Summer Signings Surprise the NHL

Locked On NHL - Daily Podcast On The National Hockey League

The calendar may say late July but NHL teams have been busy in recent days with some big signings. The Philadelphia Flyers inked Travis Konecny to an eight-year extension worth an AAV of $8.75 million. Meanwhile, the Buffalo Sabres signed goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen to a new contract and the New York Islanders avoided arbitration by signing forward Oliver Wahlstrom to a one-year deal. We have our takes on these three moves.

Plus, Erica L. Ayala joins us for our bi-weekly Women's Hockey Spotlight as she interviews Allie Munroe.

And the Edmonton Oilers have hired Stan Bowman as their new GM shortly after he was reinstated by the NHL. Is this a wise hiring by the Oilers and has Bowman done enough to get back into the league's good graces?

All this and more on the Friday edition of the Locked On NHL Podcast with Rachel Donner and Gil Martin.
