He logged just one appearance with ECHL South Carolina after the trade.

Carriere will be eligible for unrestricted free agency Wednesday after the Sharks didn't present him with a qualifying offer Monday.

Carriere spent the bulk of the 2025-26 regular season with AHL San Jose in 2025-26. He posted a 15-12-3 record with a 2.76 GAA and an .896 save percentage in 31 appearances with the Sharks' top minor-league affiliate.

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

Kraws was recalled on an emergency basis ahead of postseason play last year, but he didn't make his NHL debut. He spent most of his time with ECHL Idaho, where he went 16-12-2 with a 3.03 GAA and .908 save percentage across 31 regular-season appearances. He'll attempt to seek out other opportunities during the offseason.

Hlavaj won't receive a qualifying offer from Minnesota on Monday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

As a result, Hlavaj will be eligible for unrestricted free agency Wednesday. He spent most of the 2025-26 campaign with AHL Iowa, where he posted a 7-11-4 record with a 3.28 GAA and an .887 save percentage across 22 appearances.

Miftakhov didn't receive a qualifying offer from Carolina and will become an unrestricted free agent Wednesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Miftakhov hasn't yet made his NHL debut, but he was a decent contributor during his first year with AHL Chicago in 2025-26, going 12-8-7 with a 3.25 GAA and .888 save percentage. He'll be able to seek out other opportunities ahead of the 2026-27 campaign but will likely need to settle for a minor-league role once again.

Lindbom inked a three-year, $2.7 million contract extension with the Golden Knights on Sunday.

Lindbom went 2-4-2 with a 2.99 GAA and an .873 save percentage over eight regular-season appearances with Vegas in 2025-26. While he did not fare too well with the big club, the Swedish netminder was superb with AHL Henderson, posting a 24-5-5 record, .926 save percentage and 2.16 GAA across 35 regular-season games. Since Carter Hart and Adin Hill are both under contract for the 2026-27 campaign, Lindbom will likely spend the bulk of his time in the minors again.
