Briere told reporters at the team's rookie camp Tuesday that Kolosov has not reported to the team and wanted to be guaranteed a spot with the NHL team, or else continue to develop in the KHL with Dinamo Minsk rather than with the Flyers' AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.

Briere said the Flyers already granted Kolosov an additional year of training in the KHL last year.

"That was the understanding," Briere said. "Last year, when we signed the contract, he asked us to loan him back for one year so he can keep developing for one year, and then he would come over. And then we're here now and he's still saying the same thing.

"It's time for him to step up and respect the contract."

The Flyers want Kolosov to begin integrating himself into North American hockey as well as acclimating to a new home and learning English.

"I get it, you might be homesick, but that's the life of a professional hockey player. You've got to adapt if you want to play hockey. That's just how it is," Briere said.

Kolosov could have been the No. 3 goalie on the Flyers' organizational depth chart, Briere said. But the club signed Russian Ivan Fedotov to serve as the backup to No. 1 goalie Samuel Ersson.

Kolosov was a third-round pick (No. 78 overall) by Philadelphia in the 2021 NHL Draft.

The Flyers already had a similar situation take place with forward Cutter Gauthier, though they sank more draft capital in that case. Gauthier was the fifth overall draft pick in 2022, but his camp eventually told the team that Gauthier had no interest in playing for Philadelphia.

The Flyers then traded Gauthier to the Anaheim Ducks in January 2024 for defenseman Jamie Drysdale and a 2025 second-round pick.

Briere didn't indicate that another trade could be in the works. Any team that might be interested in Kolosov as a prospect presumably would need to guarantee him an NHL-level job right away to peel him away from the KHL.

"I guess we can still hope that he decides to show up if he wants to play hockey, but it's not looking like it at this point," Briere said. "It is what it is. We have to move on."

Lindell, 30, is entering the final season of a six-year, $34.8 million contract he signed in 2019. The new deal will take him through the 2029-30 season.

Lindell recorded 26 points (five goals, 21 assists) while playing in all 82 games last season. He added five points (three goals, two assists) and logged an average of 24:45 of ice time during 19 games in the playoffs.

Lindell has totaled 191 points (49 goals, 142 assists) in 604 career games since being selected by the Stars in the third round of the 2012 NHL Draft.

Wideman, 34, sat out last season due to a back injury. The unrestricted free agent last played with the Montreal Canadiens in 2022-23, recording six assists and a career-high 81 penalty minutes in 46 games.

"After much thought, I have decided it is best for my health and my family to retire from playing hockey professionally," Wideman said in a statement, posted by the Canadiens. "I made numerous attempts at rehabilitation, therapy and many different treatments, but eventually it became apparent that returning to the game I love would not be possible."

Wideman totaled 78 points (20 goals, 58 assists) in 291 career games with the Ottawa Senators, Edmonton Oilers, Florida Panthers and Canadiens. He was selected by the Senators in the fourth round of the 2009 NHL Draft.

"I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to live out my childhood dream of playing in the National Hockey League," Wideman said. "I'm not sure yet how I'll manage to stay close to the game that I love, but as I did with everything else in my career, I know I'll find a way."

Krebs, 23, recorded 17 points (four goals, 13 assists) and 67 penalty minutes in 80 games last season for the Sabres.

He has totaled 66 points (20 goals, 46 assists) in 215 career games with the Vegas Golden Knights and Buffalo.

Krebs was selected by the Golden Knights with the 17th overall pick of the 2019 NHL Draft. The Knights, in turn, traded Krebs, fellow forward Alex Tuch and two draft picks for star Jack Eichel on Nov. 4, 2021.

Raymond, 22, was the fourth overall pick of the 2020 NHL Draft and has blossomed into one of the Red Wings' best players.

In 2023-24, Raymond's third season in the league, he led Detroit with 72 points (31 goals, 41 assists). All of those numbers marked career bests. He appeared in all 82 games and set career highs in blocked shots (27), hits (69), takeaways (48) and plus-minus (minus-12).

Through 238 career games, Raymond has amassed 174 points (71 goals, 103 assists) for the Red Wings.

He and young teammates like defenseman Moritz Seider are attempting to end the Original Six franchise's eight-year playoff drought. The Red Wings went 41-32-9 (91 points) last season and missed the postseason by a tiebreaker for the last wild-card spot with Washington.

Crosby, the No. 1 pick in the 2005 NHL Draft, is ramping up for a team-record 20th season with the Penguins and his 18th as team captain.

