What happened: The three-year, $13.875 million contract settles Cole Sillinger's case. Connor Hellebuyck and Dylan Larkin remain in offseason trade discussions.

Why it matters: Larkin's no-trade clause gives him control over potential destinations. Hellebuyck has not formally requested a move, leaving his situation on a different track.

By the numbers: Sillinger's $13.875 million total value averages $4.625 million per season. Larkin is under contract through 2030-31.

What to watch: Any expansion of Larkin's preferred destinations could reopen negotiations. Hellebuyck's status remains a key question before 2026-27 camps open.
