Brind'Amour didn't receive a qualifying offer from Carolina on Monday, which means he will become an unrestricted free agent.
Brind'Amour notched 16 goals and 34 points in 68 regular-season outings with AHL Chicago in 2025-26 before adding two goals and four points in 21 appearances during the Calder Cup Playoffs. He didn't have a point in four NHL games with Carolina during the 2025-26 regular season.
