Description

Between COVID and the housecleaning (ineptitude)...RFA's may all end up getting bridge deals. Sabres aren't the only team that could run into liquidity problems...resulting in smaller, shorter deals, minimal movement, abundence of youth and buy-outs to spread cash over time.
RFA's get qualifying one-year offers, those with arbitration rights get one year deals per Evolving Hockey salary Database.
Ullmark assumed to get the Korpisalo deal
Turris and Wennberg both assumed to be bought out at $8M and $10.7M in savings to their current teams respectively. Buy-outs and signings are replicated through trade and salary retention.
