Dauphin, 23, has six goals and 14 assists (20 points) in 34 games with Tucson (AHL) this season. Dauphin has four points (3G / 1A) in 35 career NHL games and is expected to report to Milwaukee (AHL).
Emil is the older brother of Canucks star rookie Elias Pettersson. The 25-year-old was a sixth-round pick in 2013 and has registered 33 points (11G / 22A) in 49 games with Milwaukee (AHL) this season. Pettersson has never played in an NHL game and will report to Tucson (AHL) initially.
McLeod is one of the few remaining pugilists in the NHL, who was with the Predators last season before being claimed off of waivers by the Rangers. McLeod has one goal and 60 PIMS in 31 games this season and returns to Nashville, where his family remained after being claimed off of waivers.
After Austin Watson was suspended indefinitely, the Predators were in search of some bottom-6 help and they found it in Boyle. Boyle doesn’t have a lot of flair to his game but he’s a reliable two-way centre who can be a net-front asset on the power-play. Boyle has already set a career-high in power-play goals (6) and points (8), giving him a total of 13 goals and 19 points in 47 games this season.
Beaudin, 21, was a third-round pick in 2015 and has scored six goals with seven assists (13 points) in 42 games with Colorado (AHL) this season.
McCormick, 26, has 12 points (7G / 5A) in 20 games with Belleville (AHL) this season and 10 points (6G / 4A) in 71 career NHL games with the Ottawa Senators. McCormick will report to the Colorado Eagles (AHL).
Durzi was a second-round pick (No.52 overall) in 2018 but remains unsigned as he plays for the Guelph Storm (OHL). Durzi, who was traded by Owen Sound this season, has totalled eight goals and 20 assists (28 points) in just 26 OHL games between the two teams.
Grundstrom was one of the Maple Leafs’ top prospects and has been enjoying a quality campaign with the Marlies, scoring 13 goals with 16 assists (29 points) in 42 games. Grundstrom, a former second-round pick, plays a physical two-way game but doesn’t project to be much of a high-end scorer at the NHL-level.
Toronto needed to bolster their blueline and did so by adding Muzzin, who has spent the first seven seasons of his career in Los Angeles. The Maple Leafs really needed a right-handed defenseman but Muzzin was a much cheaper alternative and goes to Toronto with one more season on his contract that carries a $4.0M AAV cap-hit. Muzzin, who is 6-foot-3, 213 lbs., who can produce solid offensive numbers and play physically. He projects to play on the top-pair with Morgan Rielly, which will allow Ron Hainsey to play significantly less taxing minutes.
The Penguins acquired Oleksiak from the Stars last season for the very same fourth-round pick that the Stars just sent back to them. It was essentially an 83-game loan, where Oleksiak had eight goals and 17 assists (25 points). The move frees up $2.1375M in cap space for the Penguins.
The Golden Knights needed to move a body or two and Hunt was a logical candidate. Hunt often sits as a healthy scratch, appearing in just 13 of 51 games this season. However, Hunt is a capable producer of offence from the blueline, picking up seven points (2G / 5A) in those games and could play regularly in Minnesota. Hunt has 34 career points (7G / 27A) in 91 NHL games with the Oilers, Blues, Predators and Golden Knights.
Bailey was a second-round pick in 2013 and has picked up eight points (5G / 3A) in 52 career NHL games. During his time in the AHL, Bailey has registered nine goals and 11 assists in 37 games with Rochester.
Leier was a fourth-round pick back in 2012 and has registered just seven points (2G / 5A) in 55 career NHL games with the Flyers. The 24-year-old has performed well in the AHL, picking up 10 goals and nine assists in 34 games this season.
Blandisi has spent the majority of the season with San Diego (AHL), where he had 23 points (8G / 15A) in 27 games. The 24-year-old could replace Grant as the Penguins 12th/13th forward. He has 26 points (8G / 18A) in 74 career NHL games with the Devils and Ducks.
