    • Shuffles off to Buffalo
      Buffalo acquired Malenstyn from Washington on Saturday in exchange for the No. 43 overall pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft.

      Advice: Malenstyn played his first full season in the NHL in 2023-24, scoring six times while adding 15 assists and 241 hits in 81 regular-season games. The 26-year-old should see bottom-six time with the Sabres in 2024-25. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:29 am
       
    • Traded, signs two-year deal
      Texier was acquired by the Blues from the Blue Jackets on Friday in exchange for a 2025 fourth-round pick, per Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch. The trade also resulted in Texier inking a two-year, $4.2 million contract, according to PuckPedia.

      Advice: Texier had 12 goals and 30 points in 78 games with Columbus in 2023-24. Before signing his new deal, he was set to become a restricted free agent Monday. The 24-year-old should enter the 2024-25 campaign as a part of the Blues' bottom six. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:51 pm
       
    • Signs two-year deal
      Giles inked a two-year, two-way contract with the Panthers on Friday.

      Advice: Giles had 13 goals and 23 points in 66 regular-season contests with AHL Charlotte in 2023-24. The 24-year-old forward hasn't appeared in an NHL game. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:09 pm
       
    • Placed on unconditional waivers
      Atkinson was placed on unconditional waivers for the purposes of buying out his contract Friday.

      Advice: The 35-year-old winger has one year remaining on a seven-year contract. The Flyers will save $3.517 million this season and add $1.758 million in 2025-26 to their salary cap. Atkinson struggled in 2023-24, scoring only 13 goals and adding 15 assists in 70 regular-season appearances. Rotowire.com Friday, 9:11 am
       
    • 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 Thursday, 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.
