Deadline Friday 11:59 PM Calgary time

You'll notice that Paul Stastny was on the list. He was re-signed by the Preds, however we didn't realize that by signing him and Hutton it put the team well over the cap. Given that a number of teams have given up significant assets to clear space, we think it is only fair to release Stastny to the UFA pool. The Preds have and had the room to re-sign Hutton so he remains on the team.

In full transparency, there was a question regarding another team signing their UFAs who are now over the cap. That team was under the cap when the players were re-signed and only exceeded the cap as a result of trades that were made after that.
