Free agency, a day of hope and dreams that usually ends with egregious over-payments and the blatant disregard for teams long term outlooks as half the league try to chase the (1) Stanley Cup that will be awarded in the upcoming season. It’s a day where you can sign the next Kyle Okposo, David Clarkson, David Bolland, James Neal, Brett Connolly, (okay i think you get the picture) and ride that wave of initial optimism right into the dark cloud forming around you. The old saying is – they pay you based on what you’ve already done, not what you’re going to do.
