Now most of the way through the third day of free agency, and several teams have made substantial upgrades to their teams. Kevin Shattenkirk, Alexander Radulov and Karl Alzner, our top 3 UFAs have all signed long-term deals with new teams, and others have made an impact on the trade market or with their restricted free agents.
So who has had the best offseason so far? Dallas has added several big names with Radulov joining Ben Bishop, Marc Methot and Martin Hanzal, while the New York Islanders found a winger for John Tavares and got a big return for Travis Hamonic. Montreal has added a top free agent, acquired a top line winger and locked up their franchise goaltender, while the Vegas Golden Knights came into existence and acquired a boatload of draft picks.
Vote on who you think has had the best offseason so far, and make sure you leave your thoughts in the comments below. With still lots of trade talk to come it could easily change, but let us know who you think got out to the early lead.

I’d say stars
The Islanders also traded their first rounder to keep a player…can’t say it’s been positive with that.
Did anyone add a player as good as Kris Letang?
Penguins.
Watching the Caps implode has been fun, too.
Not the Kings
Dallas has.. New Coach, A Top DMan, solid Goalie, a nice center and solid RW
The Stars just for getting Bishop and Methot. I’m not sure how Hanzel fits in and I’m not a fan of the Radulov signing but they should all help get Dallas back to the playoffs.
Coyotes will be sneaky good next year
