Free agency didn't waste any time — and neither does BG, flying solo this week to break down what might be the most chaotic offseason in recent memory. With the cap ceiling jumping to $104 million, teams have been throwing around long-term money like it's nothing, and that's before you even get to the offer sheets.
This episode covers it all, team by team: the seismic Brady Tkachuk trade sending Ottawa's captain to Florida (and the wild follow-up deal that turned that return into William Eklund), Anaheim's spiraling defense corps after losing four blueliners in one summer, and the two live offer sheets currently rattling front offices — Leo Carlsson to Philadelphia and Barrett Hayton to New Jersey — both with matching deadlines bearing down in the next few days.
BG runs the numbers on over a billion dollars in confirmed contract value across the league's biggest deals, breaks down which ELC signings from this year's draft class are already turning heads (hello, Gavin McKenna), and hands out his own Winners, Jury's Still Out, and Losers grades for all 32 teams. Plus a full division-by-division outlook for the season ahead.
