Free Agency 2019: Around The League


First a few late developments on the RFA front -- Justin Bailey caved and signed, but Ian McCoshen got an offer from Montreal (1.735M) that would give me a third-rounder. I'm going to go ahead and take it since I'm getting kinda tight against the cap and don't really have a role for him.

Last, as I was simming to the next season, Minnesota came in with $3.5M on Haydn Fleury, which would be second round compensation. I like Fleury, but I technically don't have the cap space to match anyway, and even if I did, $3.5M for a guy to top-pair in the minors is steep, so -- with some regrets -- I let Fleury walk.
