That's an ugly A+ for the leafs., but it's pretty hard to argue against getting a player of that caliber even if it makes their RFA's harder to re-sign. They also haven't addressed their porous defence. B+
The Sens don't deserve an F for being stuck with a terrible hand. At least they've done something about the problems, so I give them a D.
The Oilers must always get an F. "No good" will also do very nicely.
I think our Flames did really well. The cap hit for Ryan's a bit high, the term for Neal is a bit long. Otherwise, they're solid moves that easily make the team better on paper. Without having done the math, it looks like the major upgrade to the forward corps should offset Hamilton's 17 goals from the back end, and Hanifin is a high-quality player. A-
