Good to hear it's a great trade! I look forward to seeing what Subban can do for the Preds this season. Hope the best for Weber, too.
You got BOOST power!

Hmm, I guess Detroit locked up Helm, and signed Vanek and Nielsen. Not too bad, but it's not going to be enough to make up for losing Datsyuk.

If Vanek is healthy...

Same with Minnesota's notable acquisition of Eric Staal...

Poor Patrick Roy has resigned as head coach and VP of hockey operations for the Colorado Avalanche because he's not important enough and not given enough say over the team's affairs (apparently?).

I think this'll surprise people who care about the Avs, but it'll be good for the team in the long run.

I couldn't stand him as their coach. I'm ok with it.

Interest was staggeringly low last year.

If we're only going to have a handful of people, it would probably be better just to use the pool tools on one of the fantasy sites. It'll be less customized and personalized, but it'll also be less work.
