What happened: Jaret Anderson-Dolan has signed a two-year contract with Brynas IF of the Swedish Hockey League. The 26-year-old center was an unrestricted free agent after his most recent stint with the Winnipeg Jets organization.

Why it matters: The deal removes Anderson-Dolan from the NHL free agent market heading into the 2026-27 season, a path a number of North American players not tendered new NHL deals have taken to keep playing at a high level overseas.

What to watch: Anderson-Dolan is expected to join Brynas for SHL preseason as the club prepares for the 2026-27 campaign.
