As things wound down on Wednesday’s NHL “Free Agent Frenzy” on TSN, a seven-hour marathon of live TV that goes by in a flash, I could sense the end arriving. People pack up anxiously, shouting “goodbye” and “have a good summer.” Some rush to catch flights, others just look to escape. How it all might play out in the season ahead consumed me on the ride home. It’s hard to believe Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl can be better, though their improvement will be measured by playoff wins. Dave Poulin is a former NHL player, executive and TSN hockey analyst based in Toronto.
