Utah Mammoth Hold Connor Ingram Out of Camp, Will Waive If No Trade

The move follows his clearance from the league’s assistance program to pursue a mutual fresh start.

Overview

  • GM Bill Armstrong said Ingram will skip training camp as the team works to find him a new home, with waivers planned later in the preseason if no deal emerges.
  • Ingram rejoined the club in late August after entering the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program in March and is eligible to play.
  • Utah plans to open with Karel Vejmelka as starter, with newly signed Vitek Vanecek on a one-year, $1.5 million deal providing veteran depth.
  • Ingram has one year remaining at a $1.95 million cap hit with a $2.15 million salary, which could dampen waiver interest; an AHL assignment after clearing would leave an $800,000 cap charge.
  • The 28-year-old went 9-8-4 with a 3.27 goals-against average and an .882 save percentage in 22 games last season after a 2023–24 breakout that included six shutouts with Arizona.
