In a normal year, the deadline to sign certain draft prospects with expiring rights is June 1st, at 5pm EST. This year is not normal in any sense of the word, so we could see this deadline extended. It is being reported that this deadline has been extended a month to July 1st.
Per multiple sources, the June 1 deadline to sign some NHL draftees has reportedly been bumped to July 1. First domino on Critical Dates calendar to fall. Impacts #Flames with Milos Roman and Linus Lindstrom.
