Many of the top free agents were signed — several to large-money deals — and a few significant trades also were made, most notably the Pittsburgh Penguins’ acquisition of first-line right winger Phil Kessel from the Toronto Maple Leafs.
After all that, there are still a lot of good free agents still unsigned, as well as many of the top restricted free agents who now can sign an offer sheet with a rival club.
