Tomasino will be an unrestricted free agent after the Flyers chose not to give him a qualifying offer Monday, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

Tomasino accounted for 12 goals and 41 points in 52 AHL regular-season games between Lehigh Valley and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2025-26. He also had one assist in nine NHL outings with Pittsburgh during the 2025-26 regular season.

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.

Drury signed a five-year, $22.5 million contract with Nashville on Sunday, PuckPedia reports.

Drury generated 10 goals, 27 points, 99 shots on net, 56 blocked shots and 46 hits in 82 regular-season games for Colorado in 2025-26. The Predators acquired Drury, Chase Bradley and a 2029 third-round pick from the Avalanche on Wednesday in exchange for Fedor Svechkov and Zachary L'Heureux.

Ivan was acquired by Boston from Colorado on Saturday in exchange for Fabian Lysell.

Ivan had an assist in nine regular-season appearances with the Avalanche in 2025-26. While he didn't play much at the top level in 2025-26, he got plenty of work with AHL Colorado, recording 11 goals, 26 points and 40 PIM in 66 regular-season games before contributing three goals and 15 points in 17 playoff appearances. The 23-year-old is likely to start the upcoming campaign in the minors.

Ostapchuk signed a four-year, $9.4 million contract with San Jose on Saturday.

Ostapchuk set career bests with four goals and seven points in 59 games during the 2025-26 campaign. He also delivered a 51.6 faceoff win percentage. Ostapchuk is best known for his grit, recording 140 hits and averaging 2.92 blocked shots per 60 minutes. He will continue to provide the Sharks with a bottom-six edge in 2026-27.

The Rangers acquired Rizzo and the No. 148 pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft from Nashville on Saturday in exchange for Adam Edstrom.

Rizzo has been traded three times in a span of three-and-a-half months. He went from Philadelphia to Boston on March 6 and was then moved to Nashville six days later. Rizzo appeared in 14 AHL games between Providence and Milwaukee last regular season, supplying two goals and three assists. He also recorded 22 points (six goals, 16 assists) in 29 games for ECHL Reading in the 2025-26 regular season. He's a depth move for the Rangers' system.

Edstrom has been traded from the Rangers to Nashville on Saturday in exchange for Massimo Rizzo and the No. 148 pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft.

Edstrom is a 6-foot-7, 232-pound behemoth who appeared in 35 games for the Rangers last season. He had three goals, five points, 31 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and 65 hits in 2025-26 while averaging just 9:28 of ice time per contest. He will compete for a fourth-line role with Nashville in the 2026-27 campaign.

Jarvis underwent shoulder surgery and will be out 4-6 months, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports Friday.

Even on the short end of the recovery timeline, Jarvis would miss about a month of the regular season. The 24-year-old could be out until the middle of 2026-27 in a worst-case scenario. He had 32 goals, 34 assists and 224 shots on net over 71 regular-season outings last year but was limited to 11 points in 19 playoff contests for the eventual champions. Jarvis' absence could open the door for Jackson Blake to see a more significant role early in the year, and the Hurricanes will likely need to lean on a prospect or two to fill out the roster depending on how they fill out the team in free agency.

McTavish was traded to the Blues from Anaheim on Friday in exchange for the No. 15 and No. 29 overall picks in the 2026 NHL Draft, per Pierre LeBrun of TSN.

McTavish had been rumored to be on the move for a few days, and we now know his destination. The No. 3 overall pick from 2021 never truly found his footing over the course of parts of five years with the Ducks, although he has posted 40-plus points in each of the past four seasons, so there may still be some meat on the bone. McTavish is a candidate for an enhanced role with his new club, though the offensive environment in St. Louis is not quite as strong as Anaheim these days. It projects as a lateral move for the 23-year-old from a fantasy perspective.

Reinhart (foot) is expected to be fine for the start of training camp, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports Friday.

Reinhart has already resumed skating and plans to ramp up in August. The 30-year-old had 29 goals and 61 points in 64 appearances with Florida in 2025-26. He missed the Panthers' final 17 games of the season because of the injury.
