NHL veterans including Patrik Laine remain without contracts
Several veteran NHL players remain without contracts as training camps and the regular season approach. Patrik Laine, who played only five games last season due to injury, is among the notable free agents. While the Ottawa Senators reportedly considered an offer for Laine, they ultimately decided he was not a suitable fit for their roster. Media reports suggest interest from teams in Toronto, Florida, Dallas, and Tampa Bay, though no agreement has been reached.
Other prominent players seeking contracts include defenseman John Klingberg, who recorded 27 points in 56 games for San Jose last season, and Vladimir Tarasenko, who tallied 47 points for the Minnesota Wild. The list of uncontracted players also includes forwards such as Evander Kane, Michael Bunting, and Adam Henrique, as well as goaltenders Matt Murray, Connor Ingram, Cam Talbot, and Petr Mrazek.
