Free agency is a national holiday in Canada so no one has to take a day off. That’s how big it is.,Now the losers in Canada who actually take a day off of work or school to watch the trade deadline day can do the same for free agency day 1

There will be no money left after the season to sign them anyway.Weak UFA class
I wonder why Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is missing? And when is the expansion draft? I'm expecting most if not all UFAs to wait until after the expansion draft!
Weak UFA class
Maybe but it might be the biggest rfa class of all time - assuming they dont sign in season of course. Offer sheet eligible names include:
Dahlin
Heiska
EP
Makar
Hughes
Just those 5 above are all blockbuster names. There's a few more too
Remember a few years ago? When Marner, Tkachuk, Point, Boeser, McAvoy, Werenski and so on were all available through offer sheets?
This looks like one of the worst free agent crops in quite a while.
Something is wrong with this. Ovechkin is UFA after this year and should be #1 on that list.2021 UFA LIST :

Yeah and the biggest name of the class - Matthews - signed prior to july deadline.
I think the 5 names I mentioned all have a bigger reputation than the ones you mentioned - outside of maybe Marner whose on that level, and possibly Point (Point sure is today - but I mean as of 1 year ago when he was holding out). So - next year's crop looks arguably better is what I'm saying.
And I didn't even add names like Laine, Svechnikov who are also going to be very sought after.
With the uniqueness of the cap and low revenue season this year - I don't think we should ignore RFA's too quickly and assume all re-sign with their teams easily.

Hey, at least free agency will be in July this year.
