In today's video I discuss the winners and losers of the first day of NHL Free Agency! There were some good (Oilers, Predators), some bad (Kings, Bruins) and some truly WTF (Kraken, Blue Jackets). There was over 1 BILLION dollars spent on the first day of free agency which is the first time in NHL history that has happened! Some of the contracts are very good like Jeff Skinner, Viktor Arvidsson, Jake Debrusk and Jonathan Marchessault! Some contracts are really bad like Chris Tanev, Elias Lindholm, and Joel Edmundson. And some contracts make ZERO sense like Chandler Stephenson...Let me know who you think was a winner and a loser during Free Agent Frenzy! #nhl #nhlfreeagency #oilers

EDIT: at around 4:25 I accidentally say the Canucks lost Elias Pettersson when I meant to say Elias Lindholm, my bad! 😅

@kigasixtyfive Месяц назад

As an Oilers fan, I bet your brain just switched to saying that bc Petterson owns the Oilers. 😂

@AHockey1993 Месяц назад

@@kigasixtyfive Does he? Didn’t he have 1 goal in 7 games against the Oilers in the playoffs? Doesn’t sound like someone who “owns” anyone lol

@jonbenjisnomore7935 Месяц назад

Uggh I was wrong about them not being able to sign Henrique because I thought for sure he'd go to the higgest bidder or he'd want more term. Seems like it all worked out. Surprised that they couldn't re-sign Vinny, too bad, liked Vinny. A Foegle for Arvidson swap might help the roster balance issue

@Bruhaha9 Месяц назад

I wanted Debrusk too, but Bruce and David on Cult of Hockey pointed out that his points per 60 at even strength is really not as high as you’d think. Arvidson and skinner have him beat by good margin.

@AHockey1993 Месяц назад

That’s a good point!

@jonbenjisnomore7935 Месяц назад

Agree with you & the gentlemen @ the cult of hockey about Jake he didn't pass the eye test imo, the few times I watched the Bruins & their announcers barely mentioned him in their broadcasts. I think in Jake the Oilers would have gotten a streaky goal scorer like we lost in Warren Foegle minus McLovin's speed. LA signed @3.5 where Van signed 5 or 5.5? Ouch😢 I think we dodged a bullet.

@amadeoman Месяц назад

My WTF moment was from Minnesota wayyyy overpaying Middleton and Trenin, then signing 8 2-way deals. It drives me insane but they just love to overpay for mediocre aging players, while also giving them too much term.

@DiasBenes Месяц назад

If Toronto Fans are actually saying you can LTIR Tanev's contract then they do not understand how LTIR works. Any LTIR contract has to be factored in when the season starts. You cannot just acquire LTIR contracts and then go over the cap. Doesn't work that way. Its why when Las Vegas got the Shea Weber contract, they found out that they couldn't use it and maximize their cap, they then moved it to the Arizona Coyotes who used Weber's contract to get to the salary floor. Any LTIR contract is basically dead money for a team. They have to account for it on their cap structure. When the season starts, a team cap structure must be compliant including LTIR contracts. After this is done, only then can a team declare that certain players will go on long term injury reserve. Then that money is freed to sign players and do trades. But teams then have to remember that those contracts will roll over and will have to be accounted for next season including any LTIR contracts. For Las Vegas and teams like Colorado it means some serious cap juggling. Colorado is seriously fucked right now. They can't even fully field a roster since they have Landeskog and Nichushkin contracts on the books. That is 13 million that they can't use. If Tanev ever retires, then that is 4.5 million of dead money that will sit for years.

@Bruhaha9 Месяц назад

It didn’t look like Boston did that badly. Ottawa got Ullmark too. That’s a guy I wanted in Edmonton for a few years.

@Bruhaha9 Месяц назад

You said the Canucks lost Petterson… I was on the google after that.

@AHockey1993 Месяц назад

I had my wires crossed, meant to say Elias Lindholm, which was clearly labeled under the Bruins talking point later in the video lol it happens to me regularly

@veerpartapsohal7557 Месяц назад

I think the players Vancouver signed are good, but the term on debrusk is a little bit much, and also they lost more than they gained, I believe they got younger but they overall got worse imo. I also think people don’t give enough credit to Toronto, aside from their bottom 6, their top 6 is great, their defence is looking a lot better and they got some stability in net.

@Marixa1979 Месяц назад

Toronto's defense is a bunch of second and third pairing guys along with some AHL'ers. There's nobody that drives play on their back end.

@HumanLikeMan Месяц назад

I agree they addressed the defence and added a good goalie, they will be really hard to play against next year.

@kojhuj Месяц назад

brady skjei 609 gp 246 points +21 brandon montour 520 gp 252 points +40 i think montour got paid fairly. stephenson might be a bit of an overpayment although.

@AHockey1993 Месяц назад

73 of Montour's points came in 2022-23. Plus Skjei has much better underlying metrics and is an all-around better defenseman IMO. Montour is overpaid by probably 2-3 million/yr and Stephenson's contract is horrific lol

@KptKrunch9481 Месяц назад

I don't know about Stammer, I mean, he can fall off a cliff here. Going to a new team, new system, new building. I mean he'll most likely get 25 goals easy, but I think he may be hard pressed to hit 30, he's getting older, and in sports age can hit you pretty fast. Even if he does manage 35/40 goals this year, those next three he could really drop off. I get what Tampa did though - this is a business in the end and you need to look after your team first. It's not personal, it's business (as Michael Corleone would say)

marchy signed for 5.5 and oil got arvidson+perry for 5.4. should they have tried harder for marchy?
