Looks like quite a few guys getting signed to 1 yr x 2-way deals right now. Wonder if the cap going up might mean that some of these guys get roster spots next season.

Teams are signing these guys to contracts and then waiving them to send them down to the AHL, insurance for injuries? Or keeping players for a year with the hopes of being able to utilize them when more money comes available?

I think these guys are insurance and they're taking the deals in the hope they catch with the new team next year.

I thank management is keeping their powder dry with the expectations they'll blow it all next year on the UFA crop (big and deep!).

Think most teams are going to have a few HIGH paid stars, a handful of mid-range talent, and then a rotating cast of short term rentals who compete for those 1 year, $1M contracts. Teams will hope to compete based on the players they have on ELC or bridge deals that underpay their talent.

If high paid doesn’t mean talented, you’ve described my team.
