Edmonton Oilers Place Four Players On Waivers

at CDT | by 4 Comments

The defending Western Conference champion Edmonton Oilers are placing four players on waivers as they put the finishing touches on their 2024-25 opening night roster. The organization announced it had placed forwards Drake Caggiula and Raphael Lavoie, defenseman Josh Brown, and goaltender Olivier Rodrigue on waivers.

Caggiula and Brown are depth players with an outside chance of making the roster in specific roles. Neither player was expected to play meaningful minutes for the Oilers this season but will now start the season with their AHL affiliate, the Bakersfield Condors, assuming both clear waivers tomorrow.

The demotion of Brown will give Edmonton some cap relief, as well. The organization signed Brown to a three-year, $3MM contract on the opening day of free agency this past summer and the Oilers can now entirely remove that cap hit since his salary falls below the $1.25MM threshold.

Placing Lavoie on waivers to start the season may be a bold call by Edmonton’s brass. The team drafted Lavoie with the 38th overall pick of the 2019 NHL Draft and he’s coming off back-to-back quality campaigns with the Condors. He’s proven to be a quality scorer at the AHL level with 53 goals and 95 points in 127 games since the start of the 2022-23 AHL season.

Lavoie appeared to be an NHL-caliber scorer the Oilers could plug into their bottom-six to start the year and there’s a legitimate chance he’ll be on another team’s roster by tomorrow afternoon. If not, he will start the year in Bakersfield and should serve as an immediate call-up should the Oilers find themselves in injury trouble early.

Rodrigue struggled early upon his start with the Condors during the 2020-21 AHL season but has grown his prospect quality since. He finished last season with a 19-12-5 record in Bakersfield with a .916 SV% and 2.73 GAA. His demotion is mostly circumstantial as Edmonton doesn’t have the financial flexibility to carry three netminders during the season. Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard will start the year as the team’s tandem.

Blue Jackets’ Boone Jenner Expected To Start Season On IR

at CDT | by 1 Comment

The Columbus Blue Jackets are expected to place team captain Boone Jenner on injured reserve to begin the year, shares Aaron Portzline of The Athletic. Jenner joins Dmtri Voronkov on the team’s season-opening IR. Portzline shares that both players are expected to miss extended time, with one source suggesting that they could miss months. The organization doesn’t plan to reveal either player’s timeline, though general manager Don Waddell did mention that Jenner is visiting specialists and will be out for, “a while”.

Jenner suffered the injury after losing an edge and careening into the wall in the team’s Friday practice. He’ll move forward with an official upper-body injury, entering yet another season with complications after missing at least 10 games in each of the last four years. He missed a month of action last season due to a fractured jaw, and had both his 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons ended early by back injuries. Jenner is productive when he does play, recording at least 20 goals in three straight seasons and totaling 141 points in 226 games since 2020. That’s good enough for second on the Blue Jackets in scoring in that timeframe, behind Jack Roslovic, who’s now signed with the Carolina Hurricanes.

The Blue Jackets are now missing two of their top three goal-scorers from the 2023-24 season with Jenner and Voronkov on IR, adding even more stress to what’s been an unfathomably difficult summer for Columbus. The vacant minutes are likely to be spread among the team’s many up-and-coming prospects, with James Malatesta and Yegor Chinakhov both still on the NHL roster. Columbus could also award recent signee Kevin Labanc with a hardy role after he scored a league-leading six goals in four preseason games.

East Notes: Mateychuk, Labanc, Meneghin

at CDT | by Leave a Comment

In their lone roster cut of the morning, the Columbus Blue Jackets have loaned top prospect Denton Mateychuk to the AHL’s Cleveland Monsters. Their camp roster now sits at 28 players. Mateychuk has been a standout of Columbus’ training camp, standing as the final defenseman on the roster with no NHL experience until this cut. He led the Moose Jaw Warriors to a WHL Championship last year, totaling 105 points across just 72 games. Eight defenders remain on Columbus’ roster, including top youngster David Jiricek and recent trade acquisition Jordan Harris.

Mateychuk has been a top prospect since he was young, making the jump to juniors at just 16. He earned a full-time WHL role in 2021-22 and scored 64 points in 65 games as a rookie. That point-per-game scoring carried through, ultimately earning Mateychuk 215 points in 203 career games in Moose Jaw. He showed prowess in all three zones, even serving as the team’s captain in his final two years. While his professional career will start in the minors, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Mateychuk receive an NHL look soon.

