Harley was set to play more meaningful minutes in 2022-23, but the acquisition of Nils Lundkvist pushed him back to the AHL. Harley had 11 assists in 27 AHL games and four points (1G / 3A) in 34 NHL games a season ago.
Robertson has missed the entire preseason while the Stars worked out an extension for him but get him signed one week before their season opener in Nashville. Robertson is coming off a breakout year, scoring 41 goals with 38 assists (79 points) in 74 games. He was tied for 13th in goals and tied for 35th in points. With new head coach Pete DeBoer behind the bench, we'll see if he goes back to the Robertson, Roope Hintz and Joe Pavelski line that was so successful last season.
Lundkvist was selected No.28 overall in the 2018 NHL draft and registered four points (1G / 3A) in 25 NHL games with the Rangers last season. He spent most of the season in the AHL, posting 15 points (3G / 12A) in 34 games. Lundkvist will battle with Thomas Harley and Colin Miller for playing time in Dallas and could be a future D-partner of Miro Heiskanen.
Capobianco was a third-round pick in 2015 and appeared in 59 NHL games with the Coyotes over the last five years. Most of those appearances came in 2022 when he had nine points (2G / 7A) in 45 games. He'll probably be a reserve defenseman for the Jets as Dylan Samberg and Ville Heinola are poised to become full-time NHLers in the very near future.
DeSmith left Game 1 with an injury and underwent surgery on Friday morning that will end his season. With Tristan Jarry still battling an injury of his own, it's Louis Domingue's crease moving forward.
