Forsling (undisclosed) has been participating in informal skates ahead of training camp, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports Tuesday.

Forsling had two goals, 28 points, 112 shots on net, 98 blocked shots and 52 hits in 80 appearances during the 2025-26 regular season. He sat out Florida's final game of the campaign, but he should be fine for the beginning of camp.

Zub (lower body) is continuing to rehab from injury, but he expects to be ready for the Senators' training camp, per Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia.

Zub suffered the lower-body injury during Ottawa's first-round playoff series. Before getting hurt, he recorded 25 assists, 30 points, 92 shots on net, 66 hits and 120 blocked shots across 81 regular-season games. His current injury is something to monitor ahead of the 2026-27 campaign, but it sounds as if he will be ready to go for Opening Night, barring any setbacks. Provided he's healthy, Zub should provide fantasy managers with solid category coverage this season.

Joseph signed a one-year, $850,000 contract with Carolina on Tuesday.

Joseph accounted for one goal, five assists, 22 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and 18 hits in 31 appearances with Vancouver in the 2025-26 regular season. He will compete for a depth role with Carolina during training camp ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.

Edvinsson, a restricted free agent, intends to participate in training camp even if he remains unsigned, according to Pierre LeBrun of TSN on Tuesday.

Edvinsson registered 19 goals and 60 points across 175 regular-season outings during his entry-level contract. The 23-year-old defender had nine goals, 25 points, 88 shots on net, 94 hits and 148 blocked shots over 72 appearances in the 2025-26 regular season.

Tanev (abdomen) is hopeful that he will be ready for the start of training camp, per Dave Feschuk of the Toronto Star on Friday.

Tanev appeared in only 11 games during the 2025-26 regular season due to spinal, groin and core muscle injuries. "I mean, I'm feeling good. We still have to talk to the doctors, I think, in a week or two," said the 36-year-old blueliner. "But the plan is, hopefully, I'm ready to rumble once everything gets going." Assuming he is good to go for Opening Night on Sept. 29 against Montreal, Tanev will likely occupy a top-four role and see time on the penalty kill. His defense-first style doesn't make him an attractive fantasy option, but he can rack up blocked shots.

Buium agreed to an eight-year, $75.04 million contract extension with the Canucks on Friday.

Buium was a first-round pick by the Wild in 2024, and he appeared in 31 regular-season matchups with Minnesota last year before being traded to the Canucks in mid-December. Across 76 regular-season appearances between the two clubs last year, the 20-year-old racked up six goals, 20 assists, 55 blocked shots, 41 PIM and 28 hits while averaging 19:35 of ice time, and he'll be rewarded with a long-term contract extension before the 2026-27 campaign.

Bogosian (lower body) is slated to be available for the start of training camp, per Michael Russo of The Athletic on Friday.

Bogosian had two goals, six points, 18 PIM, 47 hits and 37 blocks in 41 regular-season appearances with Minnesota in 2025-26. The 36-year-old logged just 14:33 of ice time per game last year, which was his lowest average for a regular season since the start of his NHL career. Bogosian will likely enter the 2026-27 campaign as part of the third pairing, but he might end up occasionally serving as a healthy scratch.

Brodin (lower body) has been skating and is expected to be fine for training camp, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Friday.

Brodin missed Minnesota's final six playoff games due to the injury. He had four goals, 18 points, a plus-19 rating, 16 PIM, 10 hits and 126 blocks in 62 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. The 33-year-old should enter the upcoming campaign with a top-four role, but he hasn't logged more than 62 games in a single regular season over the past four years, so don't be surprised if he ends up spending part of 2026-27 on the shelf.

Metsa signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with the Sabres on Friday.

Metsa is set to play out the second season of his two-year, $1.63 million contract in 2026-27, but before he signed this extension, he was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent next summer. The 27-year-old had two goals, six points, a plus-16 rating, eight PIM, five hits and 31 blocks in 43 regular-season outings in 2025-26. Metsa is likely to make Buffalo's Opening Night roster, but he might not be in the lineup regularly.

Murchison (upper body) is listed on the Flyers' rookie camp roster ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.

Murchison missed the end of the 2025-26 season due to an upper-body injury that required surgery, but he appears to be back to full health ahead of training camp. Across 29 regular-season appearances with AHL Lehigh Valley last year, he recorded two goals, four assists, 46 PIM and a plus-12 rating.
