Brace yourselves, hockey fans.
Almost a month removed from the Chicago Blackhawks claiming the Stanley Cup, the ‘dog days’ of the NHL’s offseason are officially here. With more than seven weeks to go until training camps open, and the NHL draft, the opening of free agency, and even the majority of the trade market already behind us, we are in for a long, long summer.
With today being the one day of the year where no MLB, NHL, NBA, or NFL games will be played, it gives fans time to look, in either direction. Being the free-thinking writers that we are, we have decided to look forward.
