In a surprising turn of events, three veteran NHL players were released from their tryouts as teams prepare for the 2025-26 season. Notably, Ryan Donato, once a promising forward for the Minnesota Wild, finds himself on the market after the Seattle Kraken decided to part ways. Donato's dynamic play style has earned him attention in previous seasons, making this release a significant story for fans and analysts alike.
Meanwhile, the Chicago Blackhawks have opted to cut ties with defenseman Ian Mitchell. The young blueliner, who had shown flashes of potential, struggled to secure a consistent spot on the roster. With this decision, the Blackhawks continue to shape their lineup as they look to rebuild for the future.
Lastly, veteran goalie Jonathan Bernier has also seen his tryout with the Ottawa Senators come to an end. Bernier, who has had a long career in the NHL, faced fierce competition for the backup position, and the Senators have opted to explore other options in net. His experience will certainly attract attention from other franchises as the season approaches.
