The Salary Cap is finally going back up again in the NHL! That means it's time for the free market to do its thing. Bottom sixers and third-pairing defensemen getting a bag for their services, even if they're being quite overpaid for it. That's the price of free agency: It's a pay-to-play game, and if you don't have the stomach to open the vaults for these talents, you'll have to sit this out.
This video is devoted to the future buyer's remorse that will come for more than a few of these contracts. Hopefully it's not for your favorite team.
Corey Perry is the Buffalo Bills of players
4 appearances in a final in 5 years, 0 championships
At least he got a cup in Anaheim
@@samortmann5003 Perhaps his powers just weren't fully developed yet in his second season (lol
Used up all his luck on the first shot lol
@@kwizzehmaybe his 50-goal MVP season doomed him
That shit doesn't matter, he's got a cup snd is a first ballot hof.
Utah in just 6 months has already come to a sports entertainment complex agreement. Something that the coyotes and Arizona just could never come to grips with
Having an owner that cares worth a damn helps, speaking as someone that's from Arizona for reference.
@@crazyluigi6664 I hope the NHL returns to the Valley, but thank goodness Alex Meruelo won't be part of it.
Paul Maurice with that speech wearing that t-shirt….legendary
Goodbye Stamkos, thanks for giving me tons of great memories. Farewell Captain.
That one HURT. So so much.
It’s the end of an era 😢😢😢
I still can’t believe he’s gone :(
so weird seeing him and Marchy in a Preds Jersey from Avs/Ducks fan
We’ll take good care of him in Nashville!
It's a shame that you didn't mention Washington signing CapFriendly to a massive deal. That was one of the most ballsiest Free Agent signings that's causing outrage to the entire league.
Or that they are 14 mill Over the cap lol
Blame the NHL for hating CapFriendly.
I love how Boston’s goal horn was quietly played right after he said Toronto comes after Boston 😂
The Lightings offer to Stamkos was borderline insulting, glad he got a reasonable payday in Nashville.
8 mil per year is an overpay at this point in his career. I get he scored 40 goals, but half were on the power play and almost all goals were with Kucherov, the Art Ross winner and MVP runner up. I think 65 points in Nashville is reasonable but Guentzel is an improvement at this point.
That contact is gonna look nasty years 2, 3, and 4.
@@bodhithomas5684for 4 years no it’s not lmao
@@Tbiblaine23 nothing to do with term. He’s cooked 5 on 5 and gets his stats padded on the best powerplay with a top 5 dman and the best winger in the NHL. Not worth 8 mil
Why do I get the feeling that it'll be the move that kills the franchise's window?
Also, screw you Capitals ownership for killing off CapFriendly.
Even as a Caps fan I'll raise two my middle fingers up with you
why is no one blaming cap friendly for selling in the first place too
@@itscoleman85 They did great work, can't be mad for them getting paid for their work.
Puckpedia is next, sadly.
Blame the NHL. Still, as a Caps fan, I am sad.
Nashville turned salary cap off smh
Barry Trotz literally turned Nashville into Eggmanland during free agency (No offense, Death Egg, but Eggmanland was pure Hell on Sonic Unleashed).
but the trend seems to be First time Cup winners just saying they lead 5-3 since 2017-18
@@AutoArtemAuto Thanks for reminding me how painful that stage was in Unleashed.
best sonic game ngl
They implode like crazy and acquire some name players in order to achieve playoff success.
You have to love Paul Maurice and his enthusiasm! I thought his on Ice interviews during the game this past season were pure gold
THE CULTURE IS STILL DAMN GOOD

Please, never get rid of that intro.
- The Biggest Fan of Intros.
Idk about you, but I still prefer the old sportsball intro. The magic it holds is beautiful
I miss the “that’s my quarterback” line
@@ajg8722 That line is literally still in the intro
@@BGerbs66 guess he brought it back.
I'M CALLING BOTH GAMES!!
