“Everything’s squeezed, everything’s tight,” Treliving said. “You see more players extending for longer periods of time. There’s less availability of players (in free agency).'
Big names quickly scooped up, roles filled, rosters largely set.
“Five years ago, by July 2 you could hang the ‘Gone Fishing’ sign up,” said Treliving, GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs. “We’ve been living with the flat cap for awhile,” Vegas Golden Knights GM Kelly McCrimmon said. “It took awhile for teams, fans and media to really understand what the ramifications of the flat cap are.”
There are also a number of star players available to be dealt, but the math so far hasn’t worked for Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck or San Jose Sharks defenceman Erik Karlsson, among a host of others.
