Looks like we're done for the off-season. I made a similar thread last year: https://hfboards.mandatory.com/threads/grade-the-off-season-so-far.2367265/
big swing and a miss on Vrbata there, everything else was pretty accurate though.
Notable acquisitions:
#68 Mike Hoffman- 25 goal scorer brought in for pennies on the dollar due to a controversy with his wife
#55 Bogdan Kiselevich-defensive dman brought in to shore up the team after the struggles of Alex Petrovic and Mark Pysyk
#34 Micheal Hutchinson- 3rd goalie replacing Hari Sateri
I give it a B. Hoffman's cost relative to his production was great, of course his ongoing issue is a concern but I don't see how that effects him putting the puck in the net. Kiselevich allows the overmatched Pysyk to return to #6 where he excelled, and Hutchinson is a very good #3 for when Lu's on IR.
No bad moves and on paper, 1st or 2nd WC team. Only doesn't get an A because I would've like a more proven dman and another top 6 wing, but as is the top 9 is excellent. Also can't give an A because the 4th line is a mess. Granted the 4th line plays the least so it won't kill the team, but it's really bad.
