NHL teams finalize rosters ahead of training camps opening September 17

With NHL training camps set to start on September 17, teams are working to finalize their rosters. Key issues include trade requests from Dylan Larkin and Connor Hellebuyck, both under long-term contracts. The imminent collective-bargaining agreement change also affects contract terms, limiting maximum contracts. Additionally, major restricted free agents like Cutter Gauthier and Adam Fantilli are yet to be re-signed, with progress reported in some negotiations. The Minnesota Wild's Quinn Hughes is entering the final year of his contract and may be seeking an extension, while several teams continue to seek captains after recent changes.
