What happened: Carolina signed goaltender Cayden Primeau to a two-year contract and forwards Justin Robidas and Skyler Brind’Amour to one-year, two-way deals. All three were key contributors for the Chicago Wolves during their Calder Cup run.

Why it matters: The agreements preserve organizational depth ahead of the 2026-27 season. Each player must clear waivers if Carolina reassigns him to the AHL.

What to watch: Their roles and placement will be clarified during Carolina’s upcoming training camp.
