We&#8217;re closing in on the start of training camps, but the NHL rumours are going to kick up again. Teams are trying to get things in order when it comes to their respective rosters. Some players are going to be unrestricted free agents at the end of the season. This means some clubs are going to try and sign extensions before they hit the market.

Seravalli said the Flames are still trying to make a push to get Lindholm a new deal. New Calgary general manager <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/c\/conrocr01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-08-26_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Craig Conroy<\/a> has some tough choices to make, but he knows how important Lindholm. Seravalli said there may be some progress between the two sides.<\/p>\n<p>The insider said that Lindholm&#8217;s camp may be more willing to listen on an extension. Things may have looked bleak in the beginning of the summer, but there may at least be hope. The Swede is in the final year of a deal that sees him $4.85 million per season. There&#8217;s no doubt that he wants to get a nice raise for the soon-to-be 29-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>Calgary does need to get to work on signing Lindholm. He&#8217;ll likely have plenty of suitors waiting for him if he doesn&#8217;t ink a new contract. The Flames may have their hand forced when it comes to the forward if extension talks fail.<\/p>\n<h3>Dallas Stars<\/h3>\n<p><em>Rumour: Said Yousuf of The Athletic said the Stars <a href=\"https:\/\/theathletic.com\/4788548\/2023\/08\/21\/dallas-stars-defense-trades\/?source=emp_shared_article\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">may be in the market<\/a> for a right-handed defencemen at the deadline.<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Stars didn\u2019t pursue Erik Karlsson and didn\u2019t land Jeff Petry.

Pesce is in the final year of his deal and the Canes could move on from him.
