Most action stalled til Thursday, extending QOs due by next Monday,
Protected RFAs may be able sign now
July 18-21 Opening of the RFA/UFA interview period Kraken have an exclusive window from July 18 at 10amET to July 21 at 10amET to speak with, and potentially sign any RFAs or UFAs left unprotected for the expansion draft by the 30 NHL club
July 21: There’s a 10amET deadline for Seattle to submit its expansion draft selections to Central Registry and the NHLPA. Also, a 10amET deadline for the Kraken to submit contracts for any of those pending RFAs/UFAs they’ve been able to sign during the interview period.
July 26: Deadline for qualifying offers.
Looking at some of the team protected lists, some goalies must have received qualifying offers before Saturday at 5pm

If the team fails to give their pending RFA one, the said RFA can declare himself UFA on "July 1" (meaning July 28th this year). We should know by then who didn't get one. But the teams probably will themselves let us know at the QO deadline.
As for the QOs themselves, as a rule the QOs are the very minimum they can be according to the CBA, so there should be zero surprise in any of the offered salary or if it is a two-way. The QO will be the very worst contract offer the team is allowed to give.
For example, last year quite a many guys right of their ELC took their QO and signed for the silly sum of $874,125, which is the mandatory 105 percent of the usual max ELC base salary $832,500 (=ELC max $925k minus the max allowed ELC signing bonus $92,5k). Teams really don't hike them up to even the much more sensible $875k.

When can teams talk to other teams' UFAs this year? Normally it's one week before free agency, so does that mean now it is ok or have they pushed it back until after the draft?

I think the new CBA says teams can't approach players (without their team's permision) until their contract is complete. So July 28 at Noon EST

Oh thanks! I guess that window is closed now. That's too bad, I kind of liked it.

You guys know if espn or tsn is televising a show at 1pm? I would imagine there should be a flurry of activities
Doubtful, that would be kinda lame because there's no deadline, they could be sitting there for hours and only have two moves be announced

really? You don't think there will be a flurry of activities?
I would imagine at least a few from Kraken. Goodrow, Hall, Eichel rumor
They could also discuss the top FAs to fill out the show.
If there is no show that is fine. Just kind of fun when they halt what they are doing and announce some kind of breaking news
I'm not saying there won't be, I never said that. What I'm saying is that there's a certain time that things need to be done in other deadlines (July 1 is usually a full day of activity), but this could be just a complete waste of time to have a bunch of on air guys doing very little, but break down a 4th liner for a pick trade every couple hours maybe. Just a devils advocate thought for why it wouldn't be a good idea haha
