Free agency has now come to a close. All free agents will be going with our in season FA rules moving forward. I will be updating all team pages tonight to reflect current cap numbers now that Bird FA's have signed.

Matkovic could be a quality late pickup.

It looks like Pelle Larsson was signed and bought out several times last year but I'm happy to give him the last spot on my roster. I really like his game and think he has a chance to break out this year.

Anything I’ve received up until now that is Bird cap space dependent will be updated tonight. I know I have two trades still to update.

Other than that consider Bird FAs signed.
