TSN, Sportsnet, ESPN post 'free agent trackers'
Snapshots —
As the July 1st start of the NHL's free agent period opens, TSN , Sporstnet , and ESPN have posted "free agent signing trackers." I did receive an email asking whether TSN's coverage of the July 1st festivities would be available online, and I do believe that they stream the coverage on TSN.ca, but whether the NHL Network will simulcast that on NHL.com, I don't know.
