The offseason is here, and with it comes everyone's favorite part of the summer: Trades and signings involving players whose names you kinda recognize.

Now, the thing about a transaction in hockey is this: It's impossible to know whether it was good or not unless someone comes along and grades it. Fortunately, I am here to be the grader, ultimate arbiter of whether the team you like, or don't like, succeeded spectacularly or failed miserably. One thing we can all agree on? Deals are the best because we love to consider them.

Please keep in mind this will be updated throughout the summer, so check back regularly. Thank you.

Without further ado, let's get to the grades:
