In with the new.

With Clarke MacArthur holding onto the No. 16, Derick Brassard will not only sport a new sweater next season with the Ottawa Senators, but a new number as well.

Here's the first look at Brassard's new digs.

The last Senators player to wear 19 was former captain Jason Spezza.

Sean Monahan wants to help the Calgary Flames win the Stanley Cup, and understands his role goes beyond on-ice performance.

Monahan's kept an eye on the dollars and term being allocated elsewhere in his first summer as a restricted free agent. And after seeing Steven Stamkos make concessions on his long-term pact with the Tampa Bay Lightning, he said he's willing to do the same in order to help Flames brass surround him - and fellow free agent Johnny Gaudreau - with capable talent.

"If you're a high-end player and you're playing somewhere at a young age, that's where your heart is and that's where you want to win," Monahan said Monday on TSN, according to NHL.com.

"Our goal is to bring a Stanley Cup to Calgary, so if that's what it is, that we can bring other players in, to have a little extra money room and get them in to help us to be a better team, I think that's the idea."

Instead, Monahan's representatives are insisting on term in their ongoing negotiations with Brad Treliving and his staff.

"I definitely want to be there for a long time," the forward said. "So I would prefer a longer-term contract, but that's not up for me to decide. So I think I want to be there, I want to be in Calgary for the rest of my career, so that's something that I'm looking forward to doing."

The Minnesota Wild have placed Jordan Schroeder on regular, non-buyout waivers, according to multiple reports Tuesday.

Schroeder, a restricted free agent, is scheduled for an arbitrator's ruling on July 27 - which means it's possible the Wild are posturing ahead of the third-party ruling.

The 25-year-old split duties between the Wild and their American Hockey League outfit in Iowa last season. He scored two goals and four points in 26 games at the NHL level, also scoring once in the playoffs.

You can't say Beau Bennett lacks humility.

The Stanley Cup champ with the Pittsburgh Penguins and one of the newest members of New Jersey Devils shared a Photoshopped image he received on Twitter, which pokes fun at his oft-injured playing status.

Bennett was limited to 33 games in the regular season, and one in Pittsburgh's postseason run.

The NHL's free agent frenzy quickly and abruptly halted following July 1.

After over $600 million was spent on Day 1 of free agency, teams have since become much more selective in choosing their next moves, and many players are now left nervously waiting for the chance to resume their careers.

With so many seeking jobs and only so many spots to be filled, it is only natural that many players who took to the ice last season might not be so fortunate this time around.

Here are five players who might not receive a contract heading into next season:

Mike Richards

After drug charges - which were eventually dropped - and a questionable contract termination by the Los Angeles Kings, the Washington Capitals decided to give Mike Richards another chance this season.

The club signed him to an affordable one-year, $1-million deal and pretty much got what they paid for.

Richards managed just two goals and three assists in 39 games, and went pointless in 12 playoff games.

He was lucky to have had a team take a chance on him last year, he might not be so lucky this time around.

John Scott

It's hard to believe that this year's All-Star Game MVP will likely go without a contract next season.

After becoming the feel good story of the year, John Scott is likely to go without another NHL contract. After starting the year with the Arizona Coyotes, Scott was dealt to the Montreal Canadiens where he played just one game for the big club before reporting to the St. John's IceCaps for 27 contests.

In case we needed another piece of evidence, rather than fielding phone calls on July 1, Scott was a special in-studio guest on TSN's free agency special instead.

Rene Bourque

Rene Bourque once strung together three 20-goal seasons from 2009 to 2011 with the Calgary Flames, but that was many moons ago.

Following his tenure with the Flames, he was moved to the Canadiens where he tallied just 21 goals and 39 points over 141 games.

A failed 30-game stint with the Anaheim Ducks in 2014-15, followed up with only three goals and eight points in 49 games with the Columbus Blue Jackets this past season, it's hard to imagine another team risking precious dollars on Bourque.

Christian Ehrhoff

Christian Ehrhoff has spent the last two seasons trying to join contending teams and has nothing to show for it.

After being sidelined with a concussion and subsequent concussion-like symptoms during the 2014-15 year with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Ehrhoff joined the Kings this season.

He played 40 games with the team and five with the team's AHL club before being traded to the Chicago Blackhawks. There he played eight games with the team, but served as a healthy scratch in the playoffs as the club bowed out in seven games.

With his age now a factor - 34 - his numbers dwindling, and a history of concussions to consider, Ehrhoff might just be out of luck.

Cody Hodgson

During the 2013-14 season Cody Hodgson had a career-year, hitting the 20-goal plateau for the first time while adding 24 assists for 44 points in 72 games with the Buffalo Sabres.

Two years later, he could be hard-pressed to find a roster spot on a NHL club. After following up his career-year with just six goals and 13 points in 77 games, Hodgson was moved to the Nashville Predators for the 2015-16 campaign where he didn't fare much better.

He put up just three goals and eight points in 39 games, only showing promise with the Milwaukee Admirals of the AHL where he had 11 points in 14 games.

Hodgson failed to crack the lineup for the Predators during their postseason run, and now it seems as though the former first-round pick's best chance at a roster spot could be in Europe.

