NHL Season

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

The NHL season will soon be beginning (well, soon enough. The TWC has a thread, why not us as well? More time for discussions...and constant trade updates), and I'd like to hear your thoughts on potential winners (season and Stanley Cup) and which players you think will shine this year.

Kozlov to the Islanders and Shanahan to the Rangers are two moves I'm particularily interested in, but I'm also looking out to see if New Jersey will make any blockbuster deals.

Your thoughts?

Disapointed in the Redwings off-season. They needed to get younger, speedier and grittier - especially up front - and all they've added is 35 yr old Greg Johnson, and Danny Markov on the blue line. Admittedly Markov is a good player, but adding another top 4 D-man was not our priority IMO.

Letting Shanny go was correct, he had the quietest 40 goal season in the history of the league (mainly through playing with Datsyuk) and disappeared (again) in the playoffs.

And don't even get me started on Hasek....
