Hosted by Kyle Knopp and Matthew Zator, The Hockey Writers Podcast is where your favourite THW contributors discuss the hottest topics around the NHL and hockey world, five days a week (Monday to Friday). In today’s episode, Kyle is joined by Kristy Flannery (New Jersey Devils) and Haynes Evans (Arizona Coyotes) to talk about the start of free agency and what it means for teams across the NHL. 
.
Kicking things off, the trio discusses their biggest surprises from the first five days of the open market and who the initial winners and losers are of the offseason so far. This leads the conversation into remaining unrestricted free agents and who our panel thinks is the best available player still up for grabs. Finally, the contributors discuss the 24 restricted free agents who filed for arbitration—and the notable ones who didn't—and what this means for them and their teams moving forward before Kristy gave a sneak peek into the Devils' development camp. Wrapping everything up, our crew shares their THW articles of the day.
