They already have been. The Devils just got a 20-20 player for free. Tyler Johnson just passed through waivers. It's insane.Teams with cap space can get solid depth players a few weeks from now for almost nothing.
Considering how few teams have cap space to spend and all owners lost money this season via lost gate receipts, this seems likely.I wonder if some good players simply won't be offered contracts.

Sure but it will be more absurd later once the cap space is really gone.Umm, Detroit already is.
It’ll happen...I wonder if some good players simply won't be offered contracts.

Ya, but some teams have internal caps. I think the financial ramifications of fanless buildings and shortened seasons are being overlooked by many fans. Hockey TV money won't cover team expenses. Teams spending up to the cap will be losing money. Depending on widespread vaccinations to be implemented by Jan is unwise, but even if it is, it will still be a shortened season. That loses money.
Oh these poor, poor millionaires :'(
True. Weird that this hasn't been up for debate... if there ever was a need for it in the history of this sport we all know and love, it'd been now.Should've given teams compliance buyouts.
