The expansion draft is 7/21.
Next Sunday (7/18) protected lists will be made public
NHL Draft is 7/23 - 7/24
Free Agency opens 7/28
a lot of movement will happen IMO b/c of a lot of factors including the flat cap - teams with cap space can make out like bandits just for taking a bad contract. Tarasenko, Eichel, and more could have new homes not even considering movement to help with the expansion draft or free agency.
This article linked below from THW is great, not sure there is a ton of accuracy to it, but it's still a fun read.

Would be really excited if all of this was being done with the idea that Landeskog is a viable get.
You were all over that rule. Great job I hadn't read that quirk anywhere else.
I'm a little surprised they were this aggressive to move Leddy, though the value seems fine. Does forebode that Lou has something planned that requires a healthy amount of cap.
If you have time, use it. I’d guess a deal is in place with one of them that they can file at 4:59pm today to complete their list for Seattle if nothing else changes.
Agree, that return is pretty good considering they were likely going to lose him next week for no compensation. I see the deal from Detroit’s side as well. They get an experienced d-man who they can eat minutes and Be effective on the power play. Leddy’s contract is also expiring this year so he can bring something back at the trade deadline as well.
Detroit thinks he can get them more at trade deadline than the 2nd/Panik they traded. He also gives a veteran leader in D corps.
Leddy is a loss but the Islanders have breathing room on the cap now.

I think the Islanders did well in the Leddy trade. I don't know why DET did that trade.

That's fair, the other thing I was thinking is picks in next year's draft might be better than this year because we will have a real scouting year. So even if they still just get a second it might be better for them.
Leddy is a loss but the Islanders have breathing room on the cap now.
I think they retained salary because they could and the $1M or so got them a better player in return. Panik (if he would ever accept coaching) fits Islanders better than he does Detroit and he was blocking some younger players. I think other teams wanted one of the younger guys like Hirose or were not offering someone like Leddy.
My guess is they look at Leddy getting them back at least the draft pick they gave up at the deadline.
Trade/signing freeze is at 3pm EST today, so should see something by then from the Islanders.
Coburn or Greene would be eligible if they sign a 1 year vet minimum deal. I could also see a team with excess eligible D like Boston or especially Los Angeles being interested in a forward (or in Los Angeles’s case Varlamov with how their goalies played)

Exactly, but point is they need to make a move, whether it's a trade or signing, something has to be done in the next 4 hours.

Okay. I took your post as meaning they had to make a trade

Holy shit. Probably my favorite dman in the league. Makar is gonna get PAID
Someone should offer-sheet Makar.
Every year for the last 20 years writers seeking clicks write the evergreen "could player x be in danger of an offer sheet" and it never happens. The Aho sheet was a favor to Carolina, other than that gms don't piss off the fraternity.
Tactically I agree with you. If ever there was a situation (flat cap) and a worthy player Makar is it.
I read an article about the Rangers offer sheeting Sakic in '97. The picks they were going to give up were Malhotra, Lundmark, Blackburn, a pick used to move up and get Brendl, and a pick to acquire Bure.
A team like the Wild would be picking in the 20s with Makar for the next few years.
Also, if you're a western GM offering $10-12 you can really screw COL. Big benefit.

Sadly I like this for TOR. McCann replaces the grit they likely lose this off-season. McCann can do everything decently, not a star, but he can score, play d, play specials.
For Myers and Patrick.

I think it worked out fine, but I'm surprised they gave up Glass for Patrick.
