What happened: Konchar missed time with New York this week to attend to a personal matter, per SNY. The sides decided to part ways for now to allow him more time away. He had agreed to a one-year deal with New York on Sept. 16.

Why it matters: New York is in early camp sorting final spots for the 2026-27 season. The opening leaves room to evaluate other invitees competing for the back end of the roster.

What to watch: Preseason will clarify how New York uses the open camp spot.
