Draft List is updated again – cap hit issue fixed, and goalies fixed.

The DobberHockey Draft List is updated now and posted. Includes BAB column and salary/cap hit.

Tim Kennedy is reportedly close to signing with the Rangers, according to beat-writer Andrew Gross. I could name 20 teams that would be a better fit for him. He’ll have to earn a top six spot – and it would be at the expense of Mats Zucarello-Aasen. I’ll put the analysis on this one when it becomes official.

Phoenix has re-signed Lee Stempniak to a two-year contract, according to the Arizona Republic. As mentioned in yesterday’s article, Radim Vrbata stands to lose the most power-play time as a result of this move. It also hurts Brett McLean and Mikkel Boedker in terms of cracking the roster this year, though I think McLean deserves a spot. There definitely will not be room for both. I’ll fire up a full analysis later.

Some news that our forum members dug up –

The Oilers have signed Sam Gagner to a two-year deal. Now there, my friend, is a guy who could explode this season. His wingers just upgraded from me on the left wing and you on the right wing…to Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle. Um….
