You can find a comprehensive list of this year's top free agents and their destinations here. It's still very early in the offseason, and some of the moves made on Day 1 of free agency may just be initial transactions for a … [Read more...] about NHL Free Agency 2018 winners and losers: Maple Leafs and Flyers make a splash on Day 1, Isles lose big