Pittsburgh general Kyle Dubas confirmed in a team-issued statement that the deal holds an average annual value of $8.7 million.

"There are no words to properly describe what Sidney Crosby means to the game of hockey, the city of Pittsburgh and the Penguins organization," said Dubas. "Sidney is the greatest player of his generation and one of the greatest players in the history of the game. His actions today show why he is one of hockey's greatest winners and leaders. Sid is making a tremendous personal sacrifice in an effort to help the Penguins win, both now and in the future, as he has done for his entire career."

The 37-year-old Crosby has three Stanley Cups with the Penguins and is climbing career records lists. He's 10th on the NHL's all-time points list with 1,596

"Sid's work ethic, focus, character, and mastery of his craft are the stuff of legends to those inside of hockey. Yet, what makes Sid most special is that he actually surpasses that legend with his daily commitment to his craft and to helping the Penguins win," Dubas said. "His dedication to the Penguins through 2027 ensures that our franchise will have its Captain as we go through this phase of our project. Sid's commitment reiterates our urgency to build a team around him that can return our team to contention and provide our players with Sid's leadership and example of what it means to be a Pittsburgh Penguin."

Only Steve Yzerman -- a 19-season captain with the Detroit Red Wings -- was a longer-tenured captain in NHL history than Crosby, the Penguins' all-time leader in games played (1,272), even-strength goals (416), even-strength points (1,025) and game-winning goals (90).

Crosby trails only Mario Lemieux on the Penguins' career chart in goals (592), assists (1,004) and points (1,596). Lemieux (690-1,033-1,723) is the only NHL No. 1 pick who has recorded more points than Crosby.

A 10-time All-Star, Crosby is also a two-time winner of the Hart Trophy, the Art Ross Trophy, the Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy and the Conn Smythe Trophy.

The 35-year-old veteran tallied 38 points (11 goals, 27 assists) in 71 games with the Boston Bruins in 2023-24.

"James van Riemsdyk has been a very consistent, productive player throughout his career and bringing him to Columbus will not only provide depth to our group up front, but also valuable leadership and another veteran presence in our dressing room," Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell said in a news release Sunday.

Van Riemsdyk has 629 points (311 goals, 318 assists) in 1,011 career games with the Philadelphia Flyers (2009-12, 2018-23), Toronto Maple Leafs (2012-18) and Bruins.

The New Jersey native was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2007 draft by the Flyers. He has recorded 21 goals and 15 assists in 82 games in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Van Riemsdyk's experience and leadership could help to steady the Blue Jackets as they move on without Johnny Gaudreau, who was killed in an accident on Aug. 29 at age 31.

Sean Higgins, 43, had a blood-alcohol content of 0.087 percent, above the New Jersey limit of 0.08 court, prosecutors said during a detention hearing in Salem County Superior Court. He was traveling in Oldmans Township at the same time Johnny, 31, and Matthew Gaudreau, 29, were riding bicycles along the right shoulder.

The incident occurred Aug. 29, the day before Katie Gaudreau, the younger sister of the men, was scheduled to get married.

According to The Washington Post, prosecutor Jonathan Flynn said in court Friday that Higgins was upset about a family issue and drank a beer at home. Then he left the house to drive around -- continuing to drink alcohol while on road and grew impatient at the two cars ahead of him, which had slowed because of the presence of the Gaudreaus. He tried to pass on the right, striking the men.

They were pronounced dead at the scene.

While Higgins' attorneys argued he should be released from detention because he had no criminal convictions on his record, is the father of two daughters and was not a flight risk, Salem County Judge Michael J. Silvanio ordered Higgins to be held without bail until his Oct. 15, the date of his next hearing, per The Post.

Higgins has been charged with two counts of second-degree death by auto, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, plus other charges. He appeared virtually during the hearing and cried at times.

Hughes, 21, won't need surgery for the injury to his left shoulder, sustained earlier this month in offseason training. He is in New Jersey for treatment and physical therapy under the team's guidance.

The Devils play their preseason opener on Sept. 22 against the New York Islanders. They begin the regular season on Oct. 4-5 with two games against the Buffalo Sabres in Prague.

An eight-week absence would put Hughes back in the lineup in early November, potentially missing as many as 15 games.

Hughes posted 47 points (nine goals, 38 assists) in 82 games in 2023-24, making the All-Rookie Team and finishing third in the voting for the Calder Trophy.

Drafted No. 4 overall in 2021, Hughes made his NHL debut in 2022-23 and tallied one goal and one assist in two games.

