It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The Stanley Cup Finals are winding down, and we are one (maybe two) games way from the next Stanley Cup Champion being decided. The Carolina Hurricanes are in the offseason officially along with 28 other teams.
While the hockey season may be winding down for players, GMs and team owners around the league are just beginning the bulk of their work to prepare for next season.
Alongside various actual General Managers, several armchair GMs seem to be out in force, as is usual for this time of year. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve already seen several big-name players mentioned in trade rumors already, and it’s only a week into June.