Other notes from around the league:

  • The Columbus Blue Jackets recently signed preseason-star Kevin Labanc off of his professional try-out with the New Jersey Devils, though that wasn’t because of any lack of effort on New Jersey’s part. The Devils reportedly offered Labanc the same contract he signed in Columbus, but would have needed to assign him to the AHL before guaranteeing him an everyday role, shares James Nichols of NJ Hockey Now. Labanc opted for the open role in Columbus, and will now join one of the league’s youngest rosters. He scored a six goals and seven points in four preseason games, leading the league in the former stat.
  • Tampa Bay Lightning goalie prospect Harrison Meneghin has been traded in the WHL, moving from the Lethbridge Hurricanes to the Medicine Hat Tigers. Medicine Hat has been searching for a starting goaltender since the start of the season, and now settle on Meneghin, who managed a .919 save percentage in 53 games with Lethbridge last season. That was enough to earn a seventh-round selection in the 2024 NHL Draft. Meneghin will now look to continue his strong play into a new setting, now backing up top prospects like Gavin McKenna, Cayden Lindstrom, Andrew Basha, and Veeti Vaisanen.

Bruins Re-Sign Jeremy Swayman

at CDT | by 22 Comments

The Boston Bruins have signed star goaltender Jeremy Swayman to an eight-year, $66MM contract extension, finally ending the stalemate between the Bruins and the league’s final unsigned restricted free agent. The signing was first reported by Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman and seconded by Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic. LeBrun adds that the deal contains over $20MM in signing bonuses – likely one of the pieces that held up negotiations. Friedman confirmed that number as $23MM and adds that Swayman’s deal contains a no-trade clause.

Talks between the two sides became a bit theatrical at their peak, with Swayman vocal about wanting to sign a perceived fair deal while the Bruins’ brass lambasted his decision to holdout. Swayman missed the entirety of Boston’s training camp, ironically signing his long-term deal just hours after their final preseason game.

That delay could create a bit of a challenge, as Swayman is undoubtedly set to be Boston’s workhorse this season. The Bruins traded away former Vezina Trophy winner Linus Ullmark this season, finally clearing the congestion after three years of platooning the two goalies. Ullmark was sent to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for goaltender Joonas Korpisalo, forward prospect Mark Kastelic, and a 2024 first-round pick used to select centerman Dean Letourneau.

Ullmark’s trade freed up well over 40 starts, which should now trickle largely down to Swayman. The latter earned the lion’s share of appearances for the first time in his career last season, posting 25 wins and a .916 save percentages in 44 games – narrowly beating out Ullmark’s 22 wins and .915 in 40 games. It was Swayman’s third-straight season posting a save percentage north of .910, including the career-high .920 he set in 37 games of the 2022-23 season. That hot performance coupled with a Vezina-winning season from Ullmark (.938 in 49 games) to ultimately earn the Bruins pairing the William M Jennings Trophy for highest save percentage as a starting tandem.

Swayman, 25, is still young into his career. But he’s shown acumen on par with the best in the league. Through 132 career games across four seasons, Swayman has managed a dazzling 79 wins and .919 save percentage. He ranks fourth among all NHL goalies in save percentage since making his debut in 2020 – a list that is, coincidentally, led by Ullmark. That may suggest that Swayman’s setting behind a stout Bruins lineup is certainly ideal, though his success between the pipes extends far beyond Massachusetts. Swayman joined the Bruins immediately following the conclusion of his junior year at the University of Maine, where he made a strong case as the best goalie across a league that also featured Jake Oettinger and Spencer Knight. Swayman rivaled a save percentage of .920 in all three years, maxing out with 18 wins and an incredible .939 save percentage in 34 games in his final year.

The trio of strong years at the University of Maine vindicated Boston’s 2017 fourth-round selection of Swayman in a big way. He was drafted after – go figure – a strong year in the USHL, though his .914 save percentage would be overshadowed by a losing 7-18-3 record. It was a rare down year for the Sioux City Musketeers, coming off a year as the Clark Cup runner-ups. But Swayman persevered, ultimately landing at pick 111 in the draft – just one pick after the Toronto Maple Leafs selected goaltender Ian Scott.

Now, seven years later, Swayman is the unrivaled starter in Boston. He’ll prepare for north of 60 games this season – assuming his delayed start to the year doesn’t hold him up – while Boston turns their attention towards the much tougher question of who should back him up. Korpisalo is certainly the de facto choice, largely thanks to the $3MM cap hit he carries through the next four seasons. Korpisalo only received two preseason appearances, allowing three goals on 47 shots – good for a .936 save percentage. That’s certainly stout, but he’ll face plenty of pressure from reigning AHL starter Brandon Bussi, who saved 81 of the 90 (.900) shots he faced through four preseason appearances. Bussi posted a .913 in 41 AHL games last year – his first time dipping below .920 since turning pro in 2021. At the very least, his continued performances in preseason will earn him the edge over Michael DiPietro for the starting role in Providence.

