Philip Broberg was called up from AHL Bakersfield and will join the team for Saturday's game against Chicago. (Source: Jason Gregor on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Broberg will take Slater Keokkoek's spot on the roster. Keokkoek suffered a lower-body injury during Thursday's game against Winnipeg.
The New Jersey Devils called up Holtz to join the team in Los Angeles. He is expected to make his debut against the Kings tonight. (Source: Amanda Stein on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: The seventh overall pick of the 2020 draft arrives in the NHL having had started off blisteringly hot in Utica to begin the year. He is not a "must add" at this moment, but keep an eye on how he adjusts. He may not be on waivers for long.
The Buffalo Sabres have traded Jack Eichel and a 2023 third-round pick to the Vegas Golden Knights for Alex Tuch, Peyton Krebs, a 2022 first-round pick, and a 2023 third-round pick. (Source: Darren Dreger on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Tuch is still recovering from offseason shoulder surgery but he should be ready to make his Sabres debut in about a month. When the time comes, the 25 year-old winger should see an uptick in his ice time as he'll play a more prominent role with the Sabres than he did with the the Knights.
Carey Price, who entered the NHL/NHLPA 30-day assistance program on Oct. 7, is expected to return on Friday, Nov. 5. (Source: Yahoo)
Fantasy Impact: If he is available in your league, he can be added. In deeper leagues, Jake Allen is still worth a roster spot until Price's usage/performance is determined.
Driedger returns to share goaltending duties with Philipp Grubauer after a six-game absence with a lower-body injury. (Source: Bob Condor on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Though Driedger had a stellar .927 save percentage and a 2.07 GAA last season with Florida, he is still second on the depth chart behind Grubauer. Keep an eye on how the Kraken use them going forward as both could provide value. Goalie Joey Daccord was optioned to AHL Charlotte to make room on the roster.
Caufield, the consensus #3 prospect heading into the 2021-22 season, was sent to the Laval Rocket after scoring zero goals with only one assist in Montreal's first 10 games. (Source: Yahoo)
Fantasy Impact: Frustrated fantasy managers expecting Caufield to pick up where he left off from last year can slide him into their NA slots or stash him for the time being. With a plus/minus of -3 and dwindling TOI, hopefully he will recover some of the confidence that made him so electric for his first 10 games. The Canadiens recalled Michael Pezzetta from Laval but until they sort through their rotation issues, he's best left on waivers.
The New York Rangers and defenseman Adam Fox have agreed to terms on a 7-year $66.5 million contract extension. (Source: NY Rangers on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Reigning Norris Trophy winner, Adam Fox, has gotten off to a hot start this 2021 season and was awarded with a long term contract extension to stay with the New York Rangers for seven more years. His top spot on the blue line should be solidified for years to come, making him a top choice defenseman on any fantasy roster.
Kyle Palmieri and Travis Zajac were traded Wednesday to the New York Islanders. In return, the Devils receive depth forwards A.J. Greer and Mason Jobst, the Islanders' first-round pick in the 2021 NHL draft and a conditional fourth-round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft. (Source: ESPN)
Fantasy Impact: Palmieri will help ease the loss of Anders Lee to his season-ending injury. He will not be among the elite wingers but should be on rosters in all but the shallowest leagues. Zajac is 35 years old but there are plenty of leagues where he would be useful.
Ilya Samsonov will miss the next for games for breaking the NHL Covid-19 protocols. (Source: Stephen Whyno on Twiter)
Fantasy Impact: Samsonov should be locked and loaded once his quarantine time is over. It is tough to lose your top goaltender for sitting with teammates.
The forward has signed for $3 million ($1.5 each year). (Source: Ryan Rishaug via Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: This season Archibald has 20 points in 59 games played, which is, so far, his best season.
Per Coach Sullivan, Angello was recalled on an emergency basis due to the illness of Branden Tanev. (Source: Penguins via Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Angello has one point (a goal) in the eight games he has played. He was on the ice less than seven minutes on Tuesday, so he has basically no fantasy impact.
Jonathan Bernier allowed three goals in the Red Wings' 4-3 shootout loss to the Senators on Saturday. He saved 36-39 shots against in the loss. Bernier dropped his record to 13-20-3 with a 2.94 GAA and a .907 SV%.
Fantasy Impact: Bernier is playing behind a bad team. He is also not a top end goalie the mix of the makes it tough. Yet he is the clear must start guy in Detroit.
The Oilers gave up center Kyle Brodziak who is on long-term injured reserve and a draft pick. (Source: WXYZ Detroit)
Fantasy Impact: Green was on the ice for 12:58 in his first game for Edmonton. He has 11 points in 49 games (-33) and is not likely to have much fantasy impact.

Chris Kreider and the New York Rangers have come to terms on a seven-year contract extension that has a $6.5 million annual salary. (Source: ESPN.com)
Fantasy Impact: Kreider was one of the bigger names circulating in trade rumors during the days leading up to the deadline. He was to be a UFA by the summer and the Rangers realized they needed to get a long-term deal done or trade him to get their money's worth. His recent strong play most likely had an impact in convincing the Rangers to shell out the money to their talented forward. He has 24 goals and 45 points in 60 games.
The New York Rangers have decided to trade Brady Skjei to the Carolina Hurricanes for a first-round pick. (Source: Bob McKenzie on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Skjei had spent his first five seasons with the Rangers while compiling 25 goals, 112 points, and a minus-25 rating through 307 games played.
The Penguins received Conor Sheary and Evan Rodrigues in return for the back-liner. (Source: Adam Gretz of NBC Sports)
Fantasy Impact: In 55 games, Sheary had 19 points in 55 games (-4). Evan Rodrigues tallied nine points in 38 games (-8). So a very active trade deadline day for the Oilers, with fallout to-be-determined.
The center, along with this line-mate Anthony Angello were both assigned to Wilkes-Barra/Scranton just before the 3 p.m. deadline. (Source: Penguins News)
Fantasy Impact: Lafferty had only 13 points in 61 games, so this transaction is of little fantasy interest.
The third-pair defenseman was sent down to the Hershey Bears just before the 3 p.m. deadline. (Source: Kyle Mace via Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: This of minimal fantasy interest, but the Caps can recall Sieganthaler at any time for maximum flexibility.
The Oilers get a "talented" forward while giving up a fifth-round 2021 draft pick to the Senators. (Source: Josh Young of Last Word on Hockey)
Fantasy Impact: Ennis recorded 14 goals and 19 assists for 33 points in 61 games. This should be good for injury-plagued Edmonton.
Robin Lehner has been traded to the Las Vegas Golden Knights for an unknown return. (Source: Darren Dreger on Twitter )
Fantasy Impact: WOW! Lehner to the Knights was never on the known radar. He is the most talented goalie on the roster at this point in their careers. It is unknown who will see the playoffs starts at this time but the next couple of months should decide that.
