Trade might need to happen earlier in the year and Florida might have to do another deal like this to get under, but they might have to make 2 trades adding players with RS and give up players they don't want to and picks.
Also, the off season we finally might see players signing with different teams other than Vegas as Vegas is going to run out of options to add and add.

Agreed. The biggest change is how these deals are completed, not how often imo. Teams being able to upgrade a depth defenceman with a much better defenceman 50% retained is still going to be appealing, it just changes the equation. And instead of every just the most capped out, over-filled rosters adding (Vegas) you’re going to get more teams on the outside of that small circle able to add and load up. Teams like Jersey, Utah, Winnipeg, Carolina, etc.
Should be fun.
