During his time with the Coyotes, Paul Bissonnette had one of the most entertaining Twitter feeds among NHL players despite his modest stats. He scaled back his social media presence in recent seasons while playing in the minors for the Los Angeles Kings organization.
However, Bissonnette's Twitter feed was hopping once again on Friday as NHL free agency opened, with a series of hilarious posts chronicling his search for a deal. While plenty of notable names signed big contracts, all Bissonnette, a free agent himself, could do is wait and tweet.
Phones fully charged. Still no calls but It's early. #StayPositive #NHLFreeagency

This is usually how it goes. All the big dogs go right away. Role players to follow. Not gonna panic. Stay the course. #NHLFreeagency

Called em back. Wasn't Jim. Telemarketer. Had a great conversation about what I could bring to the table. Always keep your options open.

Missed call from a Pennsylvania number. Looks like Pens want a repeat. I'll give it an hour to call back. Make Jim sweat a bit.

I still have the same number and email @brendanshanahan. Haven't changed it from 12 years. Unless you didn't back up with iCloud.

The biggest thing is making GM's feel like you have multiple offers. Never come off as desperate. Play with their emotions. #NHLFreeagency
