As October approaches, contract discussions are heating up, highlighted by Mason McTavish’s six-year, $42MM deal with the Ducks, and Toronto’s goalie situation, including Anthony Stolarz’s four-year extension and the signing of James Reimer amid Joseph Woll’s leave. Additionally, the Panthers will be without Aleksander Barkov for up to nine months due to knee surgery, while Vasily Podkolzin signed a three-year extension before taking a leave following his father’s passing.
