For a lot of hockey fans, Christmas really comes in July—July 1, to be exact. That’s when the NHL free agency market opens for business.
But while fans are like kids—dreaming of winning Stanley Cups if only their team can sign the “right” players—general managers are the parents who deal with the facts of life … they have to make sure any newcomers fit into the salary structure and mesh with the players they already have.

What I am wondering this year is if there is enough COMBINED cap space to sign all these UFA’s as well as retaining the RFA’s.
It would be interesting to see the total available cap space and the total estimated contract values of all free agents.
