Some news on recent signings, PTO’s and Waiver news as well as trade rumours for Chychrun, Joseph and Montreal
Today I give my opinion on some recent signings, and update on the PTO’s, some more Waiver news and 3 trade rumours I give my opinion on involving Joseph, Chychrun and Montreal.

Hoffman and Armia still the front runners to be dealt before the season starts.
The Canadiens are still dealing with a lot of forward bodies right now and while I would say that Slafkovsky might be destined for the minors this team would still have to put a few good bodies on waivers and I can’t really see them doing that after they already waived Mitchell Stephens so I still fell strongly that one forward will god before the season starts and it sounds like it will be one of Hoffman or Armia. Hoffman has 2 years left at a cap hit of $4.5 Million and should be the more likely to go as he has put up 20 goals at a high pace before and in the right organization should be able to have 20 goals again and he is still a good middle six forward who could play on a team’s second power play unit and be a productive player from there and while his contract isn’t the best I think the Canadiens should be able to find a way to move him and if they can move him to a team who needs some more offense but has a defender preferably a right side one who is a bit cheaper then I think Montreal would be more then willing to do that as it would help them get a defender and move a forward but I still think Hoffman is the most likely to be moved. And for Armia he is cheaper at a $3.4 Million dollar cap hit but is signed for one more season at 3 years and isn’t as productive as Hoffman. Armia is a good bottom six forward who should be able to play on the 3rd line but his production the last few years hasn’t been all to good and while Armia is a good forward he just isn’t living up to that contract and I believe the Canadiens would only get a mid round pick in return so if there are too many teams worried of Hoffmann’s cap hit then maybe the Canadiens trade Armia instead but definitely watch the Canadiens as I still strongly believe they will move a forward before the season starts and it is quite likely it will end up being one of these two players.

Other teams besides Ottawa could have interest in Chychrun.
The Senators and Chychrun have continuously been connected this year as Chychrun is most likely going to be moved before the season starts and he seems like the best choice for Ottawa to upgrade their defence but there are apparently there are other teams in the mix and two teams that I would look out for would be Columbus and St.Louis. The Blues have tried to upgrade their defence over the offseason but were only able to bring back Nick Leddy which is a pretty good addition but not Chychrun level and with Scandella and Perunovich out for a few months that D-Corp looks bad right now so acquiring Chychrun may not be such a bad idea for them but I think it would take their 1st round pick to start, Scandella most likely to offset the cap hit and then maybe 2 prospects like Perunovich and Kostin as I don’t see St.Louis parting with Neighbours but the Yotes could definitely want a defensive prospect back so I think the Blues have the assets to pull of a Chychrun trade but would it be better then Ottawa I don’t really think so but they are a team to definitely watch in the Chychrun sweepstakes, and for Columbus they had interest in Chychrun early in the offseason and were willing to give up a 1RD pick but it didn’t sound like Chychrun wanted to go there but he may have changed his mind now and the Blue Jackets could definitely improve on the defensive side as they have got better this year but I think getting a good defensemen like Chychrun could really help this team excel this year like I anticipate them to. Now a package would have to include their 1RD pick for this year probably with some sort of protection probably top 10, and I think that Gavrikov would probably be moved to balance out the cap as I think that the Jackets could live without him and maybe two prospects like maybe Foudy who was a former first round pick who wasn’t gotten the opportunity he probably would’ve wanted and maybe Mateychuk who was the 12th overall pick this past year and I have a hard time seeing making the NHL in the next few seasons so I think this could be a package that could get it done but definitely watch this as the Chychrun rumours are picking up as we draw nearer to the start of the year and I expect a trade to materialize soon so definitely watch Chychrun ahe could find his way out of Arizona soon.
Joseph available in a trade.
