Nylander was the No.8 overall pick in 2016 but was traded to Chicago in 2019 and has spent all of 2022 with Rockford (AHL). Nylander who has 32 points (13G / 19A) in 84 career NHL games, has tallied 12 points (8G / 4A) in 23 AHL games this season. It's unclear whether or not he will report to the Penguins or the AHL.
Stevens was a fifth-round pick in 2016 and has spent the first four years of his professional career in the AHL. He has picked up three goals and nine assists (12 points) in 20 AHL games this season.
Bitten was a third-round pick of the Canadiens in 2016 but was traded to Minnesota in 2018. He has picked up just eight points (3G / 5A) in 23 AHL games with Iowa this season.
The Devils are worried about Jonathan Bernier's health, so they were looking for cheap goaltending help. Gillies showed he can handle the NHL in his season debut on Sunday, stopping 36 of 39 shots in a loss to the Ducks. The former third-round pick is 4-5-2 with a 2.72 GAA and .905 SV% in the NHL.
Gabriel is a massive body (6-foot-4, 200 lbs) who has one goal, one assist and 36 PIMS in 13 AHL games this season. The 2013 third-round pick has just five points (2G / 3A) in 49 career NHL games with the Wild, Devils, Sharks and Maple Leafs.
The Sabres have been searching for goaltending help and they found some in Subban, who was in the AHL and stuck behind Marc-Andre Fleury and Kevin Lankinen on the depth chart. Subban has gone 2-2-1 with a 3.38 GAA and .893 SV% in the AHL this season.
Sherwood has scored one goal with three assists in 13 games with Belleville this season. The 24-year-old forward has one assist in 11 career NHL games (with CBJ) and will likely report to Milwaukee (AHL).
With the Panthers adding a bunch of bodies up front in recent months, Lammikko was set to lose his roster spot in 2022. The 25-year-old forward had four goals and one assist (five points) in 44 games with the Panthers a season ago but is known more for his defensive game and penalty killing abilities. With Brandon Sutter and Tyler Motte both out to start the season, Lammikko has a good chance to make an impression early.
Juulsen is a former first-round pick who had his career thrown off track due to headache issues but gets a fresh start in Vancouver. It's a homecoming for the Surrey, BC native, who had no points in four NHL games and one assists in five AHL games a season ago.
Juolevi was the No.5 overall pick in 2016 but has struggled to make an impact at the NHL level to-date. A lot of that can be blamed on a variety of injuries that hurt his development along the way. Still, he's just 23-years-old and goes to Florida, where he could break into their top-6 at some point.
Brown was selected No.11 overall in 2016 but had a hard time gaining footing at the NHL-level. Since turning pro in 2019, Brown has scored just one goal and eight assists (nine points) in 30 games with the Senators. Brown will fight for a roster spot at the bottom of the Blues roster but will likely find himself on the outside looking in and start in the AHL.
After a breakout season with 16 goals, 14 assists (30 points) in 2020, Sanford struggled to find the same level of production in 2021. Sanford was thrust into a top-6 role with the Blues but is probably better as a third-liner, where he should find himself with the Senators.
