In honor of free agency opening this week we are going to spend a little time looking at past signings. The focus is going to be a bit more historical, just to provide some context, though we will likely return to the player movement in a future article. Players who sign free agent deals over [...]
This week we are wrapping up our playoff review and finally are on to the last four teams, each of the conference finalists.
