Meanwhile, arbitration dates are set, the Rangers avoid arbitration with Braden Schneider, and speculation swirls around Patrick Kane.

After signing with the Detroit Red Wings in 2021 and spending two seasons in Detroit, Jordan Oesterle has called time on his professional hockey career at age 34, citing gratitude for the opportunities and relationships forged throughout his 12‑year NHL tenure.
