Over the past several weeks we have taken a look at players from the perspective of the approaching playoffs. Who are the teams on good schedules? Who are the skaters you might want to drop because you can’t wait for them to turn it around? Who are the players who have new opportunities at the [...]

Given the sharply-rising cap, the pending Olympics, the likelihood of fiscal issues in both America and Canada over the coming years, and a lot more, these negotiations will have a lot to cover.