Bittersweet coming back to this one after we lost Johnny Hockey. RIP to him and Matthew.
Considering the Canes spent half a decade with two top Blue Lines, it's remarkable how well they did to replace Skjei & Pesce. Walker & Gostisbehere are perfect fits.
Love when tree talks hockey let's fuckin go
agrreed the best sport in my book
I have learned that sports doesn't care about player loyalty, it wants results. Perfect examples: Vegas and Tampa Bay.
Welcome to sportsball 2024.
Have a nice day.
That can be applied to anything in life.
its cutthorat world just saying
March was offered the same deal Nashville gave him by Vegas and marchy lied to the fabs
You just learned this?
@@americanloyalist4599 It was reported Habs didn't want to give him 5 years yesterday.
Last time I was this early, Arizona still had a hockey team.
THIS WEEK IN SPORTSPUCK 🔥🔥
THIS WEEK IN PUCKBALL 🔥🔥
THIS WEEK IN STICKPUCK 🔥🔥
I'm just happy Paul Maurice is a Stanley Cup Champion. Absolutely well deserved.
"Good God, we need a bigger cap!" 😂😂😂
Really sad to see Marchy go, and it sounds like Vegas didn't want to keep him like they wanted to get rid of flower. Wish him all the luck in Nashville
yeah its gonna be weird seeing Marchy and Stammer in different jerseys
Its okay, vegas prepared for this offseason last trade deadline with hanafin and hertl. Vegas will be fine but marchy does sting.
every Leafs segment this year should just be TD Garden
Toronto Dominion
@@cringle7413 it's ironic that the building that keeps shitting on them is named after a bank based in the same city as the leafs
makes it even more funnier
@@mohwe1007 script writers have truly outdone themselves this time
Farewell, Stamkos. Thank you for everything you did for the Lightning. Go get paid and go send another team on a championship run!
Hedman the new captain?
@@dnasty312Most likely. He’s been the A since Stamkos got the C.
@@dnasty312 He'd absolutely be my best bet. And get my vote. Longest tenured player on the Bolts, Conn Smythe and Norris winner, calm and collected player. He's the guy IMO.
Even with him wearing navy and yellow, he'll always be a Bolt to me. I think he'll elevate the Preds.
@@marcus813 Agreed.
Always love the nods to Ace Combat and F-Zero for the background music. Tree4prez
I clicked on this video faster then some of these teams signing the free agents.
We've all been waiting for this one. Let us feast.
To add to the saga of the Yotes, yesterday Meruelo signed off on some papers that relinquished any and all rights he has to the NHL franchise of the Yotes.
Now I wonder if the NHL is going to transfer the Coyotes' history to both the original Jets and Coyotes to Utah (and maybe Winnipeg for the original Jets) or if it's just going to fold entirely because of the shitshow at hand.
Goodbye Capfriendly, you will be missed
I am ready for the penguins to menatlly and emotionally hurt me again 😂
As a Preds fan, I'm excited for next season with our new acquisitions, but I am also afraid about the potential cap hell if this doesn't turn out well. It's cup or bust at this point.
Welcome to what we felt on 7/4/12. Hopefully not complete with needing a win on the last day of the season just for a 5-game stay in the playoffs 🤣
all i can say hope they make the most of it
Ok, lets be real, the new Anaheim logo is S-tier. Maybe it'll have a winning-effect on the team?
Nah it’s complete ass
Not with that d core they have 💀
I hope so as well also Greg Cronin showed promise as Head McTavish, Carlsson and Terry are the foundation
Wish they went back to the original Mighty Ducks Uni colors though
Matvei Michkov coming over is the best thing that’s happened to the Flyers in over a decade. I’m not expecting immediate success though. This will take some time, and the kid will have a lot of unfair pressure on him to immediately be the face of a long-suffering franchise. But there’s real hope and excitement again.
