The move comes as the team looks to reshape its roster following a last‑place finish in the 2025‑26 season.

With the 2026‑27 free‑agency period underway, the NHL’s collective bargaining agreement offers performance bonuses that let teams sign veterans like Patrik Laine and Alex Ovechkin to low‑value contracts.
