July 1st is the first day on the NHL calendar, and free agency in a normal year, but the current pandemic means that most business will be pushed to a later date. However, it is expected that NHL players who have signing bonuses on their contract set to kick in tomorrow will be paid in the coming days.
Footnote on SB payments: Because of July 1 holiday in Canada and the USA holiday weekend, it’s possible actual payments may not get to players until next week but they are coming.

Escrow will also need to be factored in on SB but at what rate?
