Off-Season Review: Part 3

So where did we leave off .. ah yes with the

Los Angeles Kings

So they lost their most well known and probably best player in Rob Blake to the Sharks, but they have JACK JOHNSON!! (too bad he is out 3-4months) and Kopitar and Frolov but none of them are ready to lead their team to the finals or even the playoffs.

Minnesota Wild

I've always been confused as to what a "Wild" really is and perhaps that is why no one cares about them. Little known fact for everyone, Owen Nolan is still in the league and is playing for the Wild, talk about a BIG off season move.

Nashville Predators

Signed some defence to multiyear deals, got rid of a goalie and some other old guys. Not too much to say about them, maybe they will show up on the radar come trade deadline time.

New Jersey Devils

This off-season was a call back to the devils of the good ol' days when Scott Stevens ruled the blueline at whatever their old rink was. Rolston and Holik were brought back and maybe this will mean lots of use of the new rink come spring time.

New York Islanders

Streit was added from Montreal which should help their goalie for the next 5 billion years if he makes it through the season. Also, they got Doug Weight to play with his old friend Bill Guerin and maybe they can score, but they aren't fooling anyone, they're going nowhere.
