Impact Zboril and fellow tryout defenseman Andy Welinski are officially free agents after missing the Devils' roster. It remains possible the Devils sign one or both of them to two-way deals in the coming days.

Misses out on roster Zboril did not make the Devils' roster announced Monday, James Nichols of New Jersey Hockey Now reports.
Two points in Tuesday's tuneup Zboril scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 5-4 preseason loss to the Rangers.
Impact The 27-year-old defenseman didn't pan out with the Bruins after being the 13th overall selection in the 2015 Draft, and Zboril is looking for a fresh start with the Devils on a PTO. With Luke Hughes (shoulder) set to miss the start of the season and Brett Pesce (lower leg) also banged up, there could be a spot for Zboril on the blue line, but the fact that he didn't accompany the team's regulars to Prague for a pair of Global Series games against the Sabres this weekend doesn't bode well for his chances.

Signs PTO with Devils Zboril signed a professional tryout agreement with New Jersey on Thursday.
Impact Zboril has been a disappointment since he was selected 13th overall in 2015 by the Bruins. The 27-year-old has appeared in only 76 NHL regular-season games, scoring once and adding 15 assists. Zboril spent the 2023-24 season in the minors, picking up 13 assists in 46 AHL games split between Cleveland and Providence. Should Zboril make the Devils out of training camp, he will be a depth defenseman.

Sent to Blue Jackets Zboril was acquired by Columbus from Boston in exchange for Andrew Peeke on Friday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
Impact Zboril has nine assists and 19 PIM in 31 contests with AHL Providence this season. The 27-year-old has also recorded a goal and 16 points in 76 career NHL games.

Hits waivers Zboril was waived by Boston on Wednesday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
Impact Zboril is already in the minors, so the Bruins likely just made this move to give them the flexibility to move the 26-year-old blueliner between levels without going through waivers again for the foreseeable future. Zboril has yet to play in the NHL this year.

Returns to AHL Zboril was reassigned to AHL Providence on Saturday, per CapFriendly.
Impact Milan Lucic (ankle) was placed on long-term injured reserve, and Zboril's contract made him an option to optimize the Bruins' cap relief from that move. The 26-year-old defenseman has 76 games of NHL experience, which could make him a candidate to be called up later in the year for depth on the blue line.
OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Promoted from minors Zboril was recalled from AHL Providence on Friday, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports.
Impact Zboril's addition to the NHL roster may only be temporary considering the corresponding moves leave the team without a full complement of healthy forwards. Still, if the Bruins decide to keep an extra blueliner on the roster ahead of Saturday's matchup with Detroit, Zboril should have the inside track ahead of Mason Lohrei, who was also recalled Friday, to enter the lineup.

On waivers Saturday The Bruins placed Zboril on waivers Saturday.
Impact The Bruins drafted Zboril 13th overall in 2015, much to their chagrin as the defenseman has managed to play only 76 NHL games in his career. Zboril finally managed his first goal of his NHL career last season versus the Sabres on Nov. 12. Look for Zboril to be sent to AHL Providence if he is not claimed.
