Forward Arttu Ruotsalainen has terminated his contract with Lugano of Switzerland’s National League and signed a one-year contract with the SHL’s Frolunda HC. Ruotsalainen signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Buffalo Sabres in 2019, joining the team as an undrafted free agent out of Finland. His deal slid for one year, formerly kicking into gear when Ruotsalainen joined the Sabres for the delayed 2020-21 season. He kicked off his North American career in the AHL, though he earned a quick call-up with 13 points through his first 13 games. He continued the year as Buffalo’s extra forward, ultimately slotting into 17 NHL games and scoring five goals and six points.

Last weekend he got to check out the NASCAR race in Chicago, and this week he stopped by the Windy City Cookout. I’m low key all in for Vlasic to start being one of the faces of the franchise. But… it’s gotta be hard to sneak a 6-6 defenseman in and out of some of these events.

It is going to be the same kind of late June crunch schedule next year, too, with the Four Nations tournament coming up in February, the regular season ending April 17, at least two weeks too late. It will be the same in 2025-26 when the NHL returns to the Olympic Games in Milan.

On July 8, the Utah Hockey Club announced they re-signed forward Barrett Hayton to a two-year deal worth $2.65 million annually.

While Hayton recorded only 10 points in 33 games last season, keeping him retains the team’s potential top line with Clayton Keller and Nick Schmaltz. Playing together for a full season should see them flourish as a true first line.
