Big names switched teams in a hurry when NHL free agency opened up at noon on Friday. Loui Eriksson bolted Boston for Vancouver; Milan Lucic left Los Angeles for Edmonton; Andrew Ladd ditched Chicago. Between landing Lucic — the first big free agent signing in Edmonton in some time — and trading Taylor Hall to New Jersey for defenceman Adam Larsson — the Oilers have continued to remake their team. "They have a pretty special young player there," Lucic told TSN. Lucic said he chose Edmonton because of the presence of Connor McDavid.
