Los Angeles in 2022-23 and has been traded alongside Gabriel Vilardii, Alex Iaffalo, and a 2nd Rd Pick to Winnipeg for Pierre-Luc Dubois. The 23-year-old centre was Los Angeles 2018 first round selection (20th overall) and has picked up 29 points (9G/20A) across 130 games played in the NHL.