He shares the cover of the EA Sports NHL 25 video game, released next month, with his brothers Quinn (Vancouver Canucks) and Jack (Devils).

The Centennial Authority, the appointed body responsible for overseeing the arena, approved the 10-year naming-rights contract for the Lenovo Center on Thursday. The agreement will begin in September and run through the 2033-34 NHL season.

The building previously was named the PNC Arena, RBC Center and the Raleigh Entertainment and Sports Arena.

"This is an exciting day for Raleigh, Wake County, and the whole state of North Carolina," said Philip Isley, chairman of the Centennial Authority.

"This partnership is about more than just re-naming the arena. Lenovo will play a vital role integrating technology into our upcoming arena renovations and enhancements. Lenovo has deep roots in North Carolina, and we're thrilled that they are strengthening those roots with this naming rights agreement."

Hakanpaa, 32, recorded 12 points (two goals, 10 assists) in 64 games with the Dallas Stars during the 2023-24 season.

In 288 career NHL regular season games, he has tallied 45 points (15 goals, 30 assists) and 173 penalty minutes with the Anaheim Ducks (2019-21), Carolina Hurricanes (2021) and Dallas (2021-24) while adding four points (one goal, three assists) in 33 career playoff games.

Hakanpaa was selected by the St. Louis Blues in the fourth round of the 2010 NHL Draft.

It's a two-way deal for the 32-year-old veteran, worth $800,000 at the NHL level.

Tinordi played 52 games with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2023-24 and posted nine assists and 64 penalty minutes.

He has 30 points (four goals, 26 assists) and 234 penalty minutes in 205 games with six teams over nine seasons.

The Montreal Canadiens selected Tinordi with the 22nd overall pick in the 2010 NHL Draft.

Larsson, 31, was heading into the final season of a four-year, $16 million deal he signed with Seattle after being selected in the 2021 expansion draft.

He has only missed one game in three seasons with the Kraken. He contributed 18 points (four goals, 14 assists) with 55 penalty minutes, 151 blocks and 162 hits in 81 games in 2023-24.

Larsson has posted 213 points (45 goals, 168 assists) and 504 penalty minutes in 848 games with the New Jersey Devils (2011-16), Edmonton Oilers (2016-21) and Kraken. He has 13 points in 38 playoff games.

He set career highs across the board with 27 points (14 goals, 13 assists) and 56 games in 2023-24.

Robertson, who turns 23 on Wednesday, was Toronto's second-round pick (53rd overall) in the 2019 NHL Draft.

Over parts of four seasons, the California native has posted 34 points (17 goals, 17 assists) in 87 games.

The driver, Sean M. Higgins, remains in jail after the judge postponed the hearing to Sept. 13 to provide more time for the attorneys to prepare their cases. Higgins appeared virtually on Thursday at his first pretrial hearing.

The Columbus Blue Jackets, one of the teams Johnny Gaudreau starred for during his stellar 11-year NHL career, announced they will stream the service on their website.

The Gaudreau brothers were killed Thursday night in New Jersey when they were struck while riding bicycles not far from their family home. The Gaudreau family had gathered in Salem County to attend the wedding of the men's sister, Katie, which had been scheduled for Friday. The event was canceled. Johnny was 31; Matthew was 29.

Johnny Gaudreau played parts of 11 NHL seasons with the Blue Jackets and Calgary Flames and took part in seven All-Star games. At Boston College, he won the Hobey Baker Award as the nation's top player in 2013-14, and Matthew was his teammate that season.

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman is among several members of the hockey community expected to attend the service, along with the entire Blue Jackets team, according to general manager Don Waddell.

On Wednesday night, fans and current and former players in the two cities where Johnny Gaudreau played in the NHL gathered in remembrance with candlelight vigils.

Outside the Blue Jackets' arena, a 13-minute, 21-second silent remembrance was held while a slideshow displayed photos of the brothers throughout their lives, from childhood to their teenage years and at Boston College, where the brothers played together. The slideshow also contained footage of them playing pro hockey and included their marriages and the baptisms of their children.

Thousands gathered outside the Flames' arena as well, chanting "Johnny! Johnny!" in honor of the player known throughout the sport as "Johnny Hockey."

Obituaries released on Thursday directed donations to be made to John & Matthew Gaudreau Foundation, care of Gross at Sports Professional Management in Englewood Cliffs, N.J.

Higgins, 43, is being held at a Salem County (N.J.) jail and is charged with two counts of death by auto. He's also charged with reckless driving, consuming alcohol in a motor vehicle and possession of an open container.

