On Monday, the NHL released the full preseason schedule for the 2021-22 campaign, and it won't be long before the first puck drops. Preseason action will get underway Sept. 25, so there's little more than a month until the players will return to the ice in a competitive setting.
That also means the offseason is winding down. Most of the major moves have already taken place, and the league's 32 teams have a pretty good idea of what their rosters will look like at the start of the upcoming season. But there's still the potential for some late signings and trades before hockey returns.
