The NHL offseason is a time when teams bolster their rosters through signings and trades. Sometimes that's for the long haul, but often the player is a stopgap whose eventual fate is pulling on another team's jersey at the next trade deadline.
Look at Jason Zucker last season. He signed a one-year deal for a good amount of money with the Arizona Coyotes after four seasons in Pittsburgh. Arizona knew it would get some solid veteran play from the 32-year-old. Zucker knew his pedigree and pending free agent status meant he'd probably be flipped at the deadline.
