The past week in the NHL has been crazy, and while there aren't many free agents left, a top agent has now revealed some big time trades could be coming with teams around the league having money to spend.

While there weren't many players available in free agency this season, we've still seen plenty of movement around the NHL over the past week, with many faces finding themselves in new opportunities.

However, that doesn't mean the off-season is over, far from it in fact, especially after this prediction from NHL agent Allen Walsh, who reveals that there's still some blockbuster moves to come.

There is approximately $275 Million of available cap space remaining within the system for next year. The most common comment from NHL teams right now - "we have the cap dollars but no players to spend them on." Watch for the trade market to heat up next week.

According to Walsh, teams around the league are flush with cash, and with contenders looking to find ways to upgrade, it's safe to say that there's plenty of moves left to come, and even ones that could change the very landscape of the National Hockey League.

With players like Bowen Byram, Mason McTavish and Marco Rossi among others all still vulnerable to offer sheets, there's the potential for moves there, and with the likes of Rasmus Andersson, Bryan Rust, Rickard Rakell and many others seen as trade candidates, things could heat up yet.

In his comments, Walsh didn't hint at any particular trade, meaning that we could see some very shocking moves in the weeks to come, so for now, expect plenty of changes and moves to come before training camp officially arrives.
