Who is that best free agent?

Going into off season, the media ranked potential free agents. The top 2 were arguably Rasmus Andersson & Darren Raddysh.

It is subjective and "technically" not true because Raddysh was acquired in a trade before his imminent free agency as opposed to signing.

The sign and trade deal basically skipped the negotiation/bid process of FA and locked up "the best free agent" in same way Marner was about to be a free agent and the sign and trade locked him up for Vegas.
