The Ducks missing out on the big names hurts in the short term, but there were definitely some players that got overpaid in this year's free agent frenzy. JD Hernandez explores some of the big signings across the NHL, and why it was a good thing that the Ducks didn't bite on any of those oversized deals. Also, which teams did get better this off-season with some of their moves, and which signings could age well? While some teams paid way too much, there were still some free agents after day one that could have gone to Anaheim at a reasonable price. Finally, should we already look ahead to next year's free agents as better targets for the Ducks down the line?
