It hasn't been a star-studded free-agency class in the NHL like we're used to seeing at this point in the offseason, but teams looking to fill distinct holes still have plenty of serviceable players to choose from.
As tends to be the case, the opening day or two of the free-agency cycle saw dozens of signings and players waiting no time to ink deals with their new teams. But things have slowed down considerably after that, as teams pinpoint the valuable free agents still available and figure out how they can make a deal work with their salary caps and current rosters.
