Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames are given deadline for trades as arbitration dates released
Today the NHL announced all the arbitration dates for all the players and teams who have elected for the process. While players are still able to sign extensions and avoid arbitration up until these dates it does set a deadline for certain teams to trade players as well.
The two most notable names on this list include Jesse Puljujarvi and Matthew Tkachuk. Both of these players have been heavily rumoured in trade talks. The Edmonton Oilers, who have s very difficult cap situation to navigate likely won't be able to account for Puljujarvi's cap hit. This likely means they'll be looking to trade the former 4th overall pick within the next week.
The Flames will have until August 11th to deal Tkachuk to avoid an arbitration award that will walk Tkachuk to free agency and limit their potential return.
