Off-Season Review: Part 6: Candian Teams

Clearly when I said in alphabetical order by city I meant only the American teams, so now we get to the Canadian teams;

Calgary Flames

Main pick up: Todd Bertuzzi. Well enjoy dealing with him. And maybe if Kipper can keep it together (which he probably won't) they might make the playoffs.

Edmonton Oilers

Sent some players away for Eric Cole and Lubomir Visnovsky. Young talent like Gagner and Cogliano, and players who have been there FOREVER *cough* horcoff *cough* will maybe make the playoffs.

Montreal Canadiens

Gained Georges Laraque, tried to get Mats Sundin, got Lang and Tangauy. Lost Michael Ryder. Try saying Michael Ryder without a french accent. No really, give it a try.

Ottawa Senators

They lost long time Sen Redden, picked up old D-man Jason Smith and enforcer Jarkko Ruutu and added a bunch of depth players. Not much change though, still just ok.

Vancouver Canucks

They lost some key parts of their team the past several years in Naslund and Morrison. Also a loss of Linden to retirement. Replaced by .... *drum roll* KYLE WELLWOOD. Too bad he needs to lose some weight. And by some we all know i mean A LOT.

Toronto Maple Leafs

The MoLeafs lost Mr Captain of 10+ years, Mats Sundin. And really they didn't do much else except get a new coach. Also I know T comes before V but i figured I'd put the Leafs where they will end up at the end of the year.
