Yeah, it's really difficult to predict this one.

I think a lot of teams are going to avoid signing players to big contracts due to the uncertainty. Some players, especially mid-tier UFAs, will likely opt for the security of having a contract over salary.

I personally wouldn't be throwing money at expensive free agents until we see where the chips land. There could also be a lot of sellers over the next year as well if owners start going into cash savings mode.