Now on a podcast not to long ago Frank Serravelli sated that the Penguins have told all the other teams in the NHL that they are open to moving Pierre Oliver Joseph for the right price. Now the 23rd pick in the 2017 draft by Arizona who went to Pittsburgh in the Phil Kessel trade, Joseph has had a few good stints in the NHL and has a combined total of 20 games played in the NHL and has put up 5 points but I think that after playing 61 games in the AHL last year and being over 1/2 a point per game I think that he is absolutely poised to make the NHL this year but with a deep team and then him being waivers eligible this year it makes it really hard for Pittsburgh to just put him in the minors and it is really likely he gets traded. The Penguins have 8 defensemen who would have to go on waivers to be sent down and Smith who is not waivers eligible will probably make the team so the either have to risk losing a few players to waivers or they may have to move someone and Joseph will definitely garner interest. I still think that in a couple of years Joseph could be a top 4 defensemen but for now he would make any 3rd pair better and I think if the Penguins could get a young player who is waivers exempt and they could demote this year I think they would do that but definitely keep an eye out on the Penguins blueline and especially Joseph because if no team acquires him he may end up being placed on Waivers and could be acquired that way so definitely a interesting situation to watch.
Here all all of the non waiver cuts that have been made to each teams roster from the beginning of trading camp al the way up to October 4th.

There are mostly depth players on waivers today and not many that could make a NHL roster right now but if I had to take a gamble, three players I could see being claimed off of waivers would be Cholowski of the Isles, Brooks of the Flyers and Dzingel of the Canes as Cholowski could be a decent third pair defensemen for a team with injuries, while Brooks and Dzingel were waiver claims last year as well and are both players who one might see on a 4th line so I think there is a possibility they are claimed but i could even see Schneider getting claimed maybe as he could be a better backup for a team then their current goalies but while I think these guys could wind up being claimed tomorrow I would still predict that all go through unclaimed.

Now there have been a ton of noteworthy names that have cleared waivers over the past few days and here are a few I am stunned weren’t taken. So in Net some surprises I thought would’ve been taken would be Fucale, Domingue, Tokarski and Subban as I think Fucale was a good young player who could’ve gotten a opportunity somewhere and the other three have all spent time at the NHL level and would be good third string goalies for their teams but they could be better backups then the guys in Arizona and Philly so I am a bit shocked they didn’t get taken, on the backend 5 players I am surprised weren’t taken would be Beaudin, Juolevi, Lagesson, Bayruther and Carlsson. Beaudin and Juolevi are both former first round picks who I think could still be decent 3rd pair defensemen and I thought they could’ve been taken, while Lagesson, Carlsson and Bayreuther have all spent time on NHL rosters being spare players last year and with their experience I thought at least one team could take a chance on them as they could be valuable 7th defensemen, and on the forward group I think 5 players I am surprised weren’t taken would be Lind, Boulet, Stephens, Steen and Phillips. I expected Lind, Boulet and Steen to make their respective teams rosters and I am surprised they went on waivers period but I am also stunned that they didn’t get claimed as I think all could be decent bottom six forwards, Stephens is a good 4th line Center on a crowded forward group in Montreal so I am not surprised he went on waivers but I am surprised that he didn’t get claimed and Phillips is a good young player in Calgary and I thought he could’ve been picked up by a team to be a decent bottom six forward so I am a bit surprised that he was able to stay with the Flames but all in all some pretty good players who have been placed on waivers and as we get closer to the rosters being finalized the more significant the players on Waivers will become.
Here are two claims that have happened
Charles LeClaire USA Today Sports
Radim Zohorna LW,RW (1 year left $.750 Thousand dollars) was placed on Waivers by Pittsburgh and was claimed by Calgary. Zohorna has struggled to get a full time role with the Penguins as he had been a depth forward and the Penguins were always a deep team but now he gets to go to Calgary where he should be able to carve out a consistent 4th line role as a checker who could put up points and I think he will be a great bottom six forward for the Flames especially with their depth a little lacking right now.
