The 2023 NHL free agency period is officially open!
As 12 p.m. ET on Saturday, July 1 has come to pass, NHL teams can now sign unrestricted free agents to contracts for the upcoming 2023-24 season and beyond. It’s now open season on the NHL’s biggest available stars, with general managers across the league looking to better their teams’ fortunes.
While there have been a handful of trades ahead of the start of free agency, the 2023 offseason has been somewhat subdued so far. Surprisingly, the first round of the 2023 NHL Draft featured no trades whatsoever during the course of the night. Still, a slow draft likely won’t be a precursor to an easy-going free agency period, as there are still many moves to be made this summer.
