NHL Player News

Acciari signed a two-year, $5.6 million contract with the Flyers on Wednesday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Acciari had 13 goals, 25 points, 25 PIM, 65 hits and 62 blocks in 67 regular-season appearances with Pittsburgh in 2025-26. The 34-year-old is likely to serve primarily in a bottom-six capacity with the Flyers. It wouldn't be surprising if he also saw his offense dip a bit from his 2025-26 totals -- that was just the third time he's reached the 20-point mark across his past nine NHL regular seasons.

Roslovic signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the Maple Leafs on Wednesday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

Roslovic will join his fifth team in the last four seasons, though he received a multi-year deal from his new club ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. Across 69 regular-season appearances with the Oilers last year, he recorded 21 goals, 15 assists, 46 hits, 27 blocked shots and 16 PIM while averaging 15:46 of ice time. He's racked up at least 30 points in six consecutive seasons, and he should have a chance to carve out a decent role with his new team.

Luostarinen is signing an eight-year, $40 million contract extension with the Panthers on Wednesday, David Dwork of The Hockey News reports.

Luostarinen appeared in 73 regular-season games during the 2025-26 campaign -- his lowest mark since the 2020-21 season -- but remained productive, logging 11 goals, 22 assists, 121 hits, 57 blocked shots and 32 PIM while averaging 16:34 of ice time. After spending the last six seasons with Florida, he'll remain under contract with the team on a long-term deal.

Hischier is slated to sign a five-year, $58.5 million contract extension with the Devils on Wednesday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.

Hischier has one more year remaining on his current contract, so his extension will kick in for the 2027-28 campaign. The 27-year-old has racked up at least 60 points for New Jersey in five consecutive seasons, most recently recording 28 goals, 38 assists, 62 blocked shots, 58 hits and 29 PIM while averaging 20:43 of ice time across 82 regular-season appearances in 2025-26.

Bourque and Ilya Lyubushkin were traded to the Predators from the Stars on Wednesday in exchange for a 2027 second-round pick and a 2028 third-round pick, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.

After making 73 regular-season appearances for Dallas in 2024-25, Bourque appeared in every regular-season game for the Stars last year, racking up 20 goals, 21 assists, 78 hits, 22 PIM and 21 blocked shots while averaging 15:29 of ice time. He carved out some time on the power play with the Stars and will attempt to continue his development with a change of scenery ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.

Cousins signed a two-year, $3.175 million contract with the Senators on Tuesday, per PuckPedia.

Cousins will continue to bring the physicality and agitation in a bottom-six role. The 32-year-old had 23 points, 92 PIM and 169 hits over 81 regular-season outings in 2025-26. He also shot 11.4 percent, the second-highest mark of his career, so he may experience some regression in 2026-27.

The Blues did not extend a qualifying offer to Bordeleau on Monday, per PuckPedia.

Bordeleau will now be an unrestricted free agent. The 24-year-old suited up in a total of 60 regular-season games between AHL Utica and Springfield in 2025-26, compiling nine goals, 12 helpers and a minus-20 rating. Bordeleau has 44 games of NHL experience, all with the Sharks.

The Panthers did not present a qualifying offer to Skoog on Monday, per Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald.

Skoog is now set to test the free-agent market Wednesday. The Swedish forward made his NHL debut with Florida this past season, picking up two helpers over three games. Skoog also had 18 goals, 37 points and a plus-12 rating across 61 regular-season games with AHL Charlotte in 2025-26. Those are relatively solid numbers for a player who was never drafted by an NHL team, so Skoog should be able to secure at least a two-way contract when free agency kicks off Wednesday.

Ivan signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Bruins on Monday.

It did not take long for Ivan to come to terms on a contract agreement with his new club, as the forward was brought in from Colorado in exchange for Fabian Lysell on Saturday. Ivan will be a solid organizational depth piece for Boston, but he could see time with the Bruins if injuries arise or if he forces the team's hand with strong play in the minors.

The Rangers chose not to extend a qualifying offer to Rizzo on Monday, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

Rizzo played in both the AHL and ECHL in 2025-26. The seventh-round pick by Carolina in 2020 has never appeared in an NHL game, so if he signs with a new organization when free agency opens, Rizzo will almost certainly have to settle for a two-way deal.
