    • Rights moved in Mikheyev trade
      Lafferty's negotiating rights, along with Ilya Mikheyev and a second-round pick in 2025, were traded from the Canucks to the Blackhawks 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 2025, 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 19 minutes ago
       
    • 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 Today, 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 Today, 8:42 am
       
    • Inks three-year deal
      O'Brien signed a three-year contract with Utah HC on Wednesday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

      Advice: O'Brien had five goals, 14 points, 153 PIM and 228 hits in 75 contests with the Coyotes in 2023-24. The 29-year-old is likely to serve primarily on the fourth line for the upcoming season. He was eligible to become an unrestricted free agent Monday after completing his two-year, $1.55 million contract. Rotowire.com Today, 8:05 am
       
    • 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
       
    • Inks two-year contract
      Kolyachonok signed a two-year contract with Utah on Tuesday.

      Advice: Kolyachonok earned one goal, three assists, five shots on net, six blocked shots and four hits in five NHL outings this past season. He also collected eight goals and 11 points in 36 regular-season contests for AHL Tucson during the 2023-24 campaign. He will compete for a depth spot on the Utah blue line during training camp in the fall. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:52 am
       
    • Staying with club
      DeMelo inked a four-year, $19.6 million contract with Winnipeg on Tuesday.

      Advice: DeMelo was able to get a new deal signed ahead of the start of free agency Monday, tying himself to the Jets for another four seasons. Last year, the veteran blueliner played in all 82 regular-season contests while putting up three goals, 28 assists and 83 shots. While DeMelo is never going to be a Norris Trophy candidate, he should be able to replicate that production next season, making him a decent mid-range fantasy target. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:09 am
