Ah yes, July 1. Canada Day. The day the New York Mets pay Bobby Bonilla an exorbitant amount of money for not playing. And the start of the NHL's free agency frenzy. Not long after the clock struck 12p.m. ET deals were announced at a rapid pace. Some teams went big,like the Montreal Canadiens hello, first offer sheet since 2013! Other teams, such as the Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers and Carolina Hurricanes, made moves that have been analyzed to deathsince the NHL draft ended. MORE FREE AGENCY: How this will all play out is anyone's gue s. Will the signings be worthwhile? No one knows. Here's the biggest winners, losers and a few that are still to be decided after day one of free agency. Kolton Miller Jersey NHL free agencywinners, losers Winner: Sebastian Aho Whether the Carolina Hurricanesmatch the Montreal Canadiens offer sheet Sebastian Aho is going to get paid, and paid well, especially in his first year. With the ink dried on the deal, the young superstar will reportedly earn $21 million in the first year. Considering there may be a labor dispute in 2020, this was set-up perfectly for the 21-year-old forward. Sebastian Aho will be owed more than $21M in the first calendar year, per sources. Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) Winner: Twitter Thank goodne s forTwitter. Aside from all the signings being announced, the social media platform became a hotbed for insight, teammate reaction and, of course, snark. As soon as the offer sheet to Aho was announced, the Carolina Hurricanes and Montreal Canadiens began to throw shadeat each other. "We all get along, but we all have a competitive edge. I'm responsible for the Montreal Canadiens and not other teams. I owe it to the Canadiens and Geoff Molson." - Marc Bergevin on his relationship with other GMs Canadiens Montral (@CanadiensMTL) Will we match the offer sheet for Sebastian Aho? Carolina Hurricanes (@NHLCanes) "When you make an offer like that, we saw a vulnerable position. The offer, Maxx Crosby Jersey with the compensation and the youngsters we have, we realized that it was the best chance we had to get the player." - Marc Bergevin Canadiens Montral (@CanadiensMTL) Then Paul Bi sonnette tweeted avideo. The ex-NHLer appears to have been spending Canada Day with Tyson Barrie(warning: expletive language), who was traded in the afternoon from the Colorado Avalancheto the Toronto Maple Leafs. Thats for ruining my lunch date . Paul Bi sonnette (@BizNasty2point0) It wasn't nece sarily a Twitter thing but the Minnesota Wild promoted this reptilian quote that just made everyone stop for a moment. "I told him when I was talking to him that he's like a lizard, the way a lizard takes his tongue and sticks it as far as it does and retrieves what it was trying to do." GM Paul Fenton on Minnesota Wild (@mnwild) And to cap off the night, Brian Boyle gave us all the feels. What new city should we go to pal? Brian Boyle (@BriBrows22) Winner: Rebuilds Already housing the No. 2 pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, a perennial Vezina Trophy contender, a No. 1 center, a future star and the rights to a top defenseman, Desmond Trufant Jersey the New York Rangers went big and signed Artemi Panarin to a seven-year contract. Well, that rebuild went by real quick. First time putting on the Blueshirt for ! # New York Rangers (@NYRangers) Winner: Kyle Dubas Never doubt Kyle Dubas ever. The 33-year-old Maple Leafs GM pulled off two masterful trades on Monday as he shed a disgruntled defenseman in Nikita Zaitsev, created to sign the Leafs restricted free agents although let's be realistic, that should all go to Mitch Marner and . This comes after trading Patrick Marleau at the draft and e sentially swapping him with hometown kid, and unrestricted free agent,Jason Spezza. NHL free agency 2019: | TBD: Kenyan Drake Jersey Maple Leafs defense The moves are great on paper but as always with Toronto\_()_/. TBD: Senators It looks like players like to play for D.J. Smith. The new Ottawa Senators coach added from his old team in Toronto. He also gained former Maple Leafs defensemanZaitsev. Now the big question is whether or not Smith can meld this group of vets and youngsters to finally take Ottawa out of the doldrums of the Eastern Conference basement. Loser: Connor McDavid You have to feel for the guy. Coming off a brutal-looking knee injury, and while yes, it's only the startof free agency, the Edmonton Oilers have done nothing to bolster their offense around the superstar. They did sign Markus Granlund, although his22 points last season is not really the offensive spark McDavid needs. New general managerKen Holland may not have a ton of cap space to work with but that hasn't stopped other GM's from making moves and let's be realistic, he has the biggest selling point to entice someone to Edmonton two words, Connor McDavid. Loser: Montreal Canadiens The Canadiens get credit for going big and pulling the trigger on the with Aho. It was a doozy that sent the NHL on itshead. However, they're not getting the young Finnish superstar and Marc Bergevin could not sway Matt Duchene to play for his childhood team. So for now, the Canadiens GM is empty-handed. Montreal needs offense as they finished 2018-19 in the middle of the pack in GF/G (3.00) and a Charles Woodson Jersey paltry, disappointing 13.2% on the power play. Carey Price and Shea Weber are not getting any younger and it's time they got some help up front to get that much deserved Stanley Cup.
