We're more than a week removed since the free agent market opened, and hockey fans maybe expected more action in the NHL.

Andy Strickland may have a lead to recent quietness around the league. It appears GMs are trying but making trades is very difficult these days:

There's still a lot of offseason left and big names available through signing or trades.
