A look ahead at the key offseason dates coming soon

Now that the 2021-22 NHL season has officially come to an end, it's time to look ahead at some of the key offseason dates coming up.

The first important date is as early as this Friday, which is when the first buyout opens for NHL teams. The only contract with any value in buying out for the Boston Bruins would be that of Nick Foligno. However, per reports, that sounds unlikely this offseason.

Here are some other important dates that come in the first few weeks of July:

July 2nd - Club-elected salary arbitration deadline

- NHL Draft Round 1

July 8th - NHL Draft Round 2-7

July 11th - Qualifying Offer deadline for RFAs

July 12th - First buyout window closes

July 13th - Free Agency

Some other important dates:

July 17th - Player-elected salary arbitration deadline

July 22 - Qualifying offers expire

July 27th to August 11th - Arbitration hearings
