For now, Dalton Rushing will continue to serve as the Dodgers' primary catcher while Eliezer Alfonzo provides depth behind home plate.

Kawhi Leonard LAC SFRaptors' Kawhi Leonard: Trade remains on hold
1d agoAccording to Baxter Holmes of ESPN, the NBA's salary-cap circumvention investigation involving Leonard and the Clippers could extend into 2027 if the sides cannot agree on the findings or any proposed discipline.
The unresolved probe continues to delay Leonard's trade to Toronto, while the Clippers have maintained their innocence and are reportedly prepared to challenge any league-imposed penalties through arbitration. Adam Silver has publicly stated that he wants this investigation wrapped up prior to the 2026-27 season, so this will be a messy situation for fantasy managers to navigate until there's some clarity.

-
Shaedon Sharpe POR SGTrail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: More competition coming
1d agoSharpe could face increased competition for offensive opportunities after Portland acquired Ja Morant, according to Robert Ohman of Willamette Week.
Sharpe has been mentioned as a potential trade candidate as the Trail Blazers reshape their roster, though he can provide a scoring punch if he stays in Portland. His long-term upside remains intriguing, but Morant's arrival may cap his usage entering 2026-27.
-
Toumani Camara POR SFTrail Blazers' Toumani Camara: Will play key role
1d agoCamara should continue to play a major role following Portland's trade for Ja Morant, according to Robert Ohman of Willamette Week.
The Trail Blazers have been reluctant to include Camara in trade discussions because of his defensive value, and he'll remain an important complementary piece alongside Ja Morant, Damian Lillard and Deni Avdija. Camara's fantasy value should continue to be driven primarily by steals, rebounds and hustle stats in general.

Nosek came up through Pardubice's system during his developmental years.

1d agoGraf signed a three-year, $12.75 million contract extension with the Sharks on Friday.
Graf was a restricted free agent after completing his entry-level contract. He reached an agreement with the Sharks two days after linemate Macklin Celebrini signed a long-term extension.

Tommy Novak PIT CPenguins' Thomas Novak: Secures three-year extension
1d agoNovak agreed to terms on a three-year, $13.95 million contract extension with Pittsburgh on Friday.
With his extension, Novak will be locked up with the Penguins through the 2029-30 season while carrying an annual cap hit of just $4.65 million. The 29-year-old winger was a little hot and cold last year, racking up 31 points in the first 56 games, but struggled after the Olympic break, managing just 13 points in the final 32 contests, including the playoffs. Additionally, Novak ended the year having scored just once in 22 outings during that stretch. Still, Novak is set to step into the second-line center role for the Penguins ahead of the 2026-27 campaign, though youngster Ben Kindel figures to be knocking on the door for a spot in the top six.

Brett Pesce NJ DDevils' Brett Pesce: Will be healthy at start of 2026-27
2d agoPesce (lower body) is healthy and has been able to undergo his usual offseason training, Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News reports Thursday.
Pesce is participating in the Shoulder Check Showcase, which further proves he's feeling healthy. The defenseman was limited to a career-low 37 games in 2025-26, posting just seven points with 45 shots on net and 80 blocked shots over 37 appearances. Pesce should fill a shutdown role in the Devils' top four to begin 2026-27, but he's now missed the 20-point mark in three straight years, so he doesn't carry much offensive upside.
-
Colin White SJ CDevils' Colin White: Signs two-way deal
2d agoWhite agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with New Jersey on Thursday.
White failed to get into an NHL game last season, playing exclusively for AHL San Jose while logging 46 regular-season games and tallying 21 goals and 27 helpers. If the 2015 first-round pick can show that kind of offensive upside again in 2026-27, he should find himself on the short list of potential call-ups for the Devils this year.
-
Macklin Celebrini SJ CSharks' Macklin Celebrini: Gets massive payday
3d agoCelebrini signed a five-year, $94 million contract extension with the Sharks on Wednesday.
Celebrini's $18.8 million cap hit is projected to be the highest in the NHL, surpassing even Leo Carlsson's $18 million, which itself set a new standard for what young stars can expect to get paid when it was agreed upon July 3. However, Celebrini has one year remaining on his entry-level contract, so his new massive contract won't begin until the 2027-28 campaign. That leaves the door open for someone else to become the league's highest-paid player before Celebrini's deal takes effect. Regardless, the 20-year-old's upcoming paycheck is well deserved. After impressing with his 63 points as a rookie during the 2024-25 regular season, he broke out as a sophomore with 45 goals and 115 points in 82 regular-season appearances with the Sharks. Taken with the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, his time among the NHL's elite is just getting started.
