Welcome to July 1st. Today is meant to be the start of a new calendar year for the NHL, a day where Free Agency gets wild, where teams can start shaping their rosters in the fight for success, where there’s always next year! This year is different, obviously, there’s a pandemic. And as a result, we are still waiting for the major portions of the NHL’s spring and summer to be completed.
The NHL Playoffs are set to begin with Phase 3 of the Return to Play Protocol coming within the next month. Games again, finally.
