It didn’t take Chris Kreider long to find a new home. After his contract was terminated by the Anaheim Ducks, Kreider signed a one-year contract with the Montreal Canadiens.

Makar and the Avalanche have agreed to an eight-year extension with a $20.4 million AAV – the largest contract in NHL history by AAV. Considering [...]
Continuing with Bubble Keeper Week, here are five more forwards that I have the option of keeping at a certain price in one of my leagues.
