Scott Darling: Joins minor-league club
Scott Darling signed a professional tryout agreement with AHL Chicago on Monday, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.Darling last appeared in an NHL game back in 2018-19, posting a 2-4-2 record and .884 save percentage in eight games with Carolina. The veteran netminder spent the previous campaign overseas. At this point, the best Darling could likely hope for would be to parlay the PTO with the Wolves into a two-way NHL deal down the road.

Scott Darling: Released from PTO
Scott Darling has been released from his professional tryout with the Panthers.The Panthers have pretty good depth at goaltender, so it was always going to be an uphill battle for Darling to secure a deal with the club. The 32-year-old backstop will likely look for a two-way deal elsewhere, and if he's unable to find one, he may opt to head overseas to continue his playing career.

Panthers' Scott Darling: Lands PTO with Florida
Scott Darling signed a professional tryout agreement with the Florida Panthers on Sunday, George Richards of Panthers Press Box reports.After posting a .887 save percentage and 3.20 GAA in 51 appearances with Carolina from 2017-2019, Darling spent last season with Innsbruck HC in Austria. He struggled there as well, recording a .898 save percentage and 3.34 GAA. It's hard to picture the 32-year-old knocking off Chris Driedger to secure the backup job behind Sergei Bobrovsky.

Scott Darling: Becomes UFA after buyout
Scott Darling was bought out by the Panthers on Monday.The Panthers acquired Darling and a 2020 sixth-round draft pick from the Hurricanes in exchange for goaltender James Reimer on Sunday, but neither team had any interest in retaining him. Still, purchasing the final two years of Darling's contract will cost Carolina $1.83 million over the next four years. It's been a major fall from grace for the ex-Blackhawk, as he failed to hold down a No. 1 goalie job in Raleigh following a 2016-17 campaign in which he posted an 18-5-5 record, 2.38 GAA and .924 save percentage in the Windy City.

Panthers' Scott Darling: Swapped to Sunshine State
Scott Darling was traded to the Florida Panthers with a 2020 sixth-round pick in exchange for James Reimer on Sunday, Bob McKenzie of TSN reports.Darling was already looking at a potential buyout negotiation with the Hurricanes, and is expected to face the same process with the Panthers. This past season, the 30-year-old netminder was demoted to the minors before ultimately deciding to step away from the game entirely in an attempt to regroup mentally. Pending buyout negotiations with Darling, the Panthers will be without a netminder on the NHL roster after Roberto Luongo chose to retire this offseason.

Hurricanes' Scott Darling: Time with Canes all but over
Scott Darling will be bought out by Carolina once the league's buyout period arrives, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reports.Darling is reportedly aware of his team's intentions, and it should come as no surprise considering how poorly he's played since signing with Carolina back in May 2017. This past season, the 30-year-old netminder was demoted to the minors before ultimately deciding to step away from the game entirely in an attempt to regroup mentally. While it would appear likely that another team will give Darling a chance to earn a roster spot in training camp next season, teams will certainly want assurances from him that his head is in the right place before they commit any money or term to him.

Hurricanes' Scott Darling: Takes leave of absence
Scott Darling (personal) will step away from AHL Charlotte indefinitely, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.Darling has been in the minors since mid-December and it's certainly been a struggle. He's posted an .882 save percentage and 3.40 GAA alongside a 5-6-0 record. GM Don Waddell said that the 30-year-old would take some time off to mentally regroup. This should benefit him quite a bit and here's hoping he'll return mentally healthier.

Hurricanes' Scott Darling: Struggles continue in minors
Scott Darling stopped just 22 of 28 shots in a 6-1 loss to the Bridgeport Sound Tigers on Friday.This has truly been a forgettable season for the Carolina Hurricanes' former starting netminder. After clearing waivers and winding up at AHL Charlotte at the end of November, Darling was recalled for one game -- in which he allowed five goals in a 6-5 overtime loss to the Capitals on Dec. 14 -- and was promptly sent back down. Unfortunately, he has been no better with the Checkers, posting a 2-2-0 record, 3.42 GAA and .872 save percentage in his last five games. Looking ahead, unless there is an injury to either Petr Mrazek or Curtis McElhinney, it is highly unlikely you will see Darling back in the NHL anytime soon.
