Offseason News: Cap Crunch Chaos

The quiet before the storm...not a lot of additional NHL news yesterday, but the league is jockeying for the NHL Draft on Oct. 6-7, which is traditionally when lots of trades are discussed. Of course, this time the draft will not be in an arena floor where GMs and staff can circulate and talk easily, so we’ll see what effect that has.

The buyout window (top casualty: Henrik Lundqvist) is open until Oct. 8, then free agency begins and cap chaos makes its mark.

Meanwhile, one of the Isles “pups” pictured further down this page turns 31 today.
