Popular Post HKSR Posted July 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) So far the key dates I know of are: July 9 - Buyout Period as per CapFriendly: "For the 2021 off-season, the buyout period begins 48 hours after the Stanley Cup Final ends. It concludes on July 27 at 5 pm EST." - Now Open https://www.tsn.ca/nhl-rumours-buyouts-new-york-rangers-1.1665783 July 13 - Deadline for teams to ask a player to waive their NMC for the Expansion Draft July 16 - Last day to put a player on waivers prior to Expansion Draft. Also deadline for players to agree to waive their NMC. July 17 @ noon - Expansion Draft trade and waivers freeze begins. Seattle can sign UFAs/RFAs and make trades. July 17 @ 2PM - NHL Teams to submit Protection Lists for Expansion Draft July 18 @ 7AM - NHL must approve and distribute protection lists to all NHL teams. We will likely hear about the lists through media around this time. Seattle can now interview pending UFAs and RFAs on exposure lists and may sign them. Signing counts as selection from that team. July 21 @ 5PM - Expansion Draft July 22 @ 10AM - Trade and Waiver freeze is lifted July 23 and 24 - NHL Entry Draft July 26 - Last day to submit qualifying offers to RFAs July 27 @ 2PM - Buyout period ends July 28 @ 9AM - Free Agency opens Have I missed anything? Or is any of this inaccurate? EDIT: Added more. Might have some of the times wrong as I'm not 100% sure if they're PST, CST or EST Edited July 9, 2021 by HKSR 3 15 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next few weeks will be a lot of fun for fans Could definitely be 3-weeks where we see some significant changes across the league. I'm curious if we'll see buyouts right away tomorrow or if there will be no action for a few days followed by a torrent of activity once the first buyout occurs.
