Brandon Prust: Released from PTO
Prust was released from his professional tryout agreement Monday, Jim Cerny of Sporting News reports.
Prust was brought in by Los Angeles back in August but will now return to the free agent pool. After playing 35 games with Vancouver during the 2015-16 campaign, Prust was out of the league last year and will need to prove that he's worthy of a regular-season roster spot elsewhere.

Kings' Brandon Prust: Hoping to earn contract
Prust will join Los Angeles on a professional tryout agreement, Jon Rosen of LA Kings Insider reports.
After failing to secure an NHL deal heading into the 2016-17 campaign, Prust spent the year with DEL Nuremberg , where he tallied three goals and five helpers in 29 outings. If the winger can land a permanent gig with the Kings, he's unlikely to be anything more than a depth option watching from the press box more often than not.

Brandon Prust: Will not yet be signed
Prust will not be offered a permanent contract prior to Opening Night, but will continue practicing with the team, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
While it seems most likely Prust would sign with the Maple Leafs, he is now a free agent and could sign with any NHL team will practicing with Toronto. It is unclear what the future holds for the winger, but in terms of fantasy value, owners may want to avoid utilizing him until something more concrete regarding his status is announced. The 32-year-old was held to just 35 contests last season due to injury, which should be another red flag.

Maple Leafs' Brandon Prust: Ready for training camp
Prust should be ready for training camp after saying an ankle injury sustained last season is "feeling back to 100 percent," Bruce Bennett of TheHockeyNews.com reports.
Prust was limited to a career-low 35 games in 2015-16 due to a lingering ankle ailment but it appears that an offseason of rest and rehab has brought the 32-year-old left winger back to full strength. Prust has apparently been working with Leafs' skating coach, Barb Undersell, to refine his stride as he works out lingering kinks from the injury. Prust has not eclipsed the 20-point mark since the 2010-11 season and figures to provide depth at forward during his first campaign with Toronto.
