After two up-and-down seasons in Colorado, Ivan Ivan has been acquired by Boston for Fabian Lysell. The 23-year-old undrafted Czech forward found himself on the outside looking in after only appearing in nine games for the Avalanche in 2025-26, picking up a point, two PIMs and four SOG. He is expected to compete for a spot in Boston's bottom-six for the start of the 2026-27 season.
Lysell's time in Boston's ends after just 12 appearances after the forward was traded to Colorado for Ivan Ivan on Saturday. Lysell was Boston's 2021 1st round pick (21st overall) but never panned out as planned last appearing in the NHL in 2024-25. He spent all of last season with Providence (AHL), where he put up 17 goals and 42 points in 57 games played.
Ostapchuk is coming off a career season in 2025-26 which saw him record highs in nearly all statistical categories (GP, G, Pts, PIMs, SOG), earning him a four-year, $2.35 million AAV contract extension ($9.4M total). The 23-year-old is entering his fourth full NHL season and third with the Sharks after being acquired from Ottawa in 2025 in the Fabian Zetterlund deal. He finished 2025-26 with four goals, seven points, 45 PIMs and 44 SOG in 59 games played.
With New York collecting draft picks, they also acquired Massimo Rizzo alongside the no.148 pick in the 2026 draft from Nashville for Adam Edstrom on Saturday. Rizzo is 25 and has spent the last two seasons jumping around the AHL after graduating from the University of Denver (NCAA) in 2023-24. In 14 games combined between Providence (AHL) and Milwaukee (AHL) last season he had two goals, five points and four PIMs.
Edstrom will join his second team in his fourth NHL season after it was announced mid draft on Saturday that Nashville had acquired the towering forward from New York for Massimo Rizzo and the no.148 pick in the 2026 draft. Edstrom will likely be grateful for a new start in Nashville after struggling to stay healthy in 2025-26, resulting in just three goals and five points in 35 games played.
Carlo's short tenure in Toronto is over after a season and a half after the team announced Saturday that St. Louis had acquired the 29-year-old defensemen for the 73rd overall pick in 2026 and the 76th overall pick.

Jarvis underwent shoulder surgery after the Hurricanes' Stanley Cup win and will need at least four months of recovery. That puts him out until at least late-October to late-December. GM Eric Tulsky said "there's a very real chance that we end up with sort of an open spot in our lineup for a month or two for a young player to step in and get an opportunity to show what he can do." So expect Jarvis to be sidelined when the Hurricanes open their season in the fall.
Robinson underwent offseason knee surgery and is expected to rehab for up to two months, which should give him plenty of time to get back to 100 percent before training camp in the fall. Robinson finished the 2026 season with 18 points (12G / 6A) in 67 games and added eight points (3G / 5A) in 19 playoff games during the Hurricanes' Stanley Cup winning run.
With Detroit already having Michal Postava and Trey Augustine in their goaltending prospect pipeline, Detroit has traded Sebastian Cossa to Utah for the No.23 overall pick (2026). The 23-year-old goaltender led Grand Rapids (AHL) with an impressive 26-8-4 record, .915 SV% and 2.33 GAA in 2025-26 and is expected to play a key role in Utah's crease in 2026-27.
After four full seasons in Anaheim, Mason McTavish has been acquired by St. Louis for the No.15 overall pick and the No.29 overall pick on Friday.

He is expected to be a key part of St. Louis' top-six for the 2026-27 season.
