These prices are terrifying. I'm very curious to see what Grabovski and Niskanen get. Both should be looking at $30m+ at this point. Niskanen to Detroit or Washington perhaps? Hoping the latter, as long as the contract isn't ridiculous.
July NHL News- Free Agent Frenzy

- Start date
The Gilbert deal for MTL is a $2.8m AAV.
I have no idea how Gilbert's agent swung that. Perhaps Bergevin thought it was "JEEL-bear"

Montreal also secures Sekač for 2 years and re-signs Weaver on a 1 year deal [$1.75m]
Phoenix gets Joe Vitale on a 3 year deal

The Brad Stuart trade was to Colorado for a 2nd and a 6th. Not sure in what universe Brad Stuart's still worth a 2nd.
Dallas gets Hemsky as well

Wow guys are getting paid. Krejci might get $8 million next year at this rate. Might want to look to trade him.
Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 36s
PIT signs Blake Comeau to 1 year @ $700K and Thomas Greiss, one year at $1M.

did I just hear 2 years, 1.2 per for Thorts?
I did. Good for him. Enjoy the sun and golf. See you Nov 4...

Gionta's corpse got $4.25 AAV from Buffalo.
I guess they have money to burn to get to the cap floor though. That's still a lot.

Holy shit, that's terrible.
And Pouliot got 5 years? That's this year's Contract of Regret. Just awful.
Yikes! He's 32 and has a career -59 plus/minus...-13 last season. I don't like this at all. It looks as if Lou's replaced David Clarkson...oy.PedroSpecialK said:
Buffalo, Edmonton, and Florida are spending money stupidly. And yet, Orpik's deal is my least favorite of the day. Yuck.
Mathieu Perreault at 3 years/$9m is a solid signing for WPG.

Can you fill me in on the analytics? I know he had a good year with the Rangers but the course of his career has been disappointing overall. I feel like it's unlikely he'll have the same type of success with the Oilers.
Wow, so much insane money being thrown around. The Bruins not having much cap space doesn't seem so bad today
Wow. Just catching up on all these deals. Iginla is as good as gone.
However - this also makes Boychuk and Kelly at their current salary look like a steal. Hopefully this opens up the trade market for the B's a bit.

Vanek turned down more money and term elsewhere. These teams must have not been watching the playoffs.

I wish they had cap space to make some moves and take advantage of some opportunities.
But playing in the FA market in the NHL is for FOOLS. We whine about Kelly, but there is no doubt if he was out int he market he would get a contract for more years and more money than the bruins owe him
