The Steen deal is a steal.

wooow, did not expect getting both of Vanek and Filppula. Will have to make a couple of deals as a result, but that's a fun problem to have
some nice deals in there. Nothing too terrible at first glance.

Happy to add Letang to my top-pairing on at 3 year $5.8
Had two low-ball offers, one of them actually worked this time and we got Steen for 3 years at $2.5

We just expected him to get 10 offers so avoided him all together

That seemed to happen with both Letang and Steen (and Vlasic)
Foligno was the most popular guy by far.
Wild were happy to land Nielsen for a pretty affordable deal to round out our forwards and push Stajan out of the line up

Some cap friendly deals here. Really happy to bring Niskanen back. Hawks get a wicked deal on Petry. That Bobby Lou deal is nice as well.

Happy to add Justin Williams, quality veteran at a decent rate coming off a pretty good season.

Really happy to have landed Jumbo Joe. Didn't send in an offer until last night as I tried to get a forward by trading a dman but with the amount of quality dmen in free agency, most GMs wanted to try to land someone from one of the batches.
Overall, I think there are some really good deals in there. Nothing crazy like we usually see.

Happy to get Ron Hainsey on the cheap. Hope he has a few years left in him, if not he can be bought out down the road.

Happy to shore up the goalie position. Halak may even start ahead of Jones with the ratings being so similar. Overall most guys seem to be market value without any ridiculous overpayments as seen in prior years (See: Stempniak, Lee).

Mixed bag from a Hawks perspective on batch 1. Very pleased to get essentially a top pairing on defense with Vlasic and Petry, both at reasonable salaries. Disappointed that I missed on a couple of forwards and could not add a goalie. Great work by DTMBro to get the top ranked forward and dman, both on very good deals.

Weren't you the one last year that chided me for acquiring Fisher?
