When the eastern time zone clocks strike 3 p.m. this afternoon, the hockey world will know what teams are contenders and what teams have conceded the season. Who will make the biggest splash? Montreal? Ottawa? A surprise team like the Blackhawks? I don't know, but I know it will be fun.
What will the Rangers do? Paul Mara is out for two weeks, and they have some forward at depth. Do they bring in a defender or even two? Ron Gainsey? Nick Boyton? Brian Campbell?
How about the Islanders? With Mike Comrie signed to a new one-year, $4 million deal, he stays put. Ruslan Federtanko could be the next Fishstick signed. Do they move some other veterans for youth? Or do they feel they can still make a splash in the playoff picture?
The Devils keep on winning. What do they really need to be a better team? Honestly, any move that they do make will probably be really small. Maybe a little defense help, but even that isn't a necessary move.
I regret that I will be unable to blog until well after 3 today, which is really unfortunate because I was looking forward to it. I'll weigh in later on today when everything is done though.
Enjoy the craziness. Update your browsers frequently and I'll catch everyone later.
Covering the Rangers, Devils, Islanders and Sabres five years running along with the rest of the puckers!
