Agreed, I think Pietrangelo, Hall and Markstrom, the guys at the top will still get their money, but the Tier 3 guys like Gustaffsson might have to settle for PTOs and minimum salary offers.
That was the impact on the salary structure the last time the CBA was settled and this Covid impact is likely to be the same.
Flames should go after the big 3, but if they don't get them, Treliving should go on vacation until a week before training camp, there should be some desperate players by then and great 1 year value deals to be signed.
