While the eight remaining teams are battling for the Stanley Cup, the other 24 teams are getting ready for the fun of the summer. The draft, free agency, random franchise-changing trades are all ahead of us. It’s also restricted free agent season. Teams are deciding which players to keep in the organization, and which players to potentially poach from another.
There is some speculation that the bump in the salary cap, coupled with a lackluster unrestricted free agency class will lead to the possibility of some offer sheets being flung around this summer. Of course, this is nothing new.
