NHL Training Camps are set to open in the coming weeks and all teams will be forced to become salary compliant for the beginning of the season. With multiple free agents still on the market and some RFAs unsigned, teams are looking at ways to create cap space. This will also allow teams to potentially use the waiver wire to improve their club, should the opportunity arise.
The Senators need to create room if the team would like to sign Shane Pinto, while rumors have swirled all summer that the Vancouver Canucks have tried on multiple occasions to move Tyler Myers. With so many teams sitting at or near the salary cap ceiling the next few weeks could create some real excitement among fans.
