Crosby signed a two-year, $17.4 million contract extension with Pittsburgh on Monday.

Crosby is heading into the final season of the 12-year, $104.4 million deal that he signed back in June 2012, and his extension will keep him around in Pittsburgh for two additional seasons. The 37-year-old was thought to be in pursuit of a pay raise for his next deal, but his extension will contain the same $8.7 million annual average value as his previous 12-year contract, allowing the notoriously superstitious Crosby to continue matching his cap hit with his iconic No. 87 for two more years. After reaching the 90-point threshold both of the past two seasons, Crosby's deal represents a significant discount that should provide the Penguins with plenty of cap flexibility into the future.

Minten sustained a leg injury in Toronto's prospects game versus Montreal on Sunday, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports.

Minten was shaken up and ultimately had to exit the contest after taking a hit from Montreal's David Reinbacher. Minten will be evaluated when he returns to Toronto, and the team is hopeful that he will be ready for training camp. The 20-year-old center is battling for a roster spot on the Maple Leafs after appearing in four regular-season outings with the big club in 2023-24. An update on Minten's status should become available before Toronto's Sept. 22 preseason opener against Ottawa.

Namestnikov (face) participated in Tuesday's informal skate with his Winnipeg teammates, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Namestnikov should be available for training camp after missing Game 5 of the Jets' first-round playoff series against Colorado due to a fractured cheekbone. He accounted for 11 goals, 37 points and 92 hits across 78 regular-season contests in 2023-24 before adding one goal in four playoff outings. Entering the upcoming campaign, Namestnikov could occupy a top-six role and see time on the second power-play unit.

Dach (knee) was on the ice for Monday's informal skate ahead of the start of training camp.

Dach missed nearly the entire 2023-24 campaign due to his knee injury, having logged just two games with the club last year in which he generated two assists, three shots on goal and three hits. Heading into the upcoming campaign, the 23-year-old center should be expected to take the next step in his development and build upon his 2022-23 season after putting up 14 goals and 24 assists during that campaign. Set for a top-six role, Dach should benefit by playing with offseason acquisition Patrik Laine.

Parssinen agreed to terms on a one-year $775,000 contract with Nashville on Monday.

Parssinen's deal is a one-way contract, which doesn't guarantee he'll start the season in the NHL but certainly makes it harder to ship him down to the minors. After suiting up in 45 regular-season contests with the Predators last year, in which he generated eight goals and four assists, the 23-year-old winger looks poised to be a full-time contributor with Nashville. While Parssinen will likely slot into a bottom-six role at the onset, an injury or two could open the door for more minutes and an increased role at even strength and on the power play later in the campaign.

Sundqvist (knee) has resumed skating, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports Wednesday.

Sundqvist suffered a torn ACL on March 25 and was initially projected to be reevaluated in six months. Seeing him back on the ice ahead of training camp is encouraging, but it remains to be seen if the 30-year-old forward will be ready for the regular season. He had six goals and 21 points in 71 contests last season.

Pezzetta (upper body) is expected to be fully fit ahead of training camp, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports Monday.

Pezzetta suited up in 61 games for the Canadiens last season in which he tallied three goals and nine helpers while dishing out 242 hits and 29 blocked shots. Despite not playing in a full 82 games, the gritty center still finished in the top 10 in the NHL in hits. Given his limited offensive upside, Pezzetta won't be much of a target in most fantasy formats but could certainly offer some value in banger formats.

Berggren signed a one-year, $825,000 contract with Detroit on Monday.

Berggren produced two goals and four assists in 12 regular-season outings with Detroit in 2023-24. He also had 24 goals and 56 points in 53 contests for AHL Grand Rapids last campaign before adding five tallies and five helpers in nine playoff games. The 24-year-old forward will compete for a bottom-six role with the Red Wings during training camp, and he could see power-play time if he manages to secure a spot for Opening Night.

Labanc (undisclosed) signed a professional tryout agreement with New Jersey on Monday.

Labanc accounted for two goals, seven assists, 60 shots on net and 61 hits across 46 regular-season appearances with San Jose in 2023-24. He was a healthy scratch frequently last campaign and missed a couple of games down the stretch due to injury, but he will compete for a bottom-six spot in the lineup during New Jersey's training camp.

Van Riemsdyk signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with Columbus on Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Van Riemsdyk collected 11 goals, 38 points and 142 shots on net in 71 regular-season outings with Boston in 2023-24. The 35-year-old forward could occupy a middle-six role and see time on the power play for the Blue Jackets during the 2024-25 campaign.

Danforth won't be ready for the start of training camp after undergoing offseason wrist surgery, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports Saturday.

Danforth has a doctor's appointment scheduled for Monday, which could provide a timeline for his recovery. He produced 10 goals, 26 points, 86 shots on net and 109 hits across 71 regular-season contests in 2023-24.

Kane (hip/sports hernia) will undergo surgery within the next 10 days, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports Friday

Kane's recovery timeline won't be known until after the surgery, but it's safe to assume the operation will cost him part of the regular season. If he is unavailable for the first month, the 33-year-old winger will be a candidate for long-term injured reserve. Vasily Podkolzin could get a chance at being a regular in the Oilers' lineup while Kane is out.

