Canada Day had it all on Wednesday - nearly $1 billion doled out in player contracts to open free agency, significant trades, tantalizing big names available on the trade market and yes, fireworks.
Thirty three of our Top 50 free agents were signed. And as NHL free agency rolls into Day 2 and beyond into the summer, a few big names remain unsigned.
