I don't think anyone would have thought that this year was going to be crazier than most. Steven Stamkos was the big fish, and he re-signed in Tampa just yesterday. However, there have been 2 pretty big trades that were pretty unexpected - Shea Weber and PK Subban were traded for each other and Taylor Hall and Adam Larsson were traded for each other, which have kicked this off in grand fashion.
This time of year is always fun - there are always a few big name players to be had, and it's like Christmas morning to see where they'll end up, especially if your favorite team gets involved in some deals!
