McAvoy (shoulder) is expected to be out until late November/early December.
McAvoy underwent a shoulder procedure in early June and the expected recovery was six months. McAvoy should miss roughly 20-to-25 games to open the season and Hampus Lindholm should play big minutes and could be the quarterback on the No.1 PP unit while McAvoy and Matt Grzelcyk are on the mend.
The Bruins signed Pavel Zacha to a one-year deal worth $3.5 million.
The Kraken have re-signed Morgan Geekie to a one-year, $1.4 million contract.
The Flames have re-signed Nikita Zadorov to a two-year, $7.5 million contract.
Zadorov is a huge (6-6, 235), physical defenseman, who had 22 points (4G / 18A) in 74 games with the Flames a season ago. The 27-year-old led Flames' defensemen in hits (181) and could take on a larger penalty killing role in 2022-23 with Erik Gudbranson now in Columbus.
The Bruins have acquired Pavel Zacha from the Devils for Erik Haula.
Zacha is a pending RFA who is coming off of a three-year deal worth $2.25M AAV. The 2015 No.6 overall pick has never fully unlocked the offensive potential he flashed as a Sarnia Sting (OHL). The 25-year-old is coming off of a 15-goal, 21-assist (36 points) season in 2021-22.
The Blue Jackets have signed Brendan Gaunce to a two-year, two-way contract extension

The Bruins "anticipate" Lindholm (upper-body) returning to the Bruins lineup for Game 6.
Lindholm has been sidelined since Game 2 but it seems likely that he will play when the Bruins face elimination in Game 6. Lindholm will likely replace Mike Reilly in the lineup and skate with Charlie McAvoy.
