Michigan State hockey flips Northeastern blue line commit, bringing him in for 2025-26

Just when it was thought that Adam Nightingale had completed the roster building process for the upcoming 2025-26 season, an injury at an NHL development camp left a spot open on the blue line for the Spartans. The Spartans have now filled that hole, flipping a Northeastern commit, bringing Sean Barnhill into the program for the upcoming season. A third round pick by the New York Rangers in 2025, Barnhill spent the last season playing for the Dubuque Fighting Saints of the USHL. A 6-foot-5, 215 pound defenseman, he is a native of Scottsdale, Arizona. While he was originally set to enroll at Northeastern in 2026, the Spartans used their open roster spot as leverage, gaining his commitment for the 2025 season.

Arseny Gritsyuk Eyes NHL Debut with New Jersey Devils

Arseny Gritsyuk signed with the New Jersey Devils at the end of last season and is expected to make his NHL debut this fall. However, in a recent interview with Russian outlet Sports-Express, the 24-year-old forward clarified the timeline of his move and his expectations. Gritsyuk has spent the last two seasons with SKA St. Petersburg of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), where he posted impressive numbers. In 2023–24, he recorded 38 points in 50 games. Last season, he improved to 44 points in 49 games. SKA announced on social media that both Gritsyuk and teammate Zakhar Bardakov would be leaving the club to head to North America. In his interview with Sports-Express, Gritsyuk revealed this move was always part of the plan: "We had it set: two years with SKA, then off to the NHL," he said. Off the ice, Gritsyuk has also been preparing for the transition, particularly when it comes to the language barrier. "I took lessons twice weekly before, but I've slacked off lately," he admitted. "Basic talk is fine: I know lots of words. Those small connecting words give me trouble, though." Gritsyuk officially signed his entry-level contract with the Devils on May 7, 2025. The following day, Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald addressed the media:'He's going to get an opportunity to show what he can do… He's highly skilled. He's going to get an opportunity to play for our team.' Gritsyuk is expected to compete for a roster spot in training camp. But if he doesn't make the NHL lineup, he made it clear he has a backup plan—and potentially a deadline for how long he'd stay in North America without securing an NHL role. That might sound concerning, but it's important context: a demotion to the AHL's Utica Comets would come with a steep pay cut under his entry-level deal. Still, Gritsyuk is motivated to make the leap this fall and fulfill the NHL dream he's been building toward for years. Photo Credit: © George Walker IV-Imagn Images

Edmonton Oilers' AHL roster for 2025-26 coming into view

During the 2021-22 season, Edmonton Oilers farmhand Vincent Desharnais started to gain some traction as a real NHL prospect. The giant defenceman (6-foot-7, 226 pounds) was the proud owner of a wingspan that opposition forwards could not overcome on their way to the net. The Bakersfield Condors benefited from Desharnais' unique talent, and he posted a minor-league defensive season for the ages. Advertisement At five-on-five, Desharnais delivered an on-ice goal share of 66 percent (68-35 goals) on a team that managed to score only 52 percent of the goals when he was off the ice. That impressive season, along with coach Jay Woodcroft's belief in him, allowed Desharnais to progress to an NHL career. He did not have a great draft pedigree, signed an AHL-only deal before he got an NHL contract (in March 2022, after most of his breakout season was in the books). Desharnais was 25 in 2021-22 and was already mentoring some of the younger defenders (notably Dmitri Samorukov) on the roster. The 2024-25 Condors did not have a Desharnais available on defence, but rookie Matt Savoie had a similar impact on even-strength outscoring for the team. He was 20 when he did it. In many ways, it was a lost season in California for Oilers prospects. Injuries, wayward trades and recalls left the team at times threadbare in important spots. Savoie thrived despite the chaos and became the runaway top prospect in the system. He did so despite injuries to top-end AHL centres like Lane Pederson and an NHL recall for pivot Noah Philp. Pederson as his centre for a full season might have forced a recall by Christmas, so in a way, Bakersfield fans were fortunate to see Savoie for most of the season. Savoie doesn't represent a typical AHL prospect. He was chosen top 10 in the 2022 draft. Desharnais wasn't a typical impact AHL player either, with little draft pedigree, turning pro much later than the average player, and climbing from an AHL-only contract to the NHL in a matter of months. No matter how the organization finds him, the Condors need another one. Now. Colin Chaulk took over the head coaching job with the Condors midway through the 2021-22 season. He coached several players who are now in the NHL, including Desharnais, Dylan Holloway, Philip Broberg and Mike Kesselring. Advertisement During the last four years, the team has also seen disappointing results from names like Xavier Bourgault, Raphael Lavoie and others. Most of the prospects whom Chaulk has coached in recent seasons were not high picks, but Bourgault was a first-round selection in 2021, and Lavoie was a second-round pick two years earlier. This is an important year for Chaulk. Prospects the organization believes in must find traction. None of this is Oilers general manager Stan Bowman's fault, but it is his problem. His offseason moves that will directly impact the Condors include adding a veteran AHL starting goaltender (Matt Tomkins, who finished No. 20 in save percentage among starters a year ago) to the roster. Tomkins will get plenty of work this winter, with youngsters like Samuel Jonsson, Connor Ungar and Nathan Day attempting to steal playing time behind him. What Bowman and Chaulk need to avoid is the same kind of performance dive in goal witnessed after Dec. 1 a year ago. At the beginning of the season, Condors starter Olivier Rodrigue posted a .925 save percentage. After Dec. 1, the young goaltender's percentage fell to .886 for the rest of the year. Rodrigue is without a contract at this time, and the final months of last season are most certainly the culprit. The step into an elevator shaft wasn't limited to stopping shots. The team slumped badly on the power play, but did deliver the strongest even-strength scoring season over the last three years. However, all of the scoring progress at even strength was given back at the other end. All numbers via the The numbers here show just how difficult the journey was for Bakersfield when Savoie's line was off the ice. When the rookie was deployed at even strength, Bakersfield outscored opponents 55-30 in the metric (65 percent). When he was off the ice, the Condors won the even-strength share by an eyelash, 132-130 (50 percent).

Finding a play driver will be key for Chaulk and his coaching staff this fall. (Photo of Matt Savoie: Leila Devlin / Getty Images)
