2020-2021 FREE AGENCY PREVIEW

General Manager Scott Barney addressed the Media prior to the start of the free agency frenzy, the first for the expansion team

"I think it's important that, despite the ability of ours to spend now on all these exciting contracts and players, we also have to mindful of the future and not totally sacrifice the future for the now. In one of the deepest free agency pools, except perhaps at defense, it can be easy to overspend"

Scott isn't exaggerating; with a forward group that includes Taylor Hall, Gabriel Landeskog, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins & Brendan Gallagy, along with goalies Tukka Rask, Brayden Holtby, Frederik Andersen & Jacob Markstrom, it can be easy to be lured into making a big splash early. That's something Scott must manage heading into the franchise's first free agency period
