Last week, the NWHL announced that free agency will begin on June 1, 2018. The four (?) teams will have a few weeks to get their rosters in order before they begin to plan for the 2018 entry draft.
The team has a lot to consider heading into free agency. For the first time in team history, no players have announced retirement. This comes as little surprise; Buffalo was quite a young time heading into the 2017-18 season, and it stands to reason that a lot of those younger players would return to aid the team in a fourth consecutive trip to the Isobel Cup final matchup.
