- Hudler stealing the show with his 'no shoes' speech.
- Treliving & Co stealing the show at the draft with acquisitions of Dougie Hamilton
- Signing Michael Frolik from FA for much needed depth
- Signing both contracts to very good AAV & term
- Signing our RFA & creating depth for competition for training camp.
- Hearing that we can expect some news of the arena mega-project soon.
- Signing Gio & Ferland which are both believed to be soon.
If I forgot anything let me know! This was a good offseason and too many to think of.

It's been a great offseason for sure, but not sure about your last bullet.
- how do you know these have happened just not announced
- the Ferland signing is about as automatic as it gets (when it occurs) so I doubt it will be list worthy
- as for Gio, there is no doubt his value to the team, but unless the Flames somehow get him to go 4 years or less, or unless Gio is willing to take a less than market AAV over a long term, I'm pretty skeptical that deal will be one that doesn't hurt us more than help us long term.
