Dobes signed a two-year, $1.93 million contract with Montreal on Sunday.

The Canadiens signed Kaapo Kahkonen on Tuesday to a one-year, $1.15 million contract, but Dobes likely still has the inside track to be the team's No. 2 goaltender going into the 2025-26 campaign. The 24-year-old Dobes impressed in his rookie year, posting a 7-4-3 record with one shutout, a 2.74 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 16 regular-season appearances with Montreal in 2024-25.

Suchanek (knee) was on the ice for the Ducks' development camp and is expected to be ready for the 2025-26 season, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports Saturday.

Suchanek sustained a torn ACL and was ruled out for 6-8 months just before camp last season. The 22-year-old resumed skating in April and participated in development camp this past week. He should begin 2025-26 with AHL San Diego. If he can get up to speed quickly, he could be an option to make his NHL debut this year if one of Lukas Dostal or Petr Mrazek is unavailable for any reason.

Martin signed a two-year contract with CSKA Moscow of the KHL on Wednesday, Tony Androckitis of Inside AHL Hockey reports.

Martin made nine appearances at the NHL level in 2024-25, but he struggled to a 3-4-1 record with a 3.89 GAA and an .846 save percentage. He'll take his services overseas to one of the KHL's stronger teams. At 30 years old, it's possible Martin has played his last NHL game, though a strong performance in Russia could carve a path for him to come back to North America at some point.

Keyser signed a one-year minor-league contract with AHL Colorado on Wednesday.

Keyser played with Kunlun Red Star of the KHL last year, struggling to a 3.61 GAA and .896 save percentage over 13 games. He previously logged five seasons of AHL experience with Providence. While unlikely, if Keyser plays well with the Eagles, the Avalanche may be interested in giving him a two-way contract down the line.

Shepard signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Senators on Wednesday.

Shepard had a 2.80 GAA and an .891 save percentage in 39 regular-season appearances with AHL Hershey in 2024-25. He's appeared in five career regular-season games at the NHL level, posting a 2-2-1 record, 3.94 GAA and .866 save percentage. Shepard is expected to start 2025-26 in the minors.

Poulter inked a one-year, two-way contract with Winnipeg on Wednesday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Poulter wasn't originally given a qualifying offer by the Jets but will stick with the club for at least one more year. With Connor Hellebuyck and Eric Comrie the established duo at the NHL level, the 23-year-old Poulter enters the upcoming campaign as the No. 3 netminder at best and figures to play primarily with AHL Manitoba this year.

Petersen signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Wild on Wednesday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Petersen had a 3.14 GAA and an .885 save percentage across 31 regular-season appearances with AHL Lehigh Valley in 2024-25. Although he signed a one-way contract, the 30-year-old still has a tough battle ahead of him for the backup role in Minnesota behind Filip Gustavsson. The 22-year-old Jesper Wallstedt will also be fighting for the No. 2 spot during training camp and is favored to win the job. If Petersen loses that battle, he will probably be the first goaltender summoned in the event of an injury, though Petersen would have to clear waivers before he can be sent to the minors.

Primeau has signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Hurricanes, the team announced Tuesday.

Primeau was a restricted free agent when he was acquired by Carolina from Montreal on Monday in exchange for a 2026 seventh-round pick. The 25-year-old dominated with AHL Laval during the 2024-25 regular season, posting a 21-2-3 record, 1.92 GAA and .927 save percentage across 26 appearances. The Hurricanes are likely to open the season with Frederik Andersen and Pyotr Kochetkov as their NHL goaltenders, but Primeau should be the first netminder promoted in the event of an injury.

Tomkins signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Oilers on Tuesday, PuckPedia reports.

Tomkins figures to just be organizational depth for the Oilers, and he'll likely start this coming season in the AHL. The 31-year-old posted a 12-10-5 record with a 2.55 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 26 regular-season outings with AHL Syracuse in 2024-25.

Vanecek signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Mammoth on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Vanecek spent parts of last season with both the Sharks and the Panthers, playing 25 regular-season games in the NHL between the two, but he didn't have a save percentage above .900 for either team. The 29-year-old joins an already established goaltending duo in Karel Vejmelka and Connor Ingram to compete for playing time with, so don't be surprised if he begins this coming season in the minor leagues.
