McCann (lower body) skated away from the main group Sunday and should be ready for the start of the regular season, Sound of Hockey reports.

While McCann may sit out the remainder of the exhibition schedule, he is trending toward playing against Anaheim on Oct. 9. He compiled 22 goals, 61 points and 202 shots on net across 82 games during the 2024-25 regular season. Once healthy, McCann will probably occupy a top-six role and see power-play time.

Foudy was released from his professional tryout by the Wild, the team announced Sunday.

Foudy will report to AHL Iowa's training camp for a chance to earn a job with that squad. Last year in the Avalanche's organization, the 23-year-old spent the entirety of the campaign with AHL Colorado, notching 19 points in 48 regular-season games.

Schmelzer was moved to waivers Sunday, per PuckPedia.

Schmelzer compiled 23 goals and 44 points in 72 regular-season games for AHL Utica in 2024-25. The 32-year-old forward hasn't had any NHL experience yet, and he will likely begin the 2025-26 campaign in the minors.

Toninato was placed on waivers by the Blackhawks on Sunday, according to PuckPedia.

Toninato will likely begin the upcoming season with AHL Rockford, assuming he clears waivers. The 31-year-old is in the first year of a two-year, two-way contract with the Blackhawks after spending the last five seasons with the Jets' organization. He had an AHL career-high 36 points in 60 games last season with Manitoba.

Keskinen was loaned to Tappara of Finland's Liiga on Sunday.

Keskinen notched 15 goals and 35 points in 59 games with Tappara during the 2024-25 regular season. The Blue Jackets selected the 20-year-old defender with the No. 194 pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft.

Leschyshyn was placed on waivers by the Sabres on Sunday, according to PuckPedia.

Leschyshyn wasn't tendered a qualifying offer by the Rangers and found a new home with the Sabres over the summer. The 26-year-old will likely begin this season with AHL Rochester following this move. With AHL Hartford, he had 24 points in 69 games but held a minus-35 rating.

Gaunce was placed on waivers by the Blue Jackets for the purpose of assignment to AHL Cleveland, the team announced Sunday.

Gaunce was acquired by the Blue Jackets in an offseason minor-league trade with the Wild. He registered one assist in 12 outings with Minnesota during the 2024-25 regular season. He also had 15 goals and 29 points across 39 regular-season outings with AHL Iowa.

Farrell has been placed on waivers by the Canadiens for the purpose of assigning him to AHL Laval, the team announced Sunday.

Farrell has yet to play a game in the NHL since a six-game stint in 2022-23 following the conclusion of his sophomore season at Harvard University. That will continue into at least the start of this campaign with his assignment to the minors. The 23-year-old had a good year with Laval in 2024-25, supplying 20 goals and 24 assists in 67 regular-season appearances.

Condotta has been placed on waivers by the Canadiens for the purpose of assignment to AHL Laval, the team announced Sunday.

Condotta was one of many cuts that Montreal made to the training camp roster Sunday. The 27-year-old played seven regular-season games last season with the big club, scoring once, but he spent the rest of the campaign with Laval, recording five goals and 31 points across 63 regular-season outings. Although he's slated to start the season in the AHL, Condotta should be one of Montreal's top call-up options this year.

Mysak was placed on waivers by the Ducks with the intent to assign him to AHL San Diego, the team announced Sunday.

Mysak had 18 goals and 42 points across 68 regular-season appearances with San Diego last year. The 23-year-old had an assist in two preseason appearances, but he's still seeking his NHL regular-season debut.
