What happened: David Pagnotta said previous interest in Elias Pettersson was genuine, though a move is not imminent. He expects Brock Boeser to remain in place through the 2026-27 season despite outside interest.

Why it matters: Both forwards are positioned to open training camp in place. Boeser's no-movement clause gives him control over any later deal.

By the numbers: Boeser is entering the second season of a seven-year contract carrying a $7.5 million annual cap hit.

What to watch: Watch for any change in the asking price as training camp approaches and whether Boeser's market stays quiet.
