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.

Aman won't receive a qualifying offer from the Canucks, and he'll become an unrestricted free agent Wednesday.

Aman has spent the last four seasons with the Canucks, but he played for AHL Abbotsford for most of the 2025-26 campaign. He generated six goals, 35 assists and 16 PIM over 55 regular-season appearances in the minors last year and will now seek out other opportunities during the offseason.

Veleno will become an unrestricted free agent after not receiving a qualifying offer from the Canadiens on Monday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Veleno ended 2025-26, including the playoffs, on a 43-game goal drought. The 26-year-old center generated just five points over 61 regular-season games in total. Given his offensive limitations, Veleno is unlikely to offer much in the way of fantasy value regardless of where he signs this offseason.

Avon signed a one-year, two-way contract with Seattle on Monday.

During the 2025-26 campaign with AHL Coachella Valley, Avon supplied 10 goals and 24 points in 45 regular-season games before adding seven tallies and one assist in 12 playoff outings. He doesn't have any NHL playing time yet, and it wouldn't be surprising if he spends most of 2026-27 in the minors.

Harrison won't receive a qualifying offer from the Flyers, and he'll become an unrestricted free agent Wednesday, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

Harrison was traded to the Flyers from the Bruins in March, but he hasn't yet made his NHL debut. He made 58 regular-season appearances between AHL Providence and AHL Lehigh Valley during the 2025-26 campaign, recording 10 goals, 11 assists and eight PIM.

Tomasino will be an unrestricted free agent after the Flyers chose not to give him a qualifying offer Monday, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

Tomasino accounted for 12 goals and 41 points in 52 AHL regular-season games between Lehigh Valley and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2025-26. He also had one assist in nine NHL outings with Pittsburgh during the 2025-26 regular season.

Brind'Amour didn't receive a qualifying offer from Carolina on Monday, which means he will become an unrestricted free agent.

Brind'Amour notched 16 goals and 34 points in 68 regular-season outings with AHL Chicago in 2025-26 before adding two goals and four points in 21 appearances during the Calder Cup Playoffs. He didn't have a point in four NHL games with Carolina during the 2025-26 regular season.

Drury signed a five-year, $22.5 million contract with Nashville on Sunday, PuckPedia reports.

Drury generated 10 goals, 27 points, 99 shots on net, 56 blocked shots and 46 hits in 82 regular-season games for Colorado in 2025-26. The Predators acquired Drury, Chase Bradley and a 2029 third-round pick from the Avalanche on Wednesday in exchange for Fedor Svechkov and Zachary L'Heureux.

Ivan was acquired by Boston from Colorado on Saturday in exchange for Fabian Lysell.

Ivan had an assist in nine regular-season appearances with the Avalanche in 2025-26. While he didn't play much at the top level in 2025-26, he got plenty of work with AHL Colorado, recording 11 goals, 26 points and 40 PIM in 66 regular-season games before contributing three goals and 15 points in 17 playoff appearances. The 23-year-old is likely to start the upcoming campaign in the minors.
