Beyond the odd re-signing, it has been quiet on the transactions front in recent days across the NHL. However, there have been a handful of smaller moves with some NHL ties. We’ll run the ones not already covered elsewhere here.
- Former NHLer Tomas Jurco is on the move again as KHL Kunlun announced (Twitter link) that they’ve signed the winger to a one-year deal. Jurco played in 221 career NHL games between four different teams, tallying 22 goals and 31 assists. The 31-year-old split last season between Switzerland and Russia and does have a history with Kunlun having spent the 2022-23 campaign with them where he set the franchise record for points per game average after recording 25 points in 32 contests with them.
- Washington’s farm team in Hershey announced that they’ve signed forward Erik Mittendorf to a one-year deal. The 24-year-old split last season between AHL Utica and ECHL Adirondack. With the Comets, Mittendorf picked up nine points in 24 games in his first taste of action at that level. He was much more productive with the Thunder, however, tallying 18 goals and 14 assists in 36 games while tacking on six points in a dozen playoff contests.
- The Henderson Silver Knights, affiliate of Vegas, announced a pair of recent moves. First, they re-signed blueliner Brandon Hickey to a one-year deal. The 28-year-old will return for his third season with Henderson after he picked up eight points in 35 games in 2023-24. They also re-upped forward Jett Jones on a one-year agreement. The 21-year-old played his first professional campaign last season after spending parts of five years in the WHL. Jones picked up five points in 31 games with the Silver Knights and added six more in 36 contests with ECHL Savannah.
