The list includes everything from late bloomers to early risers, deep threats to possession receivers, and slot role specialists to players who excel near the sidelines.
The criteria are based on last year’s statistics, versatility, leadership and morale, success in ...
Two championships in two years, after losing to Boston three years ago.

New Jersey Devils Acquire Jason Arnott, Dan Hamhuis Sent to Philadelphia Flyers
Posted: 19th June 2010 by Todd Cordell in NHL
I have two pretty big trades to announce today, feel free to comment with your thoughts.
Devils send:
F Matt Halischuk
Second round pick in 2011
Predators send:
F Jason Arnott
Personally, I don't really like this deal, Arnott is still a good player, but his best days are behind him and his salary is a bit too high for my liking.
Flyers send:
D Ryan Parent

The Nashville Predators have pulled off two deals this afternoon, sending centre Jason Arnott to the New Jersey Devils in return for Matt Halischuk and a second-round draft choice in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft and sending the rights to defenseman Dan Hamhuis and a conditional seventh-round draft choice in 2011 to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for defenseman Ryan Parent.
Hamhuis, who was widely expected to test the free agent ...
After some concerned surfaced yesterday about his sore foot, A.J. Burnett was cleared to start Monday in Arizona after a problem-free bullpen session this afternoon.
“It was a good day today,” Burnett said. “It didn’t bother me. I was worried yesterday and the day after my start, but not today. I’ll be good to go for Monday.” ... It feels “night and day different” since Thursday. Girardi said he’s confident ...

Because the game is ...

Posted: 19th June 2010 by Bryan Thiel in NHL
While you can say there's no rest for the wicked, it wasn't the New Jersey Devils making (multiple) waves today. It was the Nashville Predators.
Just hours after trading away the rights to defenseman Dan Hamhuis, the Nashville Predators continued to shake things up, trading away their captain Jason Arnott.
One might wonder what general manager David Poile is up to; especially the Predators fans describing this afternoon as "stunning", "confusing" and ...
After thinking about the deal for a couple days, I've finally decided what I think for both teams on this deal, so I decided to make this trade my next article. I'm hoping to be able to analyze this deal for both sides, and hopefully, you guys agree with my thoughts, so here we go. Why is it good for the Sacramento Kings? The Kings have had ...
Vancouver Canucks and Other Thoughts Percolating on the Back Burner

I guess signing Aaron Rome to a new contract is good from a depth position, but is he really in the mix for a number six man, and what does that say about the ‘Nucks defense?
Interesting that Montreal chose Jaroslav Halak over Carey Price after the performance Halak displayed during the playoffs.
Rumours are that they would not have been able to afford him and at least got something back from ...
