    • 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 Today, 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.

    • Expected to be ready for 2024-25
      Although McDavid played through an injury during at least part of the postseason, he won't require surgery and will be good for training camp, Ryan Rishaug of TSN reports Thursday.

      Advice: McDavid had an incredible eight goals and 42 points in 25 playoff contests this year. His 34 assists is a new record, topping Wayne Gretzky's single postseason high of 31 from 1987-88, and the 27-year-old McDavid was also the first player to collect at least 40 points in a playoff run since Gretzky in 1992-93. Those accomplishments earned McDavid the Conn Smythe Trophy despite Edmonton finishing short of the championship. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:25 pm
       
    • 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 Yesterday, 10:30 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.

    • 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 Wednesday, 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.

    • 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 Wednesday, 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 Tuesday, 1:43 pm
