Two million page views and growing... Brendan Morrison underwent successful hernia surgery on June 7. He is the NHL's reigning iron man and he could finally play pain-free this year, for the first time in two years. If so, I think he could get back up into the 60s. There are some suggestions going around the media [...]
The Habs have dished off their headache, Sergei Samsonov to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for Jassen Cullimore and Tony Salmelainen.
Several sources indicate that the Leafs have signed Simon Gamache. No further details, but I would assume it is a two-way deal and this is a minor deal. However, if I were GM (Dobber for GM!), I would insist that he plays 18 minutes a game for 10 games on the top line. I would [...]

Florida gave Bryan Allen a five year deal for nearly three million per year. He's the one defensive, hard hitting rearguard on a team seemingly full of offensive ones. Still...that's a lot of coin. The Boston Bruins have re-signed rearguard Andrew Alberts. He should be good for 140 PIMs this season. After playing in the Czech [...]
"How to Start a Keeper League" Version #4 is (finally) up. Click the 'starting a pool' link to check it out.