Welinski agreed to a professional tryout agreement with New Jersey on Monday.

Weliniski contributed three goals and 10 points in 35 AHL regular-season outings between Iowa and Charlotte in 2023-24. The 31-year-old blueliner has one goal and five helpers in 46 career NHL appearances. He likely won't crack New Jersey's roster out of training camp but could earn a two-way deal if he impresses during the preseason.

Soderstrom signed a two-year contract with Brynas IF of the SHL on Sunday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

Since being selected with the No. 11 pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft by Arizona, Soderstrom has one goal and 10 assists in 53 career NHL appearances. The 23-year-old blueliner notched nine goals and 32 points in 62 regular-season contests with AHL Tucson in 2023-24. Utah HC retained Soderstrom's NHL rights in June by giving him a qualifying offer, which could lead to his return to North America in the future.

Mukhamadullin is dealing with general soreness and won't play in any rookie games for the Sharks, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports Friday.

Mukhamadullin is expected to be good to go for main camp, which suggests the issue is indeed a minor one. The 22-year-old blueliner will be competing for a depth role with the Sharks, though it's likely he'll see some time with AHL San Jose in 2024-25.

McWard won't play in rookie games for the Canucks while recovering from a minor injury, Ben Kuzma of The Vancouver Province reports.

McWard's injury was described as a nagging issue from last season. The defenseman had 17 points in 57 games with AHL Abbotsford in his first full professional season. He's got six NHL games to his name, but there's no guarantee he'll begin 2024-25 with the big club, especially if his injury costs him preseason action.

Hughes is expected to miss 6-8 weeks after suffering a left shoulder injury but will not require surgery, the club announced Thursday.

Even on the short end of his injury timeline, Hughes figures to miss the opening 10 games of the season at a minimum, making him a strong candidate to start the campaign on long-term injured reserve. The 21-year-old blueliner avoided injury as a rookie last year, featuring in all 82 regular-season contests in which he tallied nine goals and 38 helpers, including 25 power-play points. With Hughes out of action for the start of the season, Dougie Hamilton will almost certainly move up to the No. 1 power-play unit while Jakub Zboril, who comes into camp on a PTO, could earn his way into a full-time deal.

Lindstrom penned a professional tryout agreement with Anaheim on Thursday, Keith Allen of Detroit Hockey Now reports.

Lindstrom was not qualified by the Ducks in June and comes back on a tryout basis. Lindstrom had three goals and 10 points in 46 regular-season games last season, split between Anaheim and Montreal. He will battle for the seventh spot on the blue line in training camp.

Sorokin had surgery to address a back injury this offseason but is not expected to miss any regular-season action, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports Monday.

Sorokin may not feature much, if at all, during the preseason as a result of his back surgery but all signs point to him being on the Opening Night roster versus Utah on Oct. 10. Whether or not he gets the starting nod for that game may depend on both his recovery timeline and how well Semyon Varlamov performs in preseason contests. While Sorokin likely has the edge in terms of being the starter to open the year, his hold on the No. 1 job should probably be considered tenuous at best after a rough finish to 2023-24.

Ferguson signed a professional tryout agreement with the Canucks on Sunday.

Ferguson will have an opportunity to win a role in the crease, at least in the short term, while Vancouver netminders Thatcher Demko and Arturs Silovs work their way back to full health. The 25-year-old Ferguson was selected in the seventh round by Dallas in the 2017 NHL Draft. The British Columbia native played for Minsk Dynamo of the KHL in 2023-24 -- he had a 9-9-0 record with a .904 save percentage and a 2.51 GAA in 23 regular-season contests. Ferguson has appeared in just three NHL games between Vegas and Ottawa throughout his career.

General manager Lou Lamoriello said Friday that Sorokin suffered an upper-body injury while training during the offseason, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Lamoriello said Sorokin is skating and while he may miss the start of training camp, he has no concerns about the netminder missing any time when the regular season begins. Sorokin struggled at times during the 2023-24 campaign, going 25-19-12 with a 3.01 GAA and a .908 save percentage. Look for a bounce-back season from the 29-year-old.

Stalock retired from hockey Thursday, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.

The 37-year-old last played in the NHL during the 2022-23 season, going 9-15-2 with a 3.01 GAA and a .908 save percentage for the Blackhawks. Stalock was 2-9-2 with a 3.82 GAA and an .888 save percentage in 15 games with AHL San Diego last season.

Kinkaid will be on the ice with the Islanders' prospects after being named to the rookie camp roster Thursday and signing a professional tryout agreement, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

Even if Kinkaid were to land a contract with the Islanders, it would almost certainly be a two-way deal or a minor-league-only contract considering Semyon Varlamov and Ilya Sorokin are cemented as the NHL duo heading into the 2024-25 campaign. As such, don't expect Kinkaid to offer much in the way of fantasy value this season.

Dansk penned a one-year, two-way contract with the Ducks on Thursday.

Dansk spent the 2023-24 season with AHL Calgary, going 11-12-3 with a 3.22 GAA and an .897 save percentage in 27 appearances. The 30-year-old has played in six NHL games spread over three seasons with the Golden Knights, going 4-1-0. He will provide some depth in the system as the third goaltender behind John Gibson and Lukas Dostal.
