NHL 2020 Offseason

Yzerman begins weaponizing the cap space. Detroit takes on Marc Staal's deal and picks up a 2021 2nd from NYR.

Getting a free 2nd and helps with the tank? Yzerman is a genius.

Love how Bobby Mac is semi-retired but then randomly tweets about Eichel trade rumors.

NHL draft in a week!

[Keirik]

Rangers bought out Lundqvist. Sad sad day

[Majingir]

Buying him out saved them all of 3m in cap space since his cap still on the hook for 5.5m.

I wonder what happens now. Does he retire or join another team?

Being a backup for a cup contender could be an option for him.

Lundqvist and Fleury as FAs will be interesting. And Murray is also probably gone from the Pens as well.

This will be one of craziest offseasons for goalies.

Not saying I 100% agree with it but it was less about the cap space since it’ll be used on Georgiev being retained as an rfa and more to do with just closing the chapter and letting the new leaders lead. Same with dumping Staal. It was just time I guess and honestly the following year it’s only 1.5m cap hit in dead space for 21/22.

Sounds like Leafs might have a deal in place to sign Gudas if Plan A doesn't work out.

Maroon could be a guy they go after. A guy who's "been there done that" on 2 diff teams in back to back years. Perhaps he could help out the team and really drive it home to the players what a real championship team looks like.

And they signed Spezza for 1 more year at similar term as last season.
