| Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs |
Neither were signed by their respective NHL club by the June 1 deadline, meaning their rights have been relinquished. Both were selected in the seventh-round of the 2023 NHL Draft: Mann was picked 199th overall by the Philadelphia Flyers while Peddle was taken 224th overall by the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Mann appeared in one game with the ECHL's Reading Royals at the end of the 2023-24 season. Peddle, meanwhile, joined the AHL's Cleveland Monsters at the end of this year's regular season but did not appear in any games.
Mann just completed his overage season of junior hockey, recording six goals and eight assists in 56 games with the Saint John Sea Dog. The 6'6", 234 lbs defenseman will presumably play some form of pro or university hockey this coming season.
#LetsGoFlyers prospects Carter Sotheran, Matteo Mann and Brian Zanetti are officially free agents as of June 1, 2025.

His father, Trent Mann, is currently a player development and scouting advisor for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Peddle has one season of junior eligibility remaining – and not signing with Columbus just about guarantees he'll be back in the QMJHL for his overage season. In 54 games with Saint John this year, the Antigonish native recorded 15 goals and 14 assists.
It’s out there already. But confirming #CBJ did not sign Tyler Peddle or Martin Rysavy before today’s deadline thus relinquishing their rights.

It doesn't come as a big shock that neither were signed. It was reported a few weeks ago by Columbus media that Peddle would not be signed by the Blue Jackets.
