NHL free agency opens on July 1, coinciding with Canada Day. The Utah Mammoth are eyeing several players to enhance their roster amidst a weaker free agency class. Potential targets include Andrei Kuzmenko, Scott Laughton, Carson Soucy, and Luke Schenn, all of whom bring varying skill sets that could fill gaps in Utah's lineup. Kuzmenko, a left wing, is noted for his previous success and power play capabilities, while Laughton’s experience in penalty killing is seen as valuable.
