Pachal had two assists, 18 SOG, eight PIMs and a +2 plus/minus through 10 games in 2022-23 with Vegas and has signed a two-year, $1.55 Million contract extension ($775,000 AAV). The 23-year-old defenseman was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Golden Knights originally, and has played in 12 NHL games since.
Sharangovich was acquired on Tuesday as a part of the trade that sent Tyler Toffoli to the Devils. The 25-year-old forward saw his role diminish last season, and his offensive output drop as a result. In Calgary, he should serve as a middle-6 winger with 25-25 upside.
Nylander spent most of the 2023 season in the AHL, where he had 50 points (25G / 25A) in 55 games. During his brief time with the Pittsburgh Penguins, he tallied two points (1G / 1A) in nine games. His one-way contract means the 25-year-old will be with the Penguins for 2024.
Livingstone had eight goals, 27 assists, 30 PIMs and a +10 plus/minus through 39 games with Minnesota State University (Mankato) (NCAA) and has signed a one-year, entry-level contract with the Nashville Predators.
The Flames selected Coronato with the No.13 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft. The 20-year-old winger produced nearly identical results in his two seasons at Harvard University, scoring 20 goals with 16 assists (36 points) in 35 games in 2023. He also represented the USA at the 2022 World Juniors, posting seven points (4G /3A) in five games.
Frost set career-highs in games played (55), goals (5) and assists (11) with the Flyers in 2022. The RFA gets a one-year deal and will maintain his RFA status next summer. Frost should be a full-time NHLer in 2022-23.
The Devils selected Nemec with the No.2 overall pick in this summer's NHL Draft. The 18-year-old Slovakian defenseman had 26 points (1G / 25A) in 39 games with Nitra MHC (Slovak Extraliga) last season. He also represented Slovakia at the 2022 World Juniors (one assist in two games) and the 2022 Olympics (one assist in seven games).
Strome found a home on the Rangers' second line playing with Artemi Panarin for the last three seasons, tallying 53 goals and 109 assists (162 points) in 200 games--22 goals and 45 assists (67 points) per 82-game pace. In Anaheim he should play a similar role as the No.2 centre behind Trevor Zegras but likely will not have the star power of Panarin on his wing.
The Flames drafted Kerins in the sixth-round in 2020 and he has exploded in 2022. The 19-year-old currently leads the Son Greyhounds (OHL) with 84 points (33G / 51A) in 50 games.
