What happened: Martin Biron said a holdout could occur if Connor Hellebuyck's trade request remains unresolved before training camp.

Why it matters: A full no-movement clause narrows the potential market for any deal. The unresolved situation could carry into preparations for the 2026-27 season.

By the numbers: Hellebuyck has five years remaining on an $8.5 million annual contract.

What to watch: The focus shifts to whether trade talks produce a resolution before training camp.
