OK, here's a turn of events.

I'm told PWHL Detroit has their five secured, but the final might not turn out to be Hilary Knight after all.

Knight apparently has continued discussing with other markets, including Las Vegas.

What an expansion process already.

[Ian Kennedy @IanKennedyCK]

As an end of day clarification.

The league tells me that it is not mandatory for each PWHL expansion team to utilize their EFO.

In other words if a team wanted to spread money to more players, rather than inking a six figure star, they could.

SIGNING: 📝 PWHL San Jose are signing D Rory Guilday to a 2-year contract, becoming the team’s 2nd signing of Phase 2 of the Expansion Roster building process.

Guilday was already under contract through 2028, and joins San Jose after being drafted 5th overall by Ottawa in 2025.

Goaltender: ✅

Quick pivot on news as we fly back home:

Quiet front on the PWHL Las Vegas side of things in terms of signings, but not for a lack of trying.

Understanding is they’ve had to pivot on a number of targets, particularly some of the Seattle players that have signed elsewhere.

[PWHL Source @PWHLSource]

@zenhagr3lli Mistake. Daryl Watts is the EFO for Detroit.

[PWHL Source @PWHLSource]

@ReganReyzja Sorry. Mistake.

[PWHL Source @PWHLSource]

SIGNING: 📝 PWHL Detroit sign F Britta Curl-Salemme to a 3-year contract, becoming the 4th player to be signed during Phase 2 of the Expansion Roster building process.

Confirming previous reports: A source tells me Fleet star Alina Müller is headed to Hamilton, where she signed a three-year deal and will reunite with former Fleet coach Kris Sparre.

[Hailey Salvian @hailey_salvian]

Some big expansion news: Swiss star forward Alina Müller has signed with PWHL Hamilton, a source has told @TheAthletic

This story will be updated.

SIGNING: 📝 PWHL San Jose have signed G Corinne Schroeder to a 2-year contract, becoming the team’s first signing of Phase 2 of the Expansion roster building process.

Seattle Torrent can now not lose any more players currently under contract through 2027 until Phase 4.

[PWHL Source @PWHLSource]

@horseynhockey It wasn't an EFO.

[PWHL Source @PWHLSource]

A brief reminder that only players who are on an expiring contract can be signed to an EFO.

Players such as Alina Müller, Cayla Barnes, Kayle Osborne, etc. are ineligible for this offer.

#PWHL

[PWHL Source @PWHLSource]

Players who have been signed to EFO's are now being assigned to their respective teams.

#PWHL

[PWHL Source @PWHLSource]

SIGNING: 📝 PWHL Detroit have signed both F Hannah Bilka and D Cayla Barnes. Bilka for 2 years, Barnes for 3 years.

Detroit now have their 2nd and 3rd signings of Phase 2 of the Expansion Roster building process.

#PWHL

[PWHL Source @PWHLSource]

SIGNING: 📝 PWHL Detroit have used their Expansion Franchise Offer (EFO) on F Daryl Watts, subsequently signing a 4-year contract, the first in league history, becoming the team’s first player of Phase 2 of the Expansion Roster building process.

#PWHL

[Ian Kennedy @IanKennedyCK]

Well we've just learned it's not just free agents who can sign in Phase 2.

Names to watch that I've heard have agreed to contracts today with expansion teams include Bilka, Barnes, Schroeder, Guilday, and Knight.

Buckle up!

[PWHL Source @PWHLSource]

As Osborne was not on an expiring contract, this signing is neither an EFO or FPO.

However, the AAV has to be of equal value or greater than the previous contract was.

#PWHL

[PWHL Source @PWHLSource]

SIGNING: 📝 PWHL Hamilton have signed G Kayle Osborne to a 3-year contract.

Osborne adds an additional year to the contract, having previously been signed through 2028 and now through 2029, coming over from the New York Sirens.

[PWHL Hamilton @PWHL_Hamilton]

How about another signing 🇨🇦

[Ian Kennedy @IanKennedyCK]

Brianne Jenner's signing was NOT an EFO.

PWHL Hamilton still has their EFO to be utilized on another player. Jenner was a player decision to sign leaving Ottawa to join Hamilton.
