Breaking: One of the top free agent defensemen is off the market.

Many have called this year's free agent class one of the weakest in recent years, so when a big name comes off the board you can bet other teams will be scrambling to make up ground. That's exactly what happened this morning when the Edmonton Oilers locked up Andrej Sekera to a big 6 year contract worth a reported $33 million dollars. The deal with Sekera also includes a no-move clause likely a sign that the 29 year old defenseman is sick of being the speculation of trade rumors as he has been for the past two seasons. This now leaves players like Mike Green and Cody Franson in even higher demand with multiple teams reportedly courting both. We should expect someone to over pay in a major way for both men.
