For the NHL’s 31 teams, it’s time to go shopping and spend some of that salary cap money they’ve been saving.
The league’s free agency period begins Saturday, and every team has a list of needs. But as is the case when one shops, some items are simply out of reach.
What will the Golden Knights do? According to capfriendly.com, they have $8.7 million of cap space. Will they splurge, given they don’t have any anticipated cap issues for their inaugural season? Will they merely window shop, kick the tires and decide to keep their money? Or will general manager George McPhee go somewhere in between and try to sign one or two free agents?