Boston’s goaltending strength once again runs through the depths of the roster, with their franchise goaltender now locked up for the foreseeable future. The Bruins will carry a projected $386.67K of cap space into the new season – likely enough to require one more money-clearing move. They’ll look to rejoin the race for best in the East. Next summer will prove much less stressful, with team captain Brad Marchand the only high-money name in need of a new deal.

Hurricanes Sign Skyler Brind’Amour

at CDT | by 13 Comments

The Carolina Hurricanes have signed forward Skyler Brind’Amour to a one-year, two-way, league-minimum contract per David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period.

Brind’Amour played in his first professional season last year, recording a measly eight points across 54 games with the Charlotte Checkers. He made the jump to the pros after four years at Quinnipiac University, where he improved his scoring every season, ultimately maxing out at 14 goals and 32 points in 41 games in his senior year. It was the right time to pop, with Brind’Amour filling a pivotal depth role in Quinnipiac’s first run to the NCAA championship.

Brind’Amour was originally drafted in the 2017 sixth-round by the Edmonton Oilers, after scoring 50 points in 48 games of triple-A hockey and one point in eight USHL games. He followed the draft selection with a pair of seasons in the BCHL, where he combined for 68 points across 104 games. That was enough to earn a commitment to Quinnipiac University in 2018, where he was able to solidify his ability as a fundamental depth forward – though his rights with Edmonton would expire in 2023.

Now 25, Brind’Amour will look to find his scoring at a pro level. He’ll be under the control of an NHL organization for the first time, which could make it easier to rotate him between AHL and ECHL roles as he searches for a groove.

Snapshots: Kings, Mukhamadullin, Karlsson, Palat

at CDT | by Leave a Comment

The Los Angeles Kings will start the season with some cap juggling, per John Hoven with LA’s Mayors Manor. Hoven shares that the team will begin the year with depth forward Andre Lee on the roster, in an effort to reach cap compliance while they sort out injuries to Drew Doughty and Arthur Kaliyev. Both players could be candidates for long-term injured reserve, though that’d be a last resort as the team considers the juxtaposition of cap versus salary. Making matters even more complicated in Los Angeles’ preference to carry eight defenders, including summer signee Caleb Jones, who’s making his return to the NHL after splitting time between the major and minor leagues last year.

The Kings will have a complicated path to walk. They’re entering the year with just $546.67K in cap space, hardly enough to handle the day-to-day logistics of running a team. That’s largely thanks to their summer acquisition of goaltender Darcy Kuemper, and Quinton Byfield’s five-year extension – two moves that collectively cost the Kings $11.5MM in space. Both players will serve pivotal roles for the lineup in the early going, especially as the team prepares for an extended period without top-defender Doughty.

Other notes from around the league:

  • Top San Jose Sharks prospect Shakir Mukhamadullin has finally made his way into the team’s camp practices, shares Curtis Pashelka of The Mercury News, after a lower-body injury held him out of all of the team’s rookie camp and training camp to this point. Mukhamadullin was expected to be one of the top young Sharks pushing for the roster this fall, though new head coach Ryan Warsofsky acknowledged that the injury puts him a step behind. Mukhamadullin made his NHL debut last season, recording one assist in three games to go with his 34 points in 55 AHL games. He’ll be among the many young players fighting for NHL ice time when he has healthy legs back under him.
  • Star Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Erik Karlsson is expected to be ready for the team’s season opener after missing much of the preseason with an upper-body injury, shares the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Matt Vensel. Karlsson added that the season opener has always been his target, and that his recovery briefly slowed down in the middle of camp to, “let a few things settle down.” The future Hall-of-Fame candidate is set to enter his 16th NHL season, coming off yet another season of double-digit goals and over-50 points. He’ll look to return to those heights once again, with head coach Mike Sullivan already confirming that he’ll be a fixture of the team’s power-play, per Tribune-Review Sports’ Seth Rorabaugh.
  • New Jersey Devils forward Ondrej Palat missed the team’s second game of the season to attend to the birth of his second child. He is expected to rejoin the team when they return to North America. Palat appeared in nearly 14 minutes of New Jersey’s season opener in his native Czechia, recording one shot, one block, and two hits. He’s continued to find ways to be productive late into his career, netting 11 goals and 31 points in 71 games last season. Palat will continue to serve as a winger New Jersey can lean on as they look to continue their bout of early success.

