Offseason grades for all 31 NHL teams: Best signings, cap space, remaining roster holes
After one of the most challenging postseason in NHL history, teams and players had to navigate an equally challenging start to the offseason. The salary cap remained flat at $81.5 million, per the new collective bargaining agreement, which forced teams to scuttle plans and trade high-priced talent to open up space. The economic impact of the COVID-19 shutdown created budget crunches that limited options for free agents and the teams seeking to sign them. Then there was the shadow of the Seattle Kraken, as the expansion draft loomed large in offseason decisions. Some teams handled all of this well. Other teams, not so much through the first few weeks of the offseason.

NHLPA 'blindsided' by owners' request to change terms on new CBA
The NHL and NHL Players' Association are still hoping to begin the 2020-21 season on Jan. 1, but talks between the two sides hit a significant snag this week as players felt "blindsided" when owners asked to change the terms of their new collective bargaining agreement, just four months after it was agreed upon, according to a player rep. Said the rep: "This is a headache we weren't expecting." NHL owners expect to take significant financial hits in the 2020-21 season due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on revenues, specifically arena attendance. The owners informed the players that they're looking for additional cash flow and brought two ideas forward. In the new CBA, which was agreed to in July along with a "return to play" plan that allowed the 2019-20 season to finish, the players opted to defer 10% of their 2020-21 salary to be paid in three installments from 2022 to '25. Escrow was capped at 20% for the season as well.
