Rink Roundtable: Free Agency

We’re also excited to announce some additions to the Rink family – please welcome our two newest contributors, Kalilu and Andrew! Keep an eye out for more from them going forward.

Q1: What are your initial thoughts to the moves made by the Caps on Day 1 of free agency – the trade for Joel Edmundson and the free agent signing of Max Pacioretty?

Kalilu: I really don’t have any strong opinions on Edmundson as a player, especially given that Montreal’s retaining 50% on his deal. The logjam it creates on the blueline is what concerns me, with Martin Fehervary signing an extension and Alexander Alexeyev beginning the first season of his two-year contract, which is a one-way deal.
