Hot Links: Tuesday, July 2

Good morning! Happy belated questionable national holiday weekend! Also UFA Day. I won’t say happy - because, well, are you? - but free agency is in full swing and the Oilers made themselves a handful of moves on the NHL’s Dumbest Day. As such, yesterday’s news will feature heavily in today’s links.

Other than that? I’ve gotta get ready for work. See y’all tomorrow.
