While the NHL season is still a few weeks away from commencing, many European leagues are in the process of starting their regular seasons as we speak. With those starts come a flurry of roster moves, and we’ll keep track of those here today.
- Martin Reway, a former fourth-round draft pick of the Montreal Canadiens in 2013, has been released by HC Kosice of the Slovakian Extraliga, Slovakian outlet Sportnet reports. Reway no longer remains on Montreal’s reserve list after the team terminated his entry-level contract on October 29, 2017. Reway had played just five professional games in North America at the time, scoring two points in five games with the AHL’s Laval Rocket after missing the entire 2016-17 campaign. Reway’s shown the ability to produce at every level, including his 30 points in 39 games with Kosice just last season. While unlikely he’ll be a factor at the NHL level, it’s unknown whether Reway is interested in a return to North America.
- HC Plzen of the Czech Extraliga announced the signing of winger Martins Dzierkals to a one-year contract. The 24-year-old spent last season in the KHL, notching 24 points in 52 games with Dinamo Riga. Dzierkals’ NHL rights were traded to Vegas as part of the Robin Lehner move back in 2020 and the Golden Knights continue to hold his rights.
