Cyberpresse is reporting that Pouliot may be qualified before Monday, the Habs are still evaluating. I had forgotten - every year around draft time it's Matt Bugg's birthday. This year - it's today. Happy B-Day Mr. Bugg! Everyone's jumping in with ramblings today - gotta love the coverage. It's Dobber again, back a [...]

Chicago committed highway robbery. While Dale Tallon's fingerprints are all over this team, congrats to Stan Bowman for bending the new GM in Atlanta over the barrel. He not only gets rid of the contract of Dustin Byfuglien, but also Sopel's - and Ben Eager is up for a bit of a raise as [...]

Bugg here- Pat Quinn was addressing the Edmonton media with regards to being named Senior Hockey Advisor. He sounded none too happy about essentially being booted upstairs, but that's not all. He may have leaked Edmonton's pick. When commenting on the incoming crew of 19-year-olds, he specifically said there were three, and he'd worked with [...]

Phoenix has re-signed Taylor Pyatt for two years. I'm indifferent about that one. He's found a niche as a third liner. The Pens have signed d-man Ben Lovejoy to a three-year deal. Regarding Josh Harding - he's an underrated goaltender whom we haven't had the luxury of seeing because he's been buried [...]

So...anything happen while I was away? Lots of new trends in the NHL, trends you saw begin a year or perhaps two years ago are really coming to the forefront now. I alluded to goaltending a week or so ago, and how teams are/will start to draft only the top goalies and sign goalies [...]

The Devils are going to have to undergo a massive rebuild in a few years. Brodeur is 38, Arnott is 35, Langenbrunner is 35, Elias is 34, and Rolston is 37. Thankfully they have Parise, Zajac, and a pair of strong prospects in Tedenby and Josefson. This is just me speculating, but Tomas [...]
