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.

Lorentz signed a professional tryout agreement with the Maple Leafs on Tuesday, according to Max Miller of The Hockey News.

After speculation that Lorentz would sign a PTO with Toronto on Tuesday, it is now official. Lorentz will look to occupy a spot in Toronto's bottom six, and he'll be a candidate to kill penalties if he makes the team. The 28-year-old forward registered just three points in 38 regular-season appearances in 2023-24, but he did manage to score twice and add an assist in 16 postseason outings with Florida en route to winning the Stanley Cup.

Draisaitl signed an eight-year, $112 million contract with Edmonton on Tuesday.

Draisaitl's new contract will go into effect beginning in the 2025-26 season and contains an annual average value of $14 million, which will make him the highest-paid player in the NHL -- even above teammate Connor McDavid and Toronto's Auston Matthews. The 2023-24 campaign could be termed a down season for the 28-year-old center, considering he failed to reach the 50-goal threshold for the first time in the previous three seasons and was limited to just 39 power-play points -- down from 62 in 2022-23. Still, Draisaitl should be a near lock to reach 100 points in 2024-25, as his durability is matched by few others. He's missed just five games over the past four campaigns.

Luff signed a professional tryout agreement with Florida on Wednesday, David Dwork of The Hockey News reports.

Luff last saw action in the NHL back in 2022-23 when he made 19 appearances for the Red Wings. In those outings, the winger managed two goals and two assists. Luff figures to be competing for a two-way contract that would allow him to play in the NHL but is more likely to spend the majority of the campaign in the minors with AHL Charlotte if the Panthers sign him to a full contract.

Bellemare will join the Avalanche on a professional tryout agreement, RDS.ca reports Wednesday.

Bellemare returns to Colorado after three seasons away, having logged 122 regular-season appearances and notched 18 goals and 15 assists with the Avs over two years. At this point in his career, Bellemare shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value given his limited offensive upside and the fact that he may periodically serve as a healthy scratch -- especially once Gabriel Landeskog (knee) and Valeri Nichushkin (suspension) return to the lineup.

Yamamoto agreed to terms on a professional tryout agreement with Utah HC on Wednesday.

Yamamoto saw action in 59 games for the Kraken last year in which he notched eight goals and eight assists, including six power-play points. Considering his steady decline in production since 2021-22 when he tallied 41 points in 81 games, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see the 25-year-old winger have to go the PTO route in order to find a landing spot for the upcoming season. If he makes the team, Yamamoto figures to take on a bottom-six role but could move up the lineup when injuries inevitably pop up.

Pacioretty signed a professional tryout agreement with Toronto on Wednesday.

Pacioretty was limited to just 47 regular-season games with the Capitals last season, recording four goals and 19 assists. If he can make the roster coming out of camp, the veteran winger could be an option with the man advantage, having notched 11 of his 23 points in that role last year. In addition, if Pacioretty can prove he is healthy, he could challenge the likes of Matthew Knies or Bobby McMann (knee) for a top-six role.

Erne signed a professional tryout agreement with the Rangers on Tuesday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.

Erne will attempt to make the Blueshirts after appearing in 24 regular-season contests with the Oilers in 2023-24, where he registered just two points. The 29-year-old would most likely compete for a spot on New York's fourth line, as their top-nine forward group appears to be set. Over the course of his career, Erne has amassed 41 goals and 50 assists in 379 appearances.

Robertson agreed to terms on a one-year, $875,000 contract with Toronto on Tuesday.

Robertson had reportedly submitted a trade request as a restricted free agent this offseason, but it seems the two sides have come to an agreement on a short-term deal. It's still possible the Leafs will move the 22-year-old winger before the start of the season or perhaps ahead of the trade deadline. For now, the California native figures to slot into a bottom-six role but could challenge for more opportunities as the season goes along.

Ristolainen (triceps) was seen skating with his teammates Sept. 3 and is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, Jon Bailey of Philly Hockey Now reports.

Ristolainen sustained the injury in February but didn't undergo surgery until April. While it was described as a ruptured triceps tendon, the procedure was never expected to keep Ristolainen out at the start of the preseason. He should be in the mix for a bottom-four role in 2024-25, though he's unlikely to provide much offense since he's reached the 20-point mark in just one of his three years with the Flyers.

Nurse is continuing to recover from an undisclosed injury suffered last season, Tom Gazzola of Edmonton Sports Talk reports Wednesday.

