I have a collection of audio tapes that others in hockey would die for. No, they’re not transferred to CDs yet, but that doesn’t matter to me right now.

When the 2019-20 NHL season was paused, the status of free agency was in flux. We later learned the signing period would begin at noon ET on Oct. 9.