Injury Notes: Sabres, Penguins, Ryan, Jarnkrok

at CDT | by Leave a Comment

The Buffalo Sabres’ depth will be tested just two games into the season, with top-six wingers John-Jason Peterka (concussion) and Zach Benson (lower-body) both facing injury, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News. No timeline was provided for either player. Benson was held out of the team’s Saturday morning game in favor of top prospect Jiri Kulich, while Peterka exited the game after just three shifts. Lysowski added that team captain Rasmus Dahlin also seems unhealthy, despite being the team’s clear-cut top defender through their first two games.

The menagerie of injuries is weighing heavily on the Sabres, who lost both games in the Prague series by a combined score of 7-2. Peterka recorded the primary assist on Buffalo’s first goal of the year – making a strong play behind the net to set up Owen Power in the slot. Those are the hard-nosed plays Peterka has become known for in his early career, a big part of how he managed 28 goals and 50 points last season. Despite being in his age-18 season, Benson wasn’t too far behind – netting 11 goals and 30 points of his own, though he did miss 11 games to injury last year. Both players are not only core pieces of the present Sabres lineup, but pillars of the team’s future. Their healthy and speedy recovery will be paramount as the team looks to find their bearings when they return to America.

Other injury updates from around the league:

  • The Pittsburgh Penguins are also bearing through a pair of injuries, with both Bryan Rust and Vasiliy Ponomarev listed as day-to-day per Tribune-Review Spots’ Seth Rorabaugh. No details or timeline were provided. Rust has missed the bulk of Pittsburgh’s preseasons with what were originally described as maintenance days, before this injury designation. He’ll have his eyes set on the team’s top line when he returns to full health, having posted a commendable 56 points – split evenly – in just 62 appearances last year. Ponomarev doesn’t have the same lineup security, though his 30 points in 43 AHL games last season could be enough to warrant a test in the bottom-six. Any bout with the Penguins would be notable for the 23-year-old Ponomarev, who made his NHL debut with Carolina last season – scoring two points in two games.
  • Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch listed forward Derek Ryan as day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, shares Tony Barr of Oilers TV. Ryan has continued skating at the tail end of Edmonton’s practices, though he was held out of the team’s final preseason game on Friday. He’ll be in the mix for fourth-line minutes when he returns, likely set to return to the role that earned him 12 points in 70 games last season.
  • Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube has confirmed Calle Jarnkrok’s lower-body injury is nagging, telling TSN’s Mark Masters that it’s the same injury that limited the forward at the start of training camp. Jarnkrok has only appeared in two preseason games, and continues to miss practices as a result of his injury. He’ll be a bottom-six multitool when he returns, though Jarnkrok first faces the test of overcoming a lingering issue.

Liam Ohgren, Jesper Wallstedt Expected To Make Wild Roster

at CDT | by 3 Comments

Minnesota is expected to maintain top prospects Liam Ohgren and Jesper Wallstedt on their opening night roster, per Michael Russo of The Athletic. Minnesota’s brass has named both players as favorites to make the team since the start of training camp.

The Wild are showing no hesitation in placing perhaps the league’s best goalie prospect – Wallstedt – into a three-man rotation with Marc-Andre Fleury and Filip Gustavsson. All three goaltenders made two appearances in the preseason, with Wallstedt leading the trio in save percentage with a .930 to Fleury’s .925 and Gustavsson’s .898.

Fleury and Gustavsson split starts last year, making 40 and 45 appearances respectively. Neither were particularly productive, each posting save percentages below .900 – a feat Fleury hadn’t managed since his rookie season of 2005-06. Those muddling performances leave plenty of room for excitement in Minnesota’s goaltending room – something Wallstedt may be able to bring quickly. The former first-round pick has posted two strong seasons as an AHL starter, collectively posting 40 wins and a .909 save percentage in 83 appearances.

Ohgren should have a much clearer path to an NHL role, having spent five preseason games on the team’s third-line. He certainly seemed comfortable in the role, posting one goal and one assist – the same statline he managed in his first four NHL games at the end of last season. An upper-body injury delayed the start of Ohgren’s 2023-24 to late November, but he played well immediately upon returning, ultimately recording 19 points in 27 games in Sweden’s SHL –  the highest scoring pace of any U20 SHL player last season. Wild general manager Bill Guerin has previously praised Ohgren’s ability to produce from any spot in the lineup, which could mean he’ll have to work his way up to a high-usage role – though a fully healthy season could make quick work of that challenge.

Both Ohgren and Wallstedt seem poised to bring big impacts to the Minnesota lineup – a welcome relief to the team that ranked in the bottom 15 of both goals scored and goals allowed last season. They’ll each be names to watch closely, as Ohgren fights for healthy footing and Wallstedt looks to claw above two proven NHL starters.
