NHL Player News

Brisson was not tendered a qualifying offer from the Rangers on Monday, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

Brisson spent the bulk of his time with AHL Hartford in 2025-26, generating 19 goals and 37 points across 66 outings. The 2020 first-round selection (No. 29 overall) also contributed one assist over three games with the Rangers last season. Considering that Brisson was a relatively high draft pick, he should have no problem finding a new team to sign with July 1, even if it's a two-way deal.

Mysak didn't receive a qualifying offer from the Ducks, and he'll become an unrestricted free agent Wednesday.

Mysak signed a contract with HV71 of the SHL on June 16. He spent the past four seasons in the AHL, most recently recording 10 goals, 13 assists and 31 PIM across 56 regular-season appearances with San Diego in 2025-26. By not extending a qualifying offer, the Ducks relinquished any signing rights to Mysak should he come back to North America in the future.

Thiesing did not get a qualifying offer from the Islanders on Monday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Thiesing notched nine goals, 17 points and a plus-4 rating across 63 regular-season games with AHL Bridgeport in 2025-26. Thiesing, who has never made his NHL debut, will now seek out a new opportunity when free agency opens Wednesday.

Beecher didn't receive a qualifying offer from Calgary on Monday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Beecher will be eligible for unrestricted free agency Wednesday. He registered three goals, seven points, 37 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and 23 hits across 35 regular-season appearances between Calgary and Boston in 2025-26.

Wheatcroft didn't receive a qualifying offer from the Stars, and he'll become an unrestricted free agent Wednesday.

Wheatcroft has spent the past three seasons with AHL Texas, and he logged 10 goals, 17 assists and 30 PIM in 75 regular-season appearances across the past two campaigns. He'll attempt to seek out other opportunities on the open market during the offseason.

Cotter didn't get a qualifying offer from New Jersey on Monday.

Cotter will be eligible for unrestricted free agency Wednesday. He had nine goals, 15 points, 61 shots on net and 192 hits across 79 regular-season appearances for the Devils in 2025-26.

Kurashev will be an unrestricted free agent Wednesday after San Jose didn't issue him a qualifying offer Monday.

Kurashev chipped in seven goals, 20 points, 62 shots on net and 40 hits across 43 appearances with the Sharks during the 2025-26 regular season. He was a healthy scratch frequently down the stretch, and he will get a chance at a fresh start somewhere else in the 2026-27 campaign.

Anderson-Dolan didn't receive a qualifying offer from Winnipeg on Monday.

Anderson-Dolan seemed like a player on the rise when he played in 46 regular-season games for the Kings back in 2022-23, but he has seen his opportunities dwindle ever since, with his last NHL appearance coming back in 2024-25. Still, the 26-year-old center racked up 13 goals and 23 assists in 72 regular-season games for AHL Manitoba in 2025-26. That may be enough production to convince another NHL club to give him a shot.

Pittsburgh acquired Gustafsson from Winnipeg on Monday in exchange for Jack St. Ivany.

During the 2025-26 campaign with AHL Manitoba, Gustafsson earned 10 goals and 32 points in 48 regular-season games before providing one goal and three helpers in seven playoff outings. The 26-year-old forward has six goals and 20 points in 149 NHL regular-season appearances. Gustafsson is a restricted free agent this offseason, and he is eligible to file for arbitration.

Gatcomb is not expected to receive a qualifying offer from the Islanders on Monday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Gatcomb featured in 49 regular-season games for the Isles this season, registering three goals, four assists and 192 hits. It's possible the team circles back once free agency opens July 1, especially given his physicality. The 26-year-old center doesn't offer enough offensive upside in most formats to justify taking him in fantasy drafts, even with his help in the hits category.
