Teams are getting impatient while they wait for the Stanley Cup to be decided. The NHL Draft is next week and free agency very close behind, but the NHL tends to encourage teams to hold off on their moves to give the Finals the full spotlight. Well, after five games and a series that could drag on until June 24th, the teams have gotten impatient. The summer moves have started to flow. And if you ask me, these moves only add more attention onto hockey from fans of teams who likely have disconnected from the season already.
Jacob Markstrom got traded from Calgary to New Jersey for a first round pick and a defensive prospect. The Devils are getting Markstrom at $4.125 million with two years left.
Full trade details:

Bahl, first RD pick 2025 (top 10 protected) for Markstrom with 31.25% retained on his remaining contract which has two more years.
Barclay Goodrow is off the Rangers and back on the Sharks after being placed and claimed on waivers. This situation might've been messy, according to reports.
San Jose has claimed Barclay Goodrow off waivers

“There is widespread belief that Barclay Goodrow had #SJSharks on his 15-team no-trade list that #NYR GM Chris Drury got around by placing him on waivers, where San Jose claimed him.

We’ve been told by several folks Goodrow is not happy about how this went down.” | @NYP_Brooksie https://t.co/E0vQy2nvl1
Kuemper for Dubois also happened. Dubois' massive contract has a NMC that kicks in on July 1st, so LA got him out before that started. Maybe it'll go better for the Quebecer since this time he won't be choosing where he goes. Kuemper is a goalie, who knows where in the range of playable he'll be next season. He has three years left on his deal.
The Capitals have traded Darcy Kuemper to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for Pierre-Luc Dubois. Have always wanted to say this: the trade is one for one, no salary retention.

We are giving the unique opportunity for an LGBTQ+ artist to design our next Pride Night jersey!
Think it could be you or someone you know?! We are accepting portfolios until July 7th.

Possibly more moves coming from the Food Takes Insider.
Believe the Ottawa Senators and Philadelphia Flyers have the framework of a trade in place as well, though this one may go closer to the Draft.