Higgins hired attorneys Matthew Portella and Richard Klineburger III to represent him.

"This is a tragedy involving a great deal of emotion and impacting many individuals," they said in a statement. "It is too early in the stages of the legal process to make any out of court statements."

His professional career began in 2004 when the Penguins selected him in the second round of the NHL draft. He split the first 14 years of his career between Pittsburgh, where he won a Stanley Cup, as well as the Dallas Stars and Arizona Coyotes before spending the past three seasons in his native Minnesota with the Wild.

In the 2023-24 season, he appeared in 36 games and had 10 assists.

"I think I've known for a while," Goligoski told The Athletic about retirement. "Do you hang around and see if some team wants to throw some money at you? I have no desire to move my family. No desire to go by myself and do all that. That's the most amazing thing about finishing in Minnesota. It makes it easier to say, ‘Hey, I'm good.'

"I think it's the longevity of it, honestly. I can totally see where it'd be very difficult if you're not planning on being done, where it's like you don't get a contract but you're still younger. It feels to me like I've had my fun, I've done it long enough. I'm good to step away and move on."

In 1,078 regular-season games, he tallied 475 points (87 goals, 388 assists) and added 21 points (seven goals, 14 assists) in 47 playoff games.

He was the second 17-year defenseman to retire Thursday, joining Marc Staal.

Both are expected to report on Sept. 18 for training camp.

Hutchinson, 34, a third-round pick of the Boston Bruins in the 2008 draft, lost his only NHL appearance last season with the Detroit Red Wings. Over 11 seasons, he is 57-62-18 with a 2.94 goals-against average and a .902 save percentage for the Winnipeg Jets (2013-18), followed by stints with the Florida Panthers, Toronto Maple Leafs, Colorado Avalanche, Columbus Blue Jackets and Red Wings.

Zboril, 27, was a Bruins' first-round pick (13th overall) in the 2015 draft, and has one goal and 15 assists in 76 career games with Boston since debuting in the 2018-19 season.

The contract carries an annual average value of $775,000.

Rifai, 26, played in two games for the Maple Leafs in February, averaging 11:40 in ice time.

In 57 games with the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League last season, Rifai notched 19 points (two goals, 17 assists). In three playoff games, he chipped in three goals and an assist.

Rifai has 35 points (six goals, 29 assists) in 126 regular-season games and five points (three goals, two assists) in eight playoff games with the Marlies.

He first signed with the organization in March 2022 on a one-year AHL contract.

In his new job, Staal will work with defensemen throughout the organization. His retirement as a player comes approximately one month after his older brother, Eric, officially hung up his skates after 18 NHL seasons.

Marc Staal, 37, played his first 13 seasons with the Rangers after he was selected by the team with the 12th overall pick of the 2005 NHL Draft. His 892 games with New York are the sixth most in franchise history, trailing only Hall of Fame members Harry Howell (1,160), Brian Leetch (1,129) and Rod Gilbert (1,065) as well as Ron Greschner (981) and Walt Tkaczuk (945).

"Congratulations Marc on a great career!" the Rangers wrote on social media. "Thrilled to have you back and looking forward to your next chapter as #NYR Player Development Assistant."

Marc Staal recorded five points (one goal, four assists) in 35 games last season with the Philadelphia Flyers.

He totaled 234 career points (53 goals, 181 assists) in 1,136 career games with the Rangers, Detroit Red Wings, Florida Panthers and Flyers. He added 20 points (seven goals, 13 assists) in 128 playoff games.

Per the agreement, Henderson will wear Senators gear and team colors one day per tournament and use the team's branding on her golf towels and water bottles. She also will participate in activities linked to the NHL team while in Ottawa.

"(It's) a piece of home," said Henderson, who is from Smiths Falls, Ontario. "I'm very proud to do it: Show everybody who I'm cheering for and where my love is. And also, I feel like, with the water bottle I'll feel like one of the guys on the bench, so that'll be pretty cool too."

Henderson, 26, is a 13-time LPGA Tour winner -- including victories at the 2016 Women's PGA Championship and 2022 Evian Championship.

"I'm super excited to team up and partner with the Senators. It's such a cool opportunity," Henderson said. "Growing up, I played hockey, I loved hockey, and I always cheered for the Senators, so it feels like a perfect fit.

"Just being involved with an organization that has world class athletes who, every day, are pursuing their dreams and pushing themselves, I think it's really neat to partner up with them, and I'm excited to see where it goes."
