We also discuss overall free agency impressions based on Yzerman's work so far & whether this is now a playoff team (52:40), as well as projected lineups & hypothetical trades, more signings (Palat?), roster moves, & more (1:03:25)! Finally, a snapshot of the rest of the free agency insanity across the NHL, including Gaudreau, Trocheck, & other big names (1:09:00) - and lots, lots more!
