The 27-year-old has <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/hifk.fi\/kanadalainen-jake-leschyshyn-vahvistamaan-hifkn-keskikaistaa-kahden-suunnan-sentteri\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">signed a one-year contract with HIFK Helsinki<\/a>, a club in Liiga, the top division of hockey in Finland.<\/p>\n<p>A mainstay of the NHL\/AHL bubble for the last half-decade, Leschyshyn most recently was a member of the Buffalo Sabres organization, scoring 13 goals and 22 points for the Rochester Americans. For nearly three years prior to 2025-26, Leschyshyn played in the New York Rangers organization, most recently appearing in the NHL in 2023-24. Leschyshyn was originally selected in the second round of the 2017 draft, No. 62 overall, by the Vegas Golden Knights.<\/p>\n<p>Other notes from around the NHL:<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/g\/gettiti01.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Tim Gettinger<\/a>, who is also a former Ranger, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sheffieldsteelers.co.uk\/former-nhler-tim-gettinger-signs-for-the-steelers\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">signed a contract<\/a> with England\u2019s Sheffield Steelers, a club that competes in the EIHL. Gettinger was solid organizational depth for the Rangers from 2018-2023, before spending two seasons with the Grand Rapids Griffins. Despite scoring double-digit goals in the AHL five times, Gettinger left the North American pro game in the summer of 2025 to sign in Germany with the Schwenninger Wild Wings. While he was always reasonably productive in the AHL, the forward\u2019s debut in the European pro game could have been better, as he scored just seven points in 30 DEL games.<br \/>\nVeteran forward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/a\/andrean01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-08-01_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Andy Andreoff<\/a>, 35, agreed on a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.khl.ru\/news\/2026\/08\/01\/563933.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">mutual contract termination<\/a> with his KHL club, Sibir Novosibirsk. Outside of a brief 19-game stint in Switzerland with ZSC Lions last season, Andreoff has spent the last three years with Sibir, serving as one of the club\u2019s more consistent and productive forwards. After leaving the New York Islanders organization for the KHL in the summer of 2023, Andreoff scored 27 goals in his debut campaign in Novosibirsk. Now that he\u2019s no longer under contract, it\u2019s unclear what the next step is for the veteran of 188 NHL games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Center Jake Leschyshyn, who has over 400 games of experience at the top levels of North American pro&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":838277,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[3063,410647,64,63,84195,410648,981,144603,575,85,410649],"class_list":["post-838276","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-ahl","tag-andy-andreoff","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-del","tag-jake-leschyshyn","tag-khl","tag-liiga","tag-nhl","tag-sports","tag-tim-gettinger"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/838276","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=838276"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/838276\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/838277"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=838276"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=838276"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=838276"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
