The Craig Anderson extension is puzzling and bad news for Robin Lehner owners. With Anderson making more than $4 million annually and Lehner pulling in $2.2 million, the Sens are dishing out a fair chunk of change for their goalies. Well, it's not a crazy amount, but when you factor in one will be sitting on the bench every night, you have to wonder if they could better use that cash to upgrade their roster elsewhere.

Ramblings on Devin Setoguchi, Aaron Ekblad and Jonathan Toews' wake surfboard. * We were in danger of living through the single slowest news day of the hockey year on Saturday, but that was before Calgary Flames general manager Brad Treliving heroically stepped up and signed Devin Setoguchi to a one-year, one-way, $750k contract.

Wondering aloud about the pre-season, shootouts and Alexander Steen

The actual NHL season is still pretty far away (October eighth) but hey at least we’ll soon have pre-season games! That might be the ultimate sign of a desperate poolie, the day you ask your buddies to do a preseason draft.
More often than not the silly season ignored by fans. I tend to take a different approach. Sure, you can’t really get a gauge on individual skillsets. Because certain players are working on different aspects of their game, you can’t judge the box score results the way you normally would. For instance, maybe Iginla is working his way back from a wrist injury and is intentionally passing more than usual. It will pull down his shot and goal totals artificially.
