The Dallas Stars were reportedly interested in bringing Granlund back after meshing with the team after joining before the trade deadline. However, the Stars were not able to match the $7 million AAV, three-year contract from the Anaheim Ducks. Granlund provides some depth at the center position after losing Trevor Zegras in a trade last week. The 33-year-old Granlund had 66 points (22G / 44A) in 80 games last season.

Despite Anaheim acquiring Petr Mrazek on Saturday in a deal that shipped John Gibson out of town, Anaheim continued to add to their goaltending depth for the 2025-26 season after signing Ville Husso to a two-year, $4.4 million contract extension ($2.2 million AAV). The 30-year-old was acquired at last year's trade deadline from Detroit and posted a 2-6-3 record with a 3.47 GAA and .890 SV% between the Ducks and Red Wings last season.

Poehling finds himself on his third team in seven seasons after the forward was acquired from Anaheim alongside a 2025 2nd-round pick (45th overall) and a 2026 4th-round pick from Anaheim for Trevor Zegras. The 26-year-old Poehling put up career highs in nearly all categories last season, with 12 goals, 31 points and 16 PIMs in 68 games played.

The 23-year-old forward will have an uphill battle to make the Ducks out of training camp for the start of the 2025-26 season.

Pettersson was Anaheim's 2024 2nd-round pick (35th overall) and has signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Ducks on Friday. The 19-year-old Swedish center spent 2024-25 split between MoDo Hockey (SHL) and Ostersunds IK (HockeyAllsvenskan). He is expected to play for Brynas IF of the SHL for the 2025-26 season.

The Red Wings will attempt to end their 2024-25 season on a four-game winning streak, turning to Mrazek between the pipes on Thursday against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The 33-year-old goalie has a 2.49 GAA and .902 SV% in five appearances with the Red Wings this season (2-2-0). Detroit enters their season-finale on Thursday as +144 road underdogs against a Maple Leafs team outscoring their opposition 13-4 during a four-game winning streak.
