  • Signs one-year deal
    Back signed a one-year, two-way contract with Dallas on Tuesday.

    Advice: Back collected seven goals and 36 points in 59 regular-season contests for AHL Texas in 2023-24. The 24-year-old forward doesn't have any NHL experience yet. Back will probably spend most, if not all, of the 2024-25 campaign in the minors. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:43 pm
     
  • Snags two-way deal
    Bongiovanni agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with Ottawa on Tuesday.

    Advice: Bongiovanni has yet to make his NHL debut after originally signing with Winnipeg coming out of Quinnipiac University. In the minors this season, the 24-year-old center notched 16 goals and nine assists in 48 combined games for AHL Manitoba and AHL Belleville. At this point, the Michigan native looks like a long shot to become a full-time NHL player, though his new two-way deal will allow him to be on the list of potential call-ups during the 2024-25 campaign.

  • Scores lone goal in Game 7 loss
    Janmark scored a goal in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 7.

    Advice: Janmark had four points over the last four games, but the Oilers weren't able to complete a comeback for the ages. The 31-year-old forward produced eight points in 25 playoff outings after being limited to 12 points in 71 regular-season contests. He's one of seven NHL-level unrestricted free-agent forwards for the Oilers, and it's unclear if he'll re-sign with the team. Janmark's defensive skills could make him a coveted depth option for any number of teams if he makes it to the market July 1. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:17 pm
     
  • Pockets assist in Game 7 win
    Lundell registered an assist in Monday's 2-1 win over the Oilers in Game 7.

    Advice: Lundell didn't score a goal in June, but he had six assists over eight contests. The 22-year-old center wrapped up the postseason with 17 points, 29 shots on net, 44 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating while playing in a key two-way role on the third line. He's set to be a restricted free agent this summer after reaching the end of his entry-level deal, and it's likely the Panthers find a way to keep him around. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:05 pm
     
  • Sent to Boston
    The Senators traded Kastelic (upper body), Joonas Korpisalo and a 2024 first-round draft pick to the Bruins in exchange for Linus Ullmark on Monday.

    Advice: Kastelic is currently set to become a restricted free agent after the 2024-25 campaign but will give the Bruins a cheap depth option for at least a year. The 25-year-old forward tallied five goals and 10 points while averaging 7:43 of ice time in 63 games last season. He'll compete for a bottom-six role in training camp.
