Welcome to July 1st and happy Canada day to our friends north of the border. It’s also become a holiday of sorts for NHL fans as the teams go shopping for the biggest free agent prizes around. Players can be officially signed at 12 noon eastern time as the market fully opens.
Pittsburgh’s position
As we wrote yesterday, the Penguins enter today with $5.7 million cap space for 10 forwards, seven defensemen and two goalies. They will need to sign their three restricted free agents out of that remaining space.
So put it together and the Pens really shouldn’t be that active today.
