What happened: The Utah Mammoth agreed to terms with Max Pšenička on a three-year, entry-level contract. The organization announced the prospect's deal on Thursday.
Why it matters: Pšenička joins Vadim Moroz as another recent entry-level addition as Utah builds organizational depth heading into the 2026-27 season. The Prague native provides another right-shot option on the blue line.
By the numbers: The defenseman posted eight goals and 22 assists over 53 appearances for the WHL's Portland Winterhawks during the 2025-26 campaign. He also skated in two professional games with the AHL's Tucson Roadrunners.
What to watch: Pšenička will report to training camp in the fall to compete for positioning within the defensive pipeline.
