    If I gotta rank these:

    Good:
    Tampa
    Florida
    Montreal

    Neutral:
    Toronto

    Bad:
    Buffalo
    Ottawa
    Detroit
    Boston

    That Jeannot signing is one of the worst I’ve seen in a while. Toronto did what it could with a cap crunch. Tampa and Florida got a lot done with little wiggle room. Ottawa shed a lot of roster talent without much coming back. Buffalo and Detroit seem to have been napping all day. Montreal just there vibing, doing some smart little moves.

    Great opportunity for Petry. Gets to play for a contender and could rebuild his value
