With the NHL Lockout having festered beyond reason, many have fallen into a routine of getting their hockey fix elsewhere.

The last right winger selected before Callahan came just three picks earlier, as the Philadelphia Flyers chose David …

Yes, some of Holmgren’s moves have been amazing, but he’s also a guy who has gotten this organization into some hot water with the salary cap and was forced to make deals that were head scratchers to say the least. If you enjoyed …
