Minor Transactions: 07/21/22

Not only are there several minor transactions to cover today but the AHL also released its full schedule for the upcoming season. Of note, the Calgary Flames affiliate–which still doesn’t have a name–is playing out of the Saddledome this year and will open things up against the new Coachella Valley Firebirds franchise. While each team prepares, there are plenty of spots to fill on rosters across the league. As always, we’ll keep track of all the minor moves right here.

• The Colorado Eagles have signed Mitch Vande Sompel to a one-year AHL contract, after he became a Group VI unrestricted free agent this summer. The 25-year-old has played the last four seasons with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, and recorded 18 points in 56 games this year.
• The Iowa Wild have signed Tanner Kaspick and Ty Ronning, both players that failed to receive qualifying offers from their respective NHL teams this offseason. Kaspick, who had been part of the St. Louis Blues organization, scored ten points in 45 games last season. Ronning, who had been with the New York Rangers, had 39 points in 69 games.
• Overseas, Vegas Golden Knights prospect Martins Dzierkals signed a new one-year deal in the Czech league. The Golden Knights received Dzierkal’s exclusive rights in the original Robin Lehner trade and will hold them indefinitely as he continues to play in Europe. The 25-year-old participated in the Olympics and World Championship for his country this year after putting up 30 points in 49 games for HC Plzen.
• Former Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Ian Scott has announced his retirement on Instagram, after going through multiple major injuries the last few years. The 23-year-old goaltender was the 110th pick in 2017 but managed just eight professional appearances in the years since.
