Walman underwent shoulder surgery and will not be ready for the start of the 2022-23 season.

Walman was acquired from the Blues for Nick Leddy at the trade deadline and had four assists in 19 games with the Red Wings. With Walman out for the start of the season, there's a very good chance that rookie Simon Edvinsson will start the season with the Red Wings.

The Sharks have signed C.J. Suess to a one-year contract.

Suess was a fifth-round pick in 2014 and has appeared in just four NHL games since. Three of those games came in 2022 but he spent most of the season in the AHL, where he had 14 goals and 14 assists (28 points) in 46 games. He'll likely report to the AHL to start 2022-23.

The Kraken have signed Andrew Poturalski to a two-year contract.

Poturalski led the AHL with 101 points (28G / 73A) in 71 games a season ago but only appeared in two NHL games with the Hurricanes. The 28-year-old has been great in the AHL but has yet to make a splash at the NHL-level. Given the Kraken's depth issues at forward, Poturalski could finally get a real NHL shot at some point in 2022-23.