Yeah he's still 19. Flyers fans are expecting Kaprizov but he came over at age 23. I think he'll start to be a world-beater at 21
if he can get along with Torts who is a good coach also his last gig in the NHL
He's my pick for Calder.
If he listens to Tortorella, he will do well, he will over time become a great complete player.
Just stick to the process and you will be fine. Speaking of which as a Wild fan, would you want The Gus Bus (Fillip Gustafson) as your new netminder ?
Hadn’t seen the Panthers celebration yet. Paul Maurice does not disappoint!
Been waiting for this vid. Thanks for the always and continuous laughs, UTree.
13:54 The youngest center AT 32?! The Pens should be renamed as the Pensioners.
Not a Nashville fan, but can't wait for the 2024/25 Stamkos/Marchessault Revenge Tour.
I never thought I would see them reunite on an NHL club.
21:18 My favorite NHL rookie, Bennett Sennecke
Nashville printing money and I’m here for it
Nashville Predators hope they better become the Apex Predators of the Central with those FA signings.
The Central is gonna be really top heavy, so I feel like they should be at least top 3.
Extreme G and 1080 Snowboarding music? Based AF
Welcoming Utah Hockey Club is a surprise to watch, the 1st NHL relocation in 13 years!
As a Preds fan I’m thinking we’re gonna be less Honda Accord, more Acura Integra. (The “sporty, cooler Accord, but honestly still an Accord)
As a Sabres fan honestly Savoie was the easiest for us to lose. His injuries pushed him from possibly elite to top 6 and they haven't stopped. It's more or less the argument of he's elite but he's not going to last. Regardless they did what really was needed.
It isn't flashy, but aside from trading for someone if Quinn gets injured the bottom 6 was the problem. We couldn't have anyone we could truly say was reliable in the bottom 6 to shut down anyone's top line. That's what cost us games. Skinner also would've ended up a 9m healthy scratch under Ruff
Not shocked he gave Buffalo this treatment, tree doesn’t really pay that much attention outside of regurgitating Reddit takes for the most part. If he looked deeper he’d see that savoie is overrated prospect wise and that McLeod is the perfect add for buffalo
Please make a new Wings video, we need a jinx
Yeah the thing with vegas is that their replacements for Martinez and Stephenson include Hanafin and Hertl. The trade deadline line last year acted as a way to bolster the team for the playoffs while also looking ahead to what will occur during freee agency. KM is a great gm
The best case scenario for the DeBrusk signing would be for him to be the Bertuzzi to Pettersson's Naslund. I'm really hoping for him to be good at least, because the reason why Jake was so streaky in Boston is that he and the coaches the Bruins had did not mesh well together. Tocchet aligns with DeBrusk's wavelength way more on paper, and I hope it's the same in action.
He's a really good defensive player, though, and he always comes in clutch in the playoffs.
I actually like what Edmonton is doing this offseason.
If Henrique, Skinner, and Arvidsson pan out, we’re looking at them competing for the cup again next year.
What am I supposed to use now instead of Capfriendly? Puckpedia? Spotrac? *_ESPN?!_*
Love this format with the team logos in the corners. Great video flow. Thanks Tree!
11:20 Is he using the music from Death Rally in the background? I'm watching a hockey video and suddenly I get all nostalgic for MSDOS games.
The magic of the piss splashing tree!
Boston and Vancouver essentially exchanging players was something I did not see happening this offseason
You make Hockey fun to pay attention to. Also, it was a pleasant surprise to suddenly hear the soundtrack to Death Rally halfway through the vid. Keep it up!
Buffalo players leaving and winning a cup curse vs Correy perrys Cup curse, which one will come out on top?
The biggest loss this year was Cap Friendly.
And the Caps. Sigh.
This offseason is taking forever.
as a jackets fan… the term is long for monahan but if he can get gaudreau going and stay back in form, it’s an overpay but when you’re the blue jackets you kinda have to. its more about whether fantilli, lindstrom and/or sillinger develop properly.
