Pierre LeBrun: NHL teams can conduct business with regards to college free agents and future year deals, but they are not allowed to sign contracts that involve this season just yet.
Any signing would mean it’s dated July 1st and would go into effect next season.
Eric Stephens of The Athletic: The Anaheim Ducks put forward Kiefer Sherwood on waivers (and cleared), the first transaction move by anyone since league shut down last Thursday.
Since the 24-year old Sherwood has played 60 NHL games (exactly 60) he requires waivers to be sent to the AHL.
