This offseason has already been a flurry of excitement from a boat load of trades to the expansion draft. The upcoming free agency period will be no different as there are a lot of great players set to hit the open market. Including Gabriel Landeskog, Dougir Hamilton, Alex Ovechkin, Phillipp Grubauer, and many others. This free agent pool is shaping up to be one of the best in recent memory and we should see a lot of shakeup league-wide. When free agency opens on July 28th there will be a massive wave of signings and rumors regarding players. Watch for some desperate teams to overpay players at positions of need, like Hyman and Edmonton. Overall, there should be a lot of activity for both contenders and rebuilders alike as teams look to get better before the upcoming season.
