Barry Trotz was tired after a busy week of putting his stamp on the Nashville Predators by remaking the roster through some important comings and goings.
On what was technically his first day on the job as general manager, Trotz signed top two-way center and 2019 playoff MVP Ryan O'Reilly, rugged Stanley Cup-winning defenseman Luke Schenn and winger Gustav Nyquist who has something to prove. Those moves, even after trading Ryan Johansen and buying out Matt Duchene earlier in the week, made Nashville one of the big winners in NHL free agency.
The deal doesn't go into effect until the 2024-25 season, but Ilya Sorokin received $66 million over the following eight years to continue backstopping the New York Islanders. “He brings a lot of size to the group he’s in, but more importantly, he’s been very effective playing against very, very tough competition in New Jersey and going back to Colorado,” Penguins GM Kyle Dubas said. “We feel that’ll help.”
One- and two-year deals — many with performance-based incentive bonuses — were far more popular, given the limited money available around the league and the expectation the salary cap is going up significantly next summer.Other than the Edmonton Oilers, who are in win-now mode, it's a rough time for the Calgary Flames, Winnipeg Jets and Vancouver Canucks.
