I'm curious how much they drop off. I don't think it's "out of the playoffs" bad, but what if Stolarz or Woll stumble?

Sharks also claimed Leddy

Ehlers sure is taking his time

Friedman just posted Carolina

6 x $8.5M

I was holding out hope that there'd be a surprise resigning with Winnipeg but alas

[nick]

$8.5/year is a bit lower than I'd have guessed given the paucity of higher-end talent out there

Yeah I feel like none of the jaw dropping contracts that guys from the athletic were forecasting even happened? The Provorov contract maybe but even that kind of deal has happened every offseason

There’s going to be a lot of unused cap space. Yzerman has 14 million left and it’s not like there’s a top six winger or a top four defenseman to splurge on.

K’Andre seems like a guy who will miraculously get better in the Carolina system

I don’t know if college hockey will have the same booster backing as college football, but I feel like Michigan’s new QB got like 3 mill in NIL cash

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Per year, I guess

Their four-year deal was reportedly worth $10 million, with some reports saying that he could make up to $12 million during his time in Ann Arbor.