Magnus Hellberg G (1 year left $.750 Thousand dollars) was placed on Waivers by Seattle and was claimed by Ottawa. Hellberg was brought in this offseason to be a AHL goalie for Seattle and come into the lineup if they ended up needing some more depth but he now goes to Ottawa where a hole has just opened up in Net with Talbot being injured and he should be able to at least fight if not get the backup role in Ottawa for the time being and for the first month of the season I could definitely see Hellberg be a okay backup in Ottawa.
Over the past few days there have been more PTO’s that have either been released or led to a contract and as we get closer to the season more and more PTO’s will start to resolve themselves.
Over the past four days there have been 8 more players who ended up being released from their PTO’s:
ANA: Dmitri Osipov LW (has since signed in the AHL)
COLU: James Neal LW,RW (now back to being a UFA)
COLU: Victor Rask C (now back to being a UFA)
LA: Nate Thompson C (now back to being a UFA
NJ: Zach Senyshyn RW (now back to being a UFA)
NJ: Thomas Hickey LD (now back to being a UFA)
OTT: Michael Dal Colle LW (now back to being a UFA)
VAN: Danny Dekeyser LD (now back to being a UFA
And another has impressed enough to earn a new contract and this PTO came from Seattle.
Winger Daniel Sprong played well enough in camp to earn a 1 year contract with the Seattle Kraken that will have a AAV of $.750 Thousand and the deal is two way. Sprong had a pretty productive year last season when he split time between Seattle and Washington last year and was able to get a good amount of goals playing in a bottom six role last year getting 14 goals and 20 points in 63 games with the two teams and I think that Sprong may start the year in the minors due to Seattle’s new depth but I also wouldn’t be shocked if he was able to find a way to play on the 4th line this year and be a pretty productive 4th line forward again this year.
Here is a list of all the NHL signings that have happened between SEPT 28th and SEPT 30th.
Metro
Atlantic
Florida
Left Winger Kai Schwindt who was a undrafted free agent has signed his 3 year entry level contract with the Florida Panthers and the contract will carry a AAV of $.836 Thousand dollars and the deal is two way. Schwindt had his first season in the OHL last year and did pretty well for a young player getting 17 points in 68 games played and he should go back and play there again this year and he is probably a few years away from making a run at the NHL but I could see him fight for a bottom six spot on the Panthers forward group in a few years.
Toronto
Left Defensemen Rasmus Sandin and the Toronto Maple Leafs have come to terms on a 2 year contract that will carry a AAV of $1.4 Million dollars and the deal is 1 way. Sandin and the Maple Leafs fought long and hard on agreeing to a contract because of money and Sandin’s position on the team but with injuries piling up on the backend for the Maple Leafs Sandin felt he would have the chance to come into the lineup and prove that he can have a big role and hold on to it with the team and while I am surprised he was willing to go under $1.5 Million I do think this is a good deal for both teams and Sandin should get a shot to prove he can be a good top 4 defensemen.
Pacific
Anaheim
Left Defensemen Tyson Hinds who was a 3RD pick in the 2021 draft by the Anaheim Ducks has signed his 3 year entry level contract with the Ducks and the deal will carry a AAV of $.848 Thousand dollars and it is two way. Hinds had a pretty productive year in the QMJHL last year putting up 35 points in 61 games which is pretty good for a defensemen and with the good talent on this blueline he is still a couple years away from taking a carrack at the NHL but I do think that in time he will grow into a good 3rd pair defensemen for the Ducks as another good prospect.
Vegas
Right Defensemen Joe Fleming who was a undrafted free has signed a 3 year entry level contract with the Vegas Golden Knights that will carry a AAV of $.859 Thousand dollars and the deal is two way. Fleming played in the USHL last year and had a pretty good season putting up 16 points in 61 games but now that he is finished in college he will go to play in the QMJHL this year and I think he still needs a couple years at least before he can challenge for a roster spot but I do think he could eventually be a good 3rd pair defensemen for the Golden Knights.
