Baertschi produced nine goals and 14 points in 26 games with the Canucks in 2018-19. He's spent parts of five seasons with Vancouver after beginning his career with the Calgary Flames.

The New York Islanders raised eyebrows earlier Monday when general manager Lou Lamoriello revealed Josh Ho-Sang and Thomas Hickey would be placed on waivers.

Casey DeSmith was the Pittsburgh Penguins' backup goaltender last season and posted a .916 save percentage in 36 contests.

The Tampa Bay Lightning waived Luke Schenn on Monday after signing him to a one-year, $700,000 contract on July 1.
