Capped: Free Agent Winners
Chris Pudsey
2015-07-02
P.A. Parenteau and Justin Williams were among the free agency bargains this year.
Day One of free agency has come and gone. Surprisingly, most general managers showed great restraint this year in their spending, not only in the cap dollars but also in regards to term. The longest and largest deal yesterday went to the Edmonton Oilers who handed out a six year deal to Andrej Sekera for a total of $33M. The largest cap hit spent yesterday went to the Detroit Red Wings, who shelled out $6M per year for three years to defenseman Mike Green. Honestly, both of those deals seem like very good signings compared to what we are used to seeing on the first day of Silly Season, as I like to call July 1st. It is hard to believe that Dave Bolland got a five year deal last year for $5.5M per season. Now that's silly.