Calgary for once did not overpay this summer… it’s amazing!
The Wild have to get through this coming season then they can actually pay players as those buyouts will finally be over, but they also have a good chunk of current players with deals coming up as well. Super Mid Season again here we come.
take care of Marchy, Nashville. Dude's a fucking legend
You're such a W for using Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere music.
As a Lightning fan I’m going to miss Steven Stamkos, he was the heart and soul of the team for so many years. I wish him the best of luck in Nashville and it would be great for his career if he not only put one team back on the top like he did with the Lightning but also get another team that’s never been there like the Predators.
Oilers got to game 7 and got even better. We got even better and all we need now really is a TOP 4D
Ace Combat 3 Electrosphere (one of my favorite games) soundtrack to the Avs part (my favorite team), awesome!
Stamkos: So that's it, after 16 years, "so long, good luck"?
Tampa: I don't recall saying good luck
“Canada continues to seethe”
What, you thought we wanted the Oilers to win?
What’s next? Thinking we want the Leafs to win?
Thank you for calling out Bylsma, it was painful watching those powerplays.
He's been coaching the Firebirds in the AHL since the team started playing and made the final in both years. I'm not stoked about firing Hakstol but I'm interested in seeing where Bylsma goes.
@@MrMaple-zt9ou My sentiment exactly. Seattle hired Bylsma because of what he's done with their AHL Team. Plus he is a former Stanley Cup Champion and Jack Adams Award Winner.
yeah and Bringing Jessica Campbell helps as well
I am not a hockey fan, but this is how I receive the news about my local team
you should its a great sport
Goodbye CapFriendly 😢
I know it is free agency, but there is one thing for the Rangers and Sharks you forgot to mention. Barclay Goodrow. Barclay Goodrow was bought out by the Rangers despite a surprising playoff run. He was grossly overpaid, and his performance in the regular season was worse. With Lindgren and Schneider expecting a new contract, we needed cap space to extend them both. Goodrow is definitely not worth $3.6 million for 6 years. After 3 years, the team had enough. The Rangers put him on waivers. Knowing what Goodrow brings, it was only a matter of time before someone claimed him. That team did. The San Jose Sharks claimed Barclay Goodrow. He is going back to the Sharks where it all started. We can't call the Sharks idiots desperate enough to get the Goodrow contract off our hands. He still is good and can definitely help with the Sharks depth (especially depth last season was a bunch of "Who the hell are these guys?"). It sucks to see Goodrow go, but it had to be done. The worst contract in Rangers history is officially off our hands. The Sharks will have him for 3 more years (which is the contract we SHOULD HAVE given Goodrow, not 6!!), and he should help with the Sharks. Although, I will admit how we handled it was wrong.
All hail the everlasting tree
I don't know why people are surprised Marner is still with the Leafs, if there were no rules it would obviously be time to move on. However with NMC/NTC and a 10+ million dollar contract I'm not sure how people expected that to get done.
Absolutely. Even without the NTC, you're not going to get any remotely worthwhile return for a player with a $10M cap hit who only has one year left on his deal. If anything, *Toronto* would have to pay for someone else to take him this year.
He'll be stuck in Toronto for one more year, then he'll be gone in free agency.
Tree's reactions to the Trenin, Monahan, And Stephenson contracts were pretty much my reactions.
the Utah hockey club + Utah Sports Commission is an interesting Rabbit Hole
I'm confused on what Kyle Dubas is trying to do for the Pens. Is he basically saying they're rebuilding, or he's doing a mostly meh job at keeping the team competitive? Or maybe a weird combination of the two?
Either way, I'm not looking forward to October.
Dubas' hands are tied. The Pens will never embrace a rebuild while Crosby and company are still around. Meanwhile, no one wants to get rid of them, because after the run they've had, the fans would want blood if they shipped them off.
The Pens aren't going anywhere until the core retires.
