NHL Player News

Gambrell signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Wild on Wednesday.

Gambrell had 10 goals and 36 points in 35 outings with AHL Iowa in 2025-26. The 29-year-old is unlikely to make Minnesota's Opening Night roster, but he'll get a chance to compete for a spot during training camp.

Tralmaks signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Oilers on Wednesday.

Tralmaks hasn't made his NHL debut yet, but he was productive with AHL Grand Rapids in 2025-26. He recorded 26 goals, 16 assists and 14 PIM across 64 regular-season appearances with Detroit's top minor-league affiliate. It wouldn't be surprising to see him spend the bulk of his time in the minors next campaign.

Brossoit signed a one-year, $1.1 million contract with the Ducks on Wednesday.

Brossoit had a 15-11-1 record, 3.06 GAA and .901 save percentage in 28 regular-season outings between AHL San Jose and Rockford in 2025-26. The 33-year-old is a veteran of 141 career regular-season NHL games, so he's a viable option for Anaheim to play if Lukas Dostal or Ville Husso suffers an injury. However, Brossoit will probably begin 2026-27 in the minors.

Shea signed a five-year, $20 million contract with the Oilers on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Shea had a career-best regular season with the Penguins in 2025-26, recording six goals, 29 assists, 92 blocked shots, 38 hits and 22 PIM while averaging 18:53 of ice time. The 29-year-old should occupy a third-pairing role and see time on the penalty kill in the 2026-27 campaign for the Oilers.

Fensore signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Avalanche on Wednesday.

Fensore had 10 goals, 35 points and 37 PIM in 60 regular-season appearances with AHL Chicago in 2025-26. The 24-year-old has also logged three career regular-season NHL games, recording no points, two PIM, four hits and six blocked shots. Fensore doesn't appear to have a path to an Opening Night roster spot with the Avalanche, so he'll likely head to the minors after participating in training camp.

Hinostroza signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Avalanche on Wednesday.

Hinostroza had six goals, 18 points, 31 PIM, 41 hits and 27 blocked shots in 65 regular-season appearances between Minnesota and Florida in 2025-26. The 32-year-old is a capable fourth-line option, but Colorado is deep enough for Hinostroza to spend most of his time as a healthy scratch when the full forward corps is available.

Bogosian (lower body) signed a one-year, $1.25 million contract with the Wild on Wednesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Across 41 regular-season appearances with Minnesota in 2025-26, Bogosian recorded two goals, four assists, 47 hits, 37 blocked shots and 18 PIM while averaging 14:33 of ice time. He dealt with a lower-body injury late in the regular season and during the playoffs, and it's not yet clear whether the issue will impact his availability for training camp in the fall.

Bryson signed a one-year, $850,000 contract with the Red Wings on Wednesday.

Bryson had two goals, eight points, 10 PIM, 14 hits and 29 blocks in 50 regular-season appearances between Buffalo and Winnipeg in 2025-26. Bryson is likely to spend a fair amount of 2026-27 as a healthy scratch, but he should also have games where he's plugged into a third-pairing spot.

Foligno signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with the Wild on Wednesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Foligno had four goals, 15 points, 44 PIM, 129 hits and 33 blocks in 54 regular-season appearances between Chicago and Minnesota in 2025-26. The 38-year-old will probably open 2026-27 on the Wild's fourth line, but he's capable of shifting to a middle-six role if injuries warrant the change.

Skoog signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Red Wings on Wednesday.

Skoog had two assists, a plus-3 rating, four PIM, two hits and five blocks in three regular-season appearances with Florida in 2025-26. He also had 18 goals, 37 points and 51 PIM in 61 regular-season outings with AHL Charlotte last campaign. The 26-year-old will compete for a bottom-six spot with Detroit during training camp, but he'll probably begin 2026-27 in the AHL.
