Stephen Whyno of the AP: Tampa Bay Lightning GM Julien Brisebois said they zero salary cap space ahead of the trade deadline.
There are 18 teams team that have under $1 million in cap space. Teams still aren’t sure how the trade deadline is going to play out.
“There’s so much unknown because of the cap,” New York Islanders GM Lou Lamoriello said. “The cap is going to be flat next year. So any contract that you take on that is more than one year is going to disrupt whatever you’re doing next year and will put you in worse shape.
