Buckle Up, It's Going To Get Wild
Description
Free Agent week is here in the NHL and things are happening. The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired Matt Murray just minutes before we started recording today's podcast and that's exactly where Jason and Frank started the show. This is a big gamble for the Maple Leafs, who are desperate to build a roster that can go on a playoff run. That wasn't the only big piece of news that we got this evening as the Colorado Avalanche signed Valeri Nichuskin to a monster eight-year deal that carries a cap hit of $6.125 million. It's a wild contract and Frank and Jason talked about whether or not that will age well for the Avs.
From there, they pretty much went around the league and talked about every big-name free agent and trade option on the market. The next 48 hours are going to be hectic. Buckle up.
