Well, Elon just announced restrictions on amount of posts users can read anyways. Between spez and him, they're really trying to get people off the internet outside again.
Going for a bike ride right now. Elon wins again.
Feels like a weaker free agent class compared to more recent years. Like there doesn't feel like one guy who everyone wants and holds up other players signing while teams bid on the one guy. So I'm expecting some pretty rapid deals coming out.
As a Devils fan, really not much in FA to get excited over, some depth signings maybe but any big splash we do will be through trades.
I feel like Orlov was the big name this year, and he signed on with the Canes pretty fast. Tears my soul apart as a Caps fan.

As mentioned earlier this week, all signs point to Milan Lucic landing in Boston. Deal still has to be worked out once market opens, but that's where it's most likely headed.
Wonder what Duchene will sign for. Could be some fantastic value there
Seems like the GMs aren't in a rush to make trades and sign players they way they've been in the past.
With the cap finally confirmed I think we’ll see a bunch of cap-clearing moves.
I can't believe the Kraken didn't give an offer to Geekie and he's an UFA now. I've loved him since his first game on the Canes and I don't want to see him leave, especially since I've now moved from Raleigh to Seattle.
I think today's going to be rapid-fire. There's a lot of depth out there. I'm just glad the Cats still have their core for another season and $10M of cap space to address their needs (defense, depth forwards). Even better, they're a destination now so players actually want to sign here.
