When does NHL free agency start?
The market to sign free agents in 2022 begins on July 13 at noon ET.
Players that are unrestricted free agents (UFAs) can begin meeting and talking with teams on the day after the NHL Entry Draft, which will run from July 7-8.

I see this was posted by a writer from the Sporting News. However, unless the rule in the CBA was quietly changed, I believe they did away with the "interview period" (i.e. legal tampering) in 2020.
Not to say there aren't informal conversations happening, but this is the first I've heard of any official change.
