Tampa Bay signed goaltender Johan Holmqvist to a one-year deal. If he's not their backup, the team is in a lot of trouble next year.  Enjoy the May 2-4 weekend, to my fellow Canadians. "May" you have many a "2-4"... Those of you in America and elsewhere: "Ha Ha" (picture Nelson Munz's voice) Ed Belfour is looking for [...]

Leaf fans are getting a little carried away. Again. Anton Stralman? The next big thing? Even the local media is on board, calling him 80% of Nik Lidstrom. I have to laugh. He's a good prospect...not good enough to make THN's 20 best defensemen in their Future Watch issue, not good enough to crack Toronto's [...]

The Leafs signed Swedish defenseman Anton Stralman to a three-year entry-level contract. They had to sign him or he would go back into the draft. THN's Future Watch has him ranked as the sixth best Leaf prospect (not saying a lot) and he is still two to four years away from an NHL roster spot. [...]
