Barron, 24, had nine assists in 52 games last season with Nashville while averaging 14:15 of ice time. A first-round pick by Colorado in 2020, Barron was dealt to the Montreal Canadiens on March 21, 2022 along with a second-round pick in exchange for winger Artturi Lehkonen . He played just over two seasons with the Canadiens before he was traded to Predators on Dec. 18, 2024 for defenceman Alexandre Carrier .
Poirier, 24, appeared in 52 games with the AHL’s Texas Stars, going 27-19-6 with a .912 save percentage with a 2.61 goals-against average. He was a sixth-round pick by Dallas in 2020 and has yet to make his NHL debut.

Lyubushkin, a 32-year-old from Russia, was acquired from the Dallas Stars in July after scoring one goal and eight assists over 53 games with the team last season. Lyubushkin is entering the final season of a three-year, $9.75 million contract, featuring an average annual value of $3.25 million. He has tallied seven goals and 63 assists over 486 career games with the Arizona Coyotes, Toronto Maple Leafs , Buffalo Sabres , Anaheim Ducks and Stars.