Not sure why everyone is so hard on the McLeod trade. Sure Savoie had high offensive potential, but he was jumped by multiple forwards drafted the same year or after him in the pipeline and his biggest concern for Savoie was that he was undersized and he has responded to that by being injured several times since being drafted. McLeod is a current NHLer in a spot the Sabres desperately needed and is only 23, a much more sure thing than Savoie
We know McLeod but savoie has potential even with that shoulder injury.
@@kasrasadrehashemi174 yeah but so does Kulich, Ostlund, Benson, Rosen and Helenius all of whom have potential but are much safer bets to make this team which is why they all jumped Savoie in the pipeline. Savoie isn’t going to make the Oilers roster this year and it’s only a maybe that he can piece together enough of a good AHL season to make it the following season and I have my doubts about a lot of his game outside of the offensive skill. People are giving that trade an F grade because they traded a prospect for an immediate need at center that also has some potential(McLeod wasn’t taking any ice time from McDavis or Leon no matter how well he played unlike the situation in Buffalo) while still having one of the best if not the best forward prospect group in the league still. We have plenty of potential and we’ve had potential for the past half decade and that has gotten us to the same spot we were in the previous half decade before that
Sean Walker is an underrated stud.
As a Kings fan I’m terrified to watch
irs a lesser evil how its similar to the former RW contract from the Broncos to Steelers yeah the PLD is contract is similar
As a Bruins fan, I'm just shocked we signed a Russian to a long-term deal. Boston City Hall usually scares them away.
Burtuzzi now played for 4 of the original 6.
Montreal and NYR only ones left to sign with.
Been waiting for this
A Man of culture i see
the unexpected boston-vancouver multiswap was slightly confusing haha. happy for drouin. and i kind of get what buffalo was doing with the savoie for mcleod trade, but i also don’t get it at all.
I still need that Sabres legacy of failure like a baby needs milk
Hey man Bylsma has been lights out for us these past few years us Kraken fans are cautiously optimistic
with that any departures in florida how much is it really considered a cup defense? half the team is gone.
Jeannot to skid row in LA ))))
Video starts at 1:15
Thank you San Jose for clearing out the BC center position for Letourneau to blossom in the NCAA. The Bruins look forward to seeing the Sharks in the 2027 Finals once he hits the NHL.
The Pens forgot to tell the Caps that they were gonna ride off into the sunset of irrelevancy together lol
God Tree its so nice to see the OG opening ❤❤❤
I'm looking forward to this season for NJ, I feel we definitely have tweaked our defense just gotta see how goaltending will unfold with Markstrom
Thank you for everything Marshy, i wasnt a fan of a vegas team that was barely hanging on in February to buy large at the deadline and this is why, it just wasn't worth it.
Tree what is your opinion of Paul skenes should the pirates lock him up or let him go first 5 games were incredible and if he keeps it up it could be the best recent pitcher in baseball
You missed the most important move for dallas. Ryan Suter is gone! Hallelujah!
And the Blues just picked him up lol
that just happened though 🤷
Unfortunately the stars signed Matt fucking Dumba
Fortunately that deal is one year at league minimum.
Tree not completely shitting on Philly and calling us “close” is the closest thing to a compliment we’ll ever get
Buffalo Sabres panics and overpay = everyone hates it
Buffalo Sabres signs depth and keeps the cap space for potential trades = everyone hates it
Extreme-G soundtrack. Exquisite taste as usual, Tree
19:19 - I honestly believe the Chandler Stephenson contract may be the worst of the entire free agency period, like even worse than the Lindholm deal. Combined with the montour contract, I think Seattle’s REALLY gonna regret this in a few years
I REALLY don't understand the move from Seattle. Broke the bank for a defenseman and assist-heavy center when you can't score? Where's the vision? Or is this Ron Francis' last flailing attempt to save his job?
Bring back the Arizona Coyotes!
Alternatively, give us a new franchise instead (preferably a new Phoenix Roadrunners).
