Overall it seems like there really was a lot of money thrown around to what amounts to average to depth players today. Not a single elite player signed and very few 1st line/pairing players. A team could have not signed anyone today and come out far better than some of the teams that did. That said there seemed to be a little more restraint by a lot of teams as there were quite a few deals in the 1-4 year range which softens the blow of overpaying somewhat. Baby steps I guess.
