    • Not getting qualifying offer
      Shaw isn't expected to receive a qualifying offer, per Michael Russo of The Athletic on Thursday, which sets him up to become an unrestricted free agent Monday.

      Advice: Shaw had a goal, three points and 34 PIM in 20 contests with Minnesota in 2023-24. He also provided four goals and seven points across nine games with AHL Iowa. Shaw is likely to attract attention as a potential fourth-line option, but he'll presumably need to fight for his spot during training camp with any squad that signs him.

    • Flipped to Washington
      Mangiapane was traded from the Flames to the Capitals on Thursday in exchange for a 2025 second-round pick.

      Advice: Mangiapane has reached the 40-point mark in each of the last three seasons, though his offense has been down since his 35-goal, 55-point effort in 2021-22. The 28-year-old winger is a solid complementary piece, capable of playing on both sides while also seeing ice time in all situations. He'll likely feature in a middle-six role for the Capitals, potentially replacing someone like Max Pacioretty, who is expected to enter free agency. Rotowire.com Today, 5:13 pm
       
    • Won't be qualified
      McDonough won't be given a qualifying offer from the Canucks and will become an unrestricted free agent Monday, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK reports.

      Advice: McDonough spent all of 2023-24 with AHL Abbotsford, earning 19 points in 58 contests. The seventh-round pick from 2019 is expected to have interest on the open market, but his lack of success upon his move to the professional ranks will likely mean he needs some time in the AHL again in 2024-25.

    • Signs three-year deal
      Myers inked a three-year, $9 million contract with the Canucks on Thursday.

      Advice: Myers had five goals, 29 points, 77 PIM, 110 hits and 136 blocks in 77 regular-season contests with Vancouver in 2023-24. He's taking a significant pay cut compared to his previous seven-year, $38.5 million contract, but that's appropriate given that he'll turn 38 before this deal expires. Myers is likely to start the 2024-25 campaign on the second or third pairing. Rotowire.com Today, 3:40 pm
       
    • Not getting qualifying offer
      Ylonen won't receive a qualifying offer from the Canadiens, per Arpon Basu of The Athletic on Thursday, which will make him an unrestricted free agent Monday.

      Advice: Ylonen had four goals and eight points in 59 contests with Montreal in 2023-24. He's coming off a one-year, two-way agreement. Ylonen will probably end up settling for a two-way contract somewhere, but the 24-year-old should have a real shot of earning an NHL roster spot out of training camp with whatever squad he joins.

    • Involved in trade
      Burroughs was acquired by the Kings from the Sharks on Thursday in exchange for Carl Grundstrom.

      Advice: Burroughs had two goals, eight points, 71 PIM, 233 hits and 134 blocks in 73 contests with San Jose in 2023-24. He has two seasons remaining on his three-year, $3.3 million contract. Although the 28-year-old won't make much of an offensive impact with LA, the gritty blueliner figures to plug in nicely on the Kings' third pairing. While his minus-42 rating was the fifth worst in the league, the move to LA should have a massive positive impact on him in that category. Rotowire.com Today, 11:25 am
       
    • On his way to San Jose
      Grundstrom was traded to San Jose from Los Angeles for Kyle Burroughs on Thursday.

      Advice: Grundstrom had eight goals and four points in 50 regular-season games for the Kings this season, before missing the final 32 contests with a lower-body injury. He returned to play in all five first-round playoff games versus Edmonton but was unable to garner a point. Grundstrom should have an opportunity to see top-six minutes with the Sharks, who are lacking in offensive depth at this time. Rotowire.com Today, 11:22 am
       
    • Set for buyout
      Suter will be bought out of the last year of his contract by the Stars, Jeff Marek of Sportsnet reports Thursday.

      Advice: Suter is still on the books for the Wild after they previously bought out his contract and will now potentially be costing three different clubs cap space -- assuming he signs elsewhere when the free-agent window opens Monday. During his three-year stint with the Stars, the veteran defenseman played all 246 regular-season games, in which he tallied 12 goals and 62 assists. Given his age, the Madison, Wisconsin native could also opt to hang up his skates rather than extend his career. Rotowire.com Today, 7:07 am
       
    • Rights moved in Mikheyev trade
      Lafferty's negotiating rights, along with Ilya Mikheyev and a second-round pick in 2027, were traded to the Blackhawks from the Canucks for a fourth-round pick in 2027 on Wednesday, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Lafferty had not agreed to a contract at the time of the trade, but the Blackhawks will have until Sunday night to negotiate with him exclusively before free agency opens Monday. If he signs with Chicago, this would be Lafferty's second stint with the team. He earned 32 points over 97 contests across parts of two seasons with the Blackhawks, and he continued his solid depth scoring with 24 points in 79 outings with the Canucks in 2023-24.
