About our NHL Free Agency news

Latest NHL free agency news in a live feed from NewsNow, including offer sheets, top free agents, plus NHL free agency rumours and gossip.

NHL free agency refers to a period during which National Hockey League (NHL) teams are allowed to sign unrestricted free agents, re-sign their current players, or trade them to other teams. The free agency period typically takes place in the summer, following the end of the NHL playoffs and the NHL Entry Draft. During this time, teams can negotiate contracts with free agents who are not bound to any team and are available to sign with any NHL team.
