Now that the NHL season has finally ended (it's 30 degrees today in Toronto!), it's really time for the offseason to ramp up. A lot of teams wait to make any big trades, hirings, or firings until the Cup has been handed out, especially because of important deadlines in terms of player signing dates, contract windows, and the like.
Here's a breakdown of all of the dates that I've found, and some important Sens-related questions heading into each date so that you can follow the news accurately.
1) The major NHL buyout window opens 48 hours the Cup has been handed out (night of June 17th) and lasts until June 30th
- Will the Senators buy out Colin Greening, David Legwand, or Jared Cowen?
