What a day yesterday, eh?

Today is the first day of free agency, and someone scheduled it so that all of Canada could take the day off to watch for moves. Amazing!

Mike Richards and Chris Pronger: one of these players is a Hall of Fame inductee; one of these players is on the Arizona Coyotes roster; one of these players works for the NHL; one of these players can never play hockey again; one of these players may never play hockey

After a busy weekend there is no shortage of discussion topics.

A weekend filled with draft thrills isn't over yet!

With less than one week to the draft, teams are getting serious about trades and signings
