All Things UFA today

Lots of action already with teams locking up recently acquired players. Free agency opens at 11am, but I expect some big trades versus lots of big signings. Won't repeat the extensions from all the other threads, but here's one I just saw.

VGK - extended Lauzon for 6 years @ $4.0m. They have $3.375m (pre-LTIR) of space left to fill 7 roster spots. Somebody will get traded.

My bad on VGK....just looked at PuckPedia and they already have plans to LTIR both Petro and Karlsson (wrist).

They can only go 10% over the cap in the off season and have to be cap compliant on opening night. Karlsson isn't going to be on LTIR all season. They will absolutely have to deal some more players and I would imagine someone is going to get Hertl or barby for basically nothing.

Panthers signing Gudas until he’s 108…ok, really, until he’s 42. Still. What a joke.

Yep, they always find a way! LOL. They reupped Luostarinen as well at $5.0 x 8 yrs. He's only 27, so that's more realistic.

Why would they get them for nothing?

Vegas can't take on salary. The return will be low level prospects or low level players making league minimum. Not literal nothing thus the qualifier "basically"

Hischier extends with New Jersey for $11.7 x 5 years. Good deal for NJ.

We are signing Ross Johnston from Anaheim

If so, that spells the end for Toro or Walker. Johnston will be a much better 4th line menace than either of those two.

He probably doesn’t even make the team.
Other than PIM’s, he doesn’t add much.
