Hamilton makes big splash in free agency.

GM Keith Primeau & President Steve Staios announced multiple top level signings to the team

On the back end, the big pickup is Matt Dumba. Signed to 6 year contract at $5.7M. Last season he picked up 51 points in 79 games and has earned at least 50 points in 4 of the last 5 seasons

The team also added Neal Pionk as a depth move.

But the offense has seen some big additions.

Centers Nathan MacKinnon & Alex Wennberg gives the team a deadly Center depth with Kadri, Johnson & Paquette. A trade is possible.

Wingers Adam Erne & Valteri Nichushkin gives the secondary the physicality & scoring it needs.

More free agent news to come!
