The best contract for every NHL team

As the free agency dust settles, rosters are starting to cement for the 2018-19 season. It's never too early to look ahead -- but in this case, we're reflecting on past moves of GMs.

We're also not including entry-level contracts for players like Auston Matthews and Mathew Barzal, because those are among the most team-friendly deals in all of professional sports.
