    • Agrees to one-year deal
      Kunin signed a one-year, $2.75 million contract with San Jose on Sunday.

      Advice: Kunin collected 11 goals, 18 points, 98 shots on net and 165 hits across 77 games with the Sharks during the 2023-24 campaign. Despite having limited offensive upside, the 26-year-old forward could occupy a middle-six role and see power-play time next season. Rotowire.com Today, 9:37 am

    • Becomes Wild man in Draft Day trade
      Lauko has been traded to Minnesota from Boston in exchange for Vinni Lettieri, reports TSN.ca. The teams also exchanged 2024 fourth round picks.

      Advice: The 24-year-old Lauko spent 60 regular-season games with Boston in 2023-24, delivering two goals and eight assists along with 32 PIM. He got into two fights last season, both against the Wild. Lauko will vie for a bottom-six role in the land of lakes. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:04 am
       
    • Heads back to Boston in trade
      Lettieri has been acquired in trade by the Bruins from the Wild in exchange for Jakub Lauko, reports TSN.ca. The teams also exchanged 2024 fourth-round draft picks.

      Advice: Lettieri is a 29-year-old depth center who put up five goals and four assists in 46 regular-season games while averaging under 10 minutes a game with Minnesota in 2023-24. He has played 129 NHL games over the last six seasons, including one previous game with the Bruins in 2022-23. That season, Lettieri played 48 games with the Bruins' AHL affiliate in Providence, delivering 49 points (23 goals, 26 assists). Lettieri will vie for a role on the Bruins' fourth line in camp.

    • Traded to Pittsburgh
      Hayes was traded to Pittsburgh from St. Louis for future considerations Saturday, reports Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

      Advice: A second-round pick in 2025 goes with him, but it's the dreaded "future considerations" headed the other way in what's ostensibly a salary dump by the Blues. Hayes doesn't do much with the puck. He's not a fast skater, doesn't use his size and can't forecheck. But he can become a bottom-six pivot in Pittsburgh behind Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, as he won't be expected to provide offense. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:35 am
       
    • Heads to Tampa Bay in trade
      Geekie , J.J. Moser, a 2025 second-round pick and the No. 199 selection in the 2024 NHL Draft were acquired by Tampa Bay on Saturday from Utah in exchange for Mikhail Sergachev.

      Advice: Geekie was the 11th overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. He tallied 43 goals and 56 assists in 54 games between Wenatchee and Swift Current of the WHL in 2023-24. He also dressed for two playoff games for Utah's AHL affiliate in Tucson. Geekie immediately elevates Tampa Bay's thin prospect pool, especially down the middle. At 6-foot-4, the left-shooting pivot will eventually bring size, skill and vision to the Lightning. Geekie is continuing to work on his skating mechanics, as that was the knock on him on Draft Day.

    • 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
       
    • 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.

    • 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.
