Noticed that I haven't posted in almost a year... well, here it goes.
1) Do you like the Brad Richards contract? How many points will he get? Will he be a big NYR bust?
2) Do you like the Erhoff contract?
3) Will Tim Connolly stay healthy in Toronto?
4) Erik Cole: Yay or Nay?
5) Who will will the Art Ross and the Richard Trophies next season?
6) Flyers: Pretenders or Contenders?
7) Tomas Vokoun: Just what Washington needed?
8) Which of the coaching changes that have taken place during the off season is your favourite?
9) Dany Heatley or Martin Havlat? Who won the deal?
10) Who got the steal of this years NHL Entry Draft?
** At the end of August, I will do my annual Trophy and Standings predictions. I'd just like to say, that the negative criticism is taken to heart by myself, and I post what I think. I'm not saying its definitely going to happen. I'm sick of people getting pissy at me because I ranked their team in a low seed. Two years ago, I put the Flyers in the 9th seed in the Eastern Conference, and I said it would be close for them. I was getting so much heat, I was contemplating not posting again. Then what happened? The Flyers squeaked into the playoffs on the last night of the regular season. What I'm getting at here is to give my predictions a chance, because a good 75% of them are EXTREMELY close. Thanks.**

1) No, league needs to stop this s***. 93 pts.2) No. Damn Pegula.3) Yes.4) Coming from MTL? Uhhh, nay.5) Art Ross: Sid. Rocket: Gaborik6) Contenders for sure.7) Of course. They can also use a little JBo (Get him off our hands. jokes.)8) Go Tallon!9) Not a fan of Heater. SJ.10) Philly with Couturier and New Jersey with Larsson.
1. Tired of this type of cap circumvention, not sure, yes. 2. Absolutely not. 3. Not likely 4. Nay. He sucks outside of Carolina. 5. Stamkos, Stamkos. 6. Well, they WERE contenders. Not so sure anymore. 7. Absolutely, and he needed them. 8. Dineen and Ramsey to FLA. 9. SJ. Heatley's production is starting to decline. 10. Preds with Josh Shalla.
1) Yes, 97pts, No 2) No, too long of a term. 3) Impossible to predict. 4) Indifferent, but I think he got overpaid. 5) Sid, Sid. 6) Pretenders. 7) Yes. 8) Tough to say, probably the Wild, Richards wasn't working out and they gave him time. 9) Sharks won by far. Got a player who has produced in the playoffs, and consistently scores big goals and unloaded a player notorious for pulling disappearing acts consistently. 10) Preds.
