## Resource

NHL free agency dropped some eyebrow-raising deals despite a bloated cap, and three signings stand out as questionable: San Jose’s four-year, $8.25M pact with 32-year-old Jacob Trouba—whose fit is murky; Toronto’s three-year, $7M gamble on Sergei Bobrovsky, whose stats dipped despite Cup wins; and Washington’s four-year, $4.2M contract for Vincent Desharnais, a third-pair defenseman paid like a cornerstone. These moves hint at strategic missteps—or desperation—as teams gear up for a wild season.
