The trade deadline and UFA Day are all about cap space now and space moving forward. Three of the best teams in the West are already looking set up moving forward.
The Blues, Sharks and Ducks are definitely sitting in the drivers seat when it comes to Cap space. All three teams look to have at least 25 million to spend this summer and each already has 15 key players signed. That is some serious leverage.
During the trade freeze I will be looking at which teams are in the best shape and which are the most desperate as the rumors begin to mount into the Deadline...
More to come and Happy Holidays!
