Got some time on your hands? Why not build a roster tree for your favorite hockey team, much like Fear the Fin did here! Every player on the squad and where they came from. Bet you didn’t know that Pat Falloon actually turned into, in a roundabout way, Jamie McGinn!

It's looking like Bud Holloway, a Kings' prospect with some upside, may sign a deal to play in Sweden next season.
