It's over.
John Tavares, perhaps the most talented player of a generation to become a free agent, signed with the Maple Leafs. He tweeted this shortly after 13 hours. ET:
It will be a seven-year contract worth $ 77 million

Four years, 12 million dollars . Just inexcusably bad. And maybe just wait a day on this one?

Not Rick, No
A Really Important Player For Bruins Riley Nash has spent his three year contract with the Blue Jackets worth over $ 8 million. He takes Matt Calvert's piece of pie in Columbus, and, with a proven ability to climb the range, certainly provides more value as a center. Beautiful case for the Blue Jackets

Seven years after hiring him, Edmonton brought Tobias Rieder back into the lap of one year , $ 2 million. His production spewed last season with the Coyotes and the Kings, but he has the speed at which the Oilers are desperate. He could set up massive numbers if he can carve a place on Connor McDavid's wing

Hey, Jay Beagle is a piece of extremely valuable depth, there is no doubt. But what are the Canucks doing around the world at a high price for marginal talent? Commit $ 12 million to Beagle, it's walk on the water. That's all.
Roussel, who will earn $ 13 million over the same period, is also helpful, and brings a little more versatility in terms of deployment options, but remains a useless acquisition

There is little reason to be excited about what Johnson can offer less and less this season, let alone in three, four, and five seasons. There may be a lesser role that can make it worth only $ 3 million, and the Penguins have to find it. ) – sm Mt (0.8em) – sm "type =" text "content =" Bozak with the Blues "data-reactid =" 43 "> Bozak with the Blues
Group a player from Mid-six through a free agency is rarely a wise strategy, but signing Bozak at three, $ 15 million is not a terrible decision for the Blues after hiring dollars and terms as well at Perron. Bozak is by no means a reliable defensive center, even sheltered last season by Mike Babcock, but regularly meets the expected production of a secondary marker and remains a power play weapon. however, will probably need another center to push for a few minutes and compete in the middle 6.
What does this mean for Toronto? Well, this question applies It's believed that the Maple Leafs had an interest in keeping Bozak alive if their Tavares court did not happen.

Ditching Steve Mason does not receive a reward for the Winnipeg Jets – at least in the form of a new contract for Paul Stastny. He will instead sign a three-year contract with the Golden Knights worth nearly $ 20 million, leaving the enviable center-ice space between Patrik Laine and Nik Ehlers.
Although Vegas is where the agents are free, a gross overpayment from George McPhee's point of view. However Stastny has never won the $ 7 million on his last contract, and will now make just a nuance under that.
<p class = "canvas-atom canvas-text Mb (1.0em) Mb (0) – sm Mt (0.8em) – sm" type = "text" content = " Vanek back to Detroit "data-reactid =" 49 "> Vanek back to Detroit
Vanek has worn eight different jerseys over the past five seasons, and in addition to a very productive 47-game race with the Islanders, he was the most effective in Detroit. Maybe he will pick up where he left off, setting the table to secure another future asset for Detroit while earning another jersey in the process

One would think that a team that drafted, developed, exchanged, recovered and left Perron without expanding protection would see an aberrant 66-point season, but the Blues have invested four years and $ 16 million in him for a third term, anyway.

In the wake of the rupture of the links with Robin Lehner, the Sabers aim to solve their problems with a career safeguard of 32 years. Hutton emerged as the best free-agent goalie option with a superb second season behind Jake Allen in St. Louis. He played 32 games last season, compiling a 17-7-1 record based on a .931 save percentage. You need to worry about a massive increase in workload, but if Hutton and Linus Ullmark can find an effective balance, the Sabers could see a clear improvement in goal for less than $ 4 million combined . It is believed that Hutton will sign a three-year agreement worth $ 2.75 million per season.

Coming out With a season of 36 goals with the Maple Leafs, James van Riemsdyk has entered the free-agent season with more weight than n '39. any player, with the exception of Tavares. Although it is handsomely paid annually with the Flyers, signing for $ 7 million a year, it seems that he has lost some of that leverage. Due to the interest shown by the non-playoff teams, van Riemsdyk returns to the team that drafted it on a five-year deal. The term will help to remain productive throughout the duration of the transaction, but will have a significant impact on its earning potential.
