2016 NHL Free Agency: Recap of the Day 1 frenzy

Who went where yesterday

Well over $400million was dealt yesterday as the 2016 NHL Free Agency window opened at noon. The marquee names were quick to go in the first couple of hours, but details on additional signings kept coming in throughout the rest of the day as teams looked to fill out rosters, add depth and sign backups.

The Buffalo Sabres went big right in the first hour, signing winger Kyle Okposo for 7 years, $42M. Buffalo was involved in talks for backup goalie Jeff Zatkoff who played for the Penguins last season, but he somewhat controversially led Tim Murray on before signing for the Kings.