Nurse is not expected to miss any regular-season games but is unlikely to be available early in camp. As such, look for Nurse to miss the preseason opener versus Winnipeg on Sept. 22. The absence of the veteran blueliner will likely give Travis Dermott more opportunities to show he still has something left in the tank while on his tryout. Once Nurse is cleared to play, he figures to be paired with offseason acquisition Ty Emberson on the second pairing. Nurse may also be in the mix for power-play time, though he'll likely be competing with Emberson and Mattias Ekholm for a spot on the second unit.

Hakanpaa (knee) signed a one-year, $1.47 million contract with Toronto on Wednesday.

Hakanpaa had reportedly secured a two-year deal back in July but that contract was never officially announced by the team, leading to speculation regarding the severity of his knee issue. It seems the two sides were finally able to come to an agreement on a one-year deal instead. The blue line in Toronto is pretty packed, from veteran Oliver Ekman-Larsson to youngster Conor Timmins. As such, Hakanpaa is far from a lock to suit up for Opening Night against Montreal on Oct. 9.

Bowey agreed to terms on a professional tryout agreement with the Rangers on Wednesday, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK reports.

Bowey figures to be a long shot to actually make the Opening Night roster considering the Rangers have plenty of blue-line depth, including veterans Chad Ruhwedel and Ben Harpur. The 29-year-old Bowey hasn't logged an NHL game since 2021-22. He spent all of last season in the KHL, and is more likely to be a candidate for an AHL-only deal with the Hartford Wolf Pack once he's cut from training camp.

Levshunov sustained a foot injury that will sideline him for the Blackhawks' prospect tournament, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports Wednesday.

Levshunov's injury could impact his ability to make the 23-man roster for Opening Night versus Utah on Oct. 8. With Michigan State last year, the 18-year-old blueliner garnered nine goals and 26 assists in 38 outings. Even if Levshunov makes the team out of training camp, he may still need time in the minors during parts of the 2024-25 campaign.

Dermott (upper body) signed a professional tryout agreement with the Oilers on Tuesday, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports.

Dermott struggled with seven points in 50 games for Arizona last season. The 27-year-old will head to the Oilers with a chance to win a bottom-pairing job on the blue line, though he begins the preseason behind his fellow former Coyotes in Troy Stecher and Josh Brown.

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.

Silovs (knee) participated in Thursday's informal skate with his teammates, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Silovs was held out of Olympic qualifying matches with Latvia due to knee inflammation but appears to be trending in the right direction. The Canucks may need the 23-year-old netminder to start the season between the pipes, as No. 1 backstop Thatcher Demko is also dealing with a knee issue. For his part, Silovs has just nine regular-season games under his belt but should be expected to see upwards of 30 outings in 2024-25 -- perhaps more depending on how long Demko is shelved. Vancouver kicks off its preseason schedule Sept. 24 against Seattle, which could be Silovs first start of the campaign if his knee is given the all-clear.

Hutchinson inked a professional tryout agreement with the Devils on Thursday.

Hutchinson has been a journeyman goaltender, seeing NHL action with Winnipeg, Florida, Toronto, Colorado, Columbus and Detroit over his 11-year career. He gave up three goals on 36 shots in his lone game with the Red Wings in 2023-24 and was saddled with the loss in New Jersey. Hutchinson will attempt to make the Devils as a third goaltender, as New Jersey has Jacob Markstrom and Jake Allen firmly entrenched as their top-two goaltenders.

Blackwood (undisclosed) shared the ice with his teammates Wednesday, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Although Blackwood missed the Sharks final two contests of 2023-24 due to an undisclosed injury, he should be fine for the start of training camp. The 27-year-old is coming off a campaign in which he posted a 10-25-4 record, 3.45 GAA and .899 save percentage in 44 appearances.

Makiniemi signed a professional tryout agreement with the Flyers on Thursday, per his agency.

Makiniemi split last season between the AHL and ECHL affiliates in the Sharks' organization. At the AHL level, he recorded a 3.14 GAA and a .900 save percentage with three shutouts in 18 games. The Flyers appear to be doing their part to shore up their goaltending depth for the preseason, and Makiniemi could get an AHL contract or two-way deal should Aleksei Kolosov end up going on loan to the KHL's Dinamo Minsk.

Silovs has knee ligament inflammation and will not play for Latvia in the 2026 Olympic qualifiers, Patrick Johnston of the Province reports Thursday.

After being left off of Latvia's roster on Wednesday, there's now a reason behind Silovs' removal from the team. In Latvia's press release, they made note that this injury would prevent Silovs from performing to the highest of his capabilities. It'll be something to monitor, but this could imply that Silovs' injury isn't overly serious, but rather more of a precautionary move. The 23-year-old is expected to be Thatcher Demko's top backup in Vancouver for the 2024-25 season, who is also currently dealing with a lingering knee issue.
