    • 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
       
    • Inks four-year deal
      Joshua agreed to terms on a four-year, $13 million contract with Vancouver on Thursday.

      Advice: Joshua is coming off a career year in which he set new personal bests in goals (18), assists (14) and shots (84) despite playing in just 63 regular-season games. If he can stay healthy in 2024-25, the 28-year-old winger should be capable of topping both the 20-goal and 40-point thresholds. Given his offensive upside, Joshua could be in the mix for power-play minutes during the campaign, a role that would further bolster his fantasy value. Rotowire.com Today, 10:30 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.

    • Dealt to Chicago
      Mikheyev, along with the negotiating rights to Sam Lafferty and a second-round pick in 2027, were traded from the Canucks to the Blackhawks on Wednesday in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round pick, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Mikheyev's a useful player, but his $4.75 million cap hit had become burdensome for the Canucks. This deal gives them cap flexibility heading into the draft and free agency, while the Blackhawks get a middle-six forward with speed and defensive skills to bolster their depth. Mikheyev had 31 points in 78 contests in 2023-24 after being limited to 28 points in 46 games due to a knee injury the year prior. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:22 pm
       
    • Sticking with Ottawa
      Highmore signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Senators on Wednesday, per PuckPedia.

      Advice: Highmore picked up two assists in seven NHL games last year, his first with the Senators. He added 31 points over 43 games with AHL Belleville. Highmore will have a chance to compete for a bottom-six role in training camp. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:31 pm
       
    • Staying with Vancouver
      Blueger signed a two-year, $3.6 million contract with the Canucks on Wednesday.

      Advice: Blueger was set to be a free agent Monday, but instead he'll return to the Canucks on a new deal. The 29-year-old matched his career high with 28 points in 68 contests in 2023-24, playing primarily in a third-line role. Given Vancouver's ample center depth, that's likely where Blueger will slot for 2024-25, pending any other additions up front. He'll also feature prominently on the team's penalty kill.

    • Making jump to North America
      Akhtyamov is expected to move to Toronto ahead of the 2024-25 campaign, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports Wednesday.

      Advice: Akhtyamov almost certainly will wind up with AHL Toronto this upcoming season considering he is just 22 years of age. Still, the backstop should get the opportunity to show the Maple Leafs what he can do during training camp. Last year with AK Bars in the KHL, Akhtyamov went 6-7-0 with a .921 save percentage and 2.51 GAA. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:42 am
