Prust will not be offered a permanent contract prior to Opening Night, but will continue practicing with the team, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

While it seems most likely Prust would sign with the Maple Leafs, he is now a free agent and could sign with any NHL team will practicing with Toronto. It is unclear what the future holds for the winger, but in terms of fantasy value, owners may want to avoid utilizing him until something more concrete regarding his status is announced. The 32-year-old was held to just 35 contests last season due to injury, which should be another red flag.
