Today is the first day of the NHL’s free-agent frenzy, however a lot of the meat is already off the bone.

In addition, VGK blueliner Alex Pietrangelo has decided to step away from the NHL due to lingering injuries, missing at least the 2025-26 season.
Notable names such as Nikolaj Ehlers and Brock Boeser are among the top forwards who will test the open market.
PG Cougars
The Prince George Cougars made a pair of transactions on Monday.
