Entwistle was placed on waivers by Florida on Wednesday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
EDGE Analysis
Entwistle is expected to report to AHL Charlotte if he goes unclaimed. He managed two points in seven games with the Checkers last season before scoring a pair of goals and adding an assist in the AHL playoffs. With 193 NHL games under his belt, all with Chicago, he'll certainly be an option for Florida if it finds itself in need of forward depth.

Entwistle signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Panthers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Entwistle had five goals, 11 points, 47 PIM and 138 hits in 67 outings with Chicago in 2023-24, but he didn't play at the NHL level last season. He dealt with injury issues in 2024-25, resulting in him finishing the regular season with a goal, two points and 10 PIM in seven outings with AHL Charlotte. However, he was able to participate in an additional eight playoff games with Charlotte, recording two goals, three points and 20 PIM. Entwistle is projected to start the upcoming campaign in the minors, but he might get an opportunity to play in the NHL at some point during the season.

Entwistle was waived by the Panthers on Tuesday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
EDGE Analysis
Entwistle will report to AHL Charlotte if he clears waivers. The right-shot forward signed a one-year, two-way contract with Florida in July after spending the first four seasons of his NHL tenure with the Blackhawks. Entwistle has collected 35 points in 193 career regular-season games.

Entwistle signed a one-year, two-way contract with Florida on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Entwistle didn't receive a qualifying offer from Chicago this offseason, making him an unrestricted free agent. He will add some physicality to Florida's bottom-six group but likely won't contribute much offensively. Entwistle has only 15 goals and 35 points in 193 career NHL appearances.

Entwistle is not expected to receive a qualifying offer from the Blackhawks on Sunday, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.
EDGE Analysis
As a result, Entwistle will become an unrestricted free agent. He supplied five goals, 11 points, 66 shots on net and 139 hits in 67 contests with Chicago during the 2023-24 campaign.

Entwistle posted an assist and three hits in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Entwistle isn't known for his offense, but he ended the campaign with four points over his last seven outings. The 24-year-old forward had 11 points, 66 shots on net, 138 hits, 47 PIM and a minus-29 rating over a career-high 67 appearances this year. Entwistle enters the offseason as a restricted free agent. He's not of much interest in fantasy as a pure bottom-six forward.

Entwistle notched an assist in a 5-2 loss to St. Louis on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Entwistle seems to have found his offensive game of late, recording one goal on four shots and two assists in his last five outings. If the 24-year-old winger can earn three more points in the last four games of the year, he will top the career high of 12 he set back in 2021-22 as a rookie.

Entwistle scored a goal, logged 15 PIM and added two PIM in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Entwistle dropped the mitts with Radko Gudas in the third period amid a line brawl. Earlier in the frame, Entwistle scored the goal that put the Blackhawks up 5-2, his second tally in seven games. The 24-year-old forward is at four tallies, seven points, 57 shots on net, 118 hits and 43 PIM through 56 contests overall while mainly filling a fourth-line role.

Entwistle scored a goal in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Red Wings on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Entwistle has managed just one shot on net over his last six contests, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that he was mired in a 36-game goal drought during which he recorded one assist. The 24-year-old winger shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value moving forward given his bottom-six role in a weak offense.

Entwistle (illness) will be in action versus the Avalanche on Tuesday, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Entwistle will return following a two-game absence due to his illness. The 24-year-old winger is mired in an eight-game goal drought during which he has managed just 10 shots and one assist. Given his fourth-line role and limited offensive upside, fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on Entwistle offering more than low-end fantasy value.
