The NHL offseason will be unique because of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
It's unclear when it will even begin given it hasn't been decided whether the 2019-20 season will resume. If the campaign does conclude, it's possible that the offseason will be pushed back and not take place during the summer months. Plus, it's unclear what the salary cap for the 2020-21 season will be. If it doesn't go up from $81.5 million, that could influence the types of deals teams are willing to hand out.
Still, there are going to be some talented players on the free-agent market looking to work out deals with either new teams or their current employers.
