P. Copley - G

WSH

Copley could be in line for a full-time NHL role with the Capitals in 2018-19, JJ Reagan of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Reagan's speculation stems from the emerging consensus that the Capitals will move current backup Phillip Grubauer at some point this offseason to clear salary cap room following Braden Holtby's commanding performance in the crease during Washington's Stanley Cup run this Spring. Copley certainly has enough experience to fill a vacancy for the backup goaltender spot behind Holtby, but he had a sub-par 2017-18 with AHL Hershey and there is the outside possibility that top prospect Ilya Samsonov could play well-enough during the preseason to make the Capitals roster ahead of Copley (Although, given the Capitals' preference to take their time with Samsonov's development, this seems unlikely). With so many moving parts, it's difficult to say what 2018-19 has in store for the 26-year-old netminder so prospective fantasy owners should monitor the situation as the offseason unfolds.

K. Boyle - G

ANA

Boyle agreed to a two-year contract extension with the Ducks, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Boyle spent the entirety of the 2017-18 campaign in the AHL, where he secured a record of 19-13-1 across 35 games games played while owning a 2.66 GAA. That earned him an extension with the Ducks, though he's unlikely to see a ton of time with the big club looking ahead to the upcoming campaign. Boyle likely won't be a viable fantasy target.

A. Galchenyuk - F

ARI

Galchenyuk, whom the Coyotes acquired from the Habs in exchange for Max Domi on Friday, said he's excited about the prospect of playing the center position, Craig Morgan of NHL.com reports.

Numerous reports have suggested that Galchenyuk requested to work down the middle in Montreal late last season, but he didn't get that opportunity. In Arizona, he could slot in as the second-line center taking shifts after Derek Stepan or flanking his fellow American from the right wing on the top line. For what it's worth, Galchenyuk believes he'll play center after reading comments on social media speculating that he'll end up in that spot, so we'd take this news with a grain of salt until coach Rick Tocchet has a chance to corroborate the report.

N/A

M. Domi - F

MTL

Domi agreed to terms on a two-year, $6.3 million contract with the Canadiens on Saturday.

This is a classic bridge deal which will give Domi the opportunity to prove himself over the next two seasons and Montreal a bonafide top-six forward at a reasonable rate. Perhaps more importantly, Domi will be a restricted free agent once his contract expires, which means the Canadiens will have sole ownership of his negotiating rights following the 2019-20 campaign. The 23-year-old forward, who's totaled 36 goals and 135 points in 222 NHL contests to date, will hope a change of scenery will help him return to form and surpass the 50-point threshold for the first time since his 2015-16 rookie season.

N/A

M. Moulson - F

BUF

Moulson is unlikely to have his contract bought out by the Sabres before the June 30 deadline, The Buffalo News reports.

Sabres GM Jason Botterill could save the Swords $666,667 by purchasing Moulson's contract, but that's not that much money in the grand scheme of things, and going that route also means that Buffalo would have to leave Moulson on the books through 2019-20 when he's technically only signed for one more season at $5 million. Either way, it's a tough pill for Botterill to swallow, especially considering that the winger was held pointless with a minus-9 rating over 14 games last season. The team could try to deal him and provide something more favorable to the acquiring partner in an effort to rid him out of the system, as he clearly doesn't fit into the rebuilding Sabres' plans.

Added Yesterday 10:40 am (EST)

N/A

R. Stillman - D

FLA

Stillman is set to turn pro with AHL Springfield this year, the Sun-Sentinel reports.

The Panthers, who lack organizational depth on the blue line, selected Stillman in the fourth round (114th overall) of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. He's best recognized for his service time in the OHL having posted 22 goals, 66 assists and 230 PIM over 195 games between Oshawa and Hamilton. Stillman will produce the occasional point, but he doesn't project to evolve into the type of NHL defenseman who joins the rush very often, thus limiting his appeal in fantasy games.

M. Lucic - F

EDM

Lucic is being actively shopped by the Oilers, The Athletic reports.

A power winger who's amassed 200-plus hits in five straight years following the lockout-shortened 2012-13 campaign, Lucic struggled offensively in his second go-around with the Oilers. He only managed 10 goals and 24 assists over 82 games and saw his power-play production dip by 18 points compared to his debut season with Edmonton in 2016-17. Montreal was said to be interested in acquiring Lucic two years ago, but nothing came to fruition in that regard, and besides, Habs GM Marc Bergevin just made headlines for trading Alex Galchenyuk in exchange for Max Domi, who needs a new contract as a restricted free agent.

N/A

M. Domi - F

MTL

Domi appears to be closing in on a contract extension with Montreal following his trade from Arizona on Friday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.

Domi is a restricted free agent, and it would otherwise be considered poor form if his new club played hard to get regarding a new contract after he was acquired in a 1-for-1 swap for Alex Galchenyuk. There are rumblings that Domi -- who posted 45 points in a full season with the Coyotes last season -- might end up with a bridge deal, which generally favors the organization in the sense that it gets to sign a player for a couple of seasons at a fair price, while increasing pressure on said player to prove his worth right away. Then, if all goes well, a long-term extension could be granted.
