Teams are in the process of getting their rosters set with some tough cuts to be made before the regular season officially gets underway. With that in mind, it’s a good time to open up the mailbag.
Our last mailbag was split into two segments. The first discussed the recent usage of deferred salary in contracts and if that’s a mechanism we should expect to see more often, RFA contract projections for Cole Perfetti and Lucas Raymond (coming in slightly below the actual amounts for both), if Anaheim can move two long-term veterans, and more. Among the topics in the second was my annual prediction for a breakout player, discussing Calgary’s potentially tradable veterans, and what to expect from Connor Bedard’s sophomore season.
