The NHL offseason has been unusually quiet, with scarce big money moves and limited chatter. That sets up a potentially active September as teams chase late signings that could suddenly reshape fantasy rosters and cap math.

Kirill Kaprizov’s rumored eight year extension at roughly 15–16 million per season would crown the market, and Leipold’s note that they’re not far off hints at a rapid next step after Kirill’s arrival. McDavid and Robertson also figure in roundups, underscoring a market primed for dramatic September moves.