P.K. Subban sees many things in Nashville; an opportunity, a vibe, a reflection of oneself.

The newest member of the Predators and their ascendant defensive corps was introduced to the media Monday, immediately speaking in adulation for the city in which he'll soon establish roots.

"It's been really, really fun. Nashville is a fun city - great people and great energy," Subban said, via TSN.

"I'm a high-energy person. Just really a zest for life, I guess you could say. I wake up every morning and just try to be better - a better person and better at what I do. I feel like Nashville is the type of city filled with people like that."

He added: "There's no question that this is a city that I'm going to embrace as home."

Subban said he feels like a rookie again, entering a new market, organization, and having a new slate of teammates. But he believes the benefit of six NHL seasons will make for a seamless transition.

"I'm definitely more prepared now to understand how to come into a new situation and build - build every day. Build relationships on and off the ice, and just progress and get better every day."

With continued advancements at the individual and team level, Subban believes he's in an environment where he can fulfill his championship aspirations he now shares with a franchise that parted with its captain to acquire him.

"I'm excited about the opportunity to win a Stanley Cup," he said. "That's what this is all about."

The Russian Hockey Federation has named a replacement for Slava Voynov on its roster for the World Cup of Hockey, appointing Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Nikita Nesterov to the squad.

Voynov was named to the initial roster for the NHL-branded showcase despite serving an indefinite suspension after being arrested and charged following a domestic incident in October 2014.

The Russian Federation fought to have the former Los Angeles Kings defender exempt after being informed of Voynov's ineligibility but was once again overruled, and acknowledged as such Monday.

Nesterov, 23, represented Russia in junior competition, but never at the men's level. He was on Russia's second- and third-place teams at the 2012 and 2013 World Junior Hockey Championships.

He joins Nikita Kucherov, Vladislav Namestnikov, and Andrei Vasilevskiy on the Russian squad, and makes 13 Lightning players named to the event.

In the Russian Federation's statement, Voynov's candidacy for international events was emphasized, as well as the fact that he and his wife were recently married.

Age is more than just a number to New York Rangers general manager Jeff Gorton.

Related: Brassard, Zibanejad deal provides value to both sides

Following news that his club had acquired forward Mika Zibanejad in a trade for forward Derick Brassard, Gorton told media Monday that the deal made too much sense not to pull the trigger.

"This is a younger player, that's coming off two 20-goal seasons ... he is just scratching the surface," Gorton said.

He added, "This is an opportunity to get better and we took it."

At 28, Brassard is five years older than Zibanejad with a larger cap hit. Zibanejad gives New York a player who has fared less productively on the power play, but provides value on the penalty kill.

Zibanejad averaged 1.42 minutes of short-handed ice time per game this past season, chipping in with two short-handed goals - a welcome addition to a team that boasted the 26th-ranked penalty kill last season.

Phil Kessel gave some children a day they won't soon forget during his Stanley Cup celebration in Toronto.

The Pittsburgh Penguins winger brought the Cup to the Hospital for Sick Children - also known as SickKids - on Monday and spent time with patients and their families.

The New York Rangers and Ottawa Senators gave hockey fans something to chew on nearly three weeks after free agency opened up.

The clubs exchanged talented forwards, swapping Mika Zibanejad and a second-round pick in 2018 for Derick Brassard and a seventh-round pick in 2018.

At first glance it can be hard to determine who exactly came out the winner in the transaction and that is simply a product of a deal that aids both sides.

Ottawa Senators

In Brassard the Senators acquire a forward who has seen his goal production climb every year since the 2012-13 season. He's coming off his most lethal season, hitting a career-high 27 goals in 80 games.

The club also addresses its need for improvement on the power play. Last season the Senators finished 26th in the league, capitalizing on just 15.8 percent of their chances.

Brassard, meanwhile, scored 22 of his 58 points last season with the extra man, contributing eight goals in the process. Meanwhile, Zibanejad managed just two power-play goals and 11 power-play points last season.

The 28-year-old will also join a familiar face behind the team's bench. Guy Boucher - who joined the Senators this offseason - coached Brassard during his last year of junior hockey with the Drummondville Voltigeurs of the QMJHL during the 2007-07 season.

While he was limited to just 14 games during the regular season, Brassard collected six goals and 25 games and another 24 points in 12 playoff games under Boucher's watchful eye.

Factor in that Brassard has put up 18 goals and 44 points in 59 playoff games over the last four years and the Senators gain a player who should aid them in their pursuit to return to the postseason.

New York Rangers

In Zibanejad the Rangers also acquire a player - who like Brassard - has seen his production rise incrementally every year since he stepped onto the ice full-time during the 2012-13 season.

Zibanejad put up his second straight season with 20 or more goals, adding another 30 assists and should provide value in his new division.

Where Brassard might make up for power-play production, Zibanejad makes up with a knack for the clutch. The Sweden native led the Senators with seven game-winning goals, three more than the next closest Senators skater and two more than Brassard.

The Rangers also acquire a forward who is over five years younger than Brassard. In a sense, New York flipped a seventh-round pick for a second - not too shabby.

Of course, the deal also helps the Rangers free up nearly $2.5 million in salary, giving them a comfortable $10.65 million of cap space and opens up room to be flexible in future deals.
