Day one of free agency in the NHL started with a bang as we got a flurry of moves right when the official window opened up at noon eastern time. There were plenty of moves that we saw coming over the last few days but we also got a few absolute stunners. Nothing was a bigger surprise than Johnny Gaudreau choosing to sign with the Columbus Blue Jackets and that's where Jason and Frank started today on the show.From there, they hit on pretty much every major move that we saw today from the way the goaltending market played out to even some of the big trades that went down in between all the big signings. Some teams came out looking really good while others, like the Vegas Golden Knights, really couldn't find a way to improve their rosters.They also talked about the big-name UFAs that didn't find new homes today like Nazem Kadri, Ondrej Palat, and John Klingberg. Frank gave us the latest on what the market looks like for those players. To wrap up the show they brought in Tyler for a new edition of Buy or Sell delivered by Door Dash, which sparked a great conversation about the game croquet!1:45 - Gaudreau to CBJ6:40 - The Devils & Flyers missed out11:15 - What happens in CGY?15:10 - What happened in Vegas?17:40 - Rest of the Pacific?18:55 - Wings & the 'Yzerplan'22:55 - Value signings26:10 - Palat, Klingberg, and Kadri47:20 - Grier's first offseason53:30 - Buy or Sell delivered by DoorDash Hosted on Acast.
