PostedCOLON Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:55 pm
1. COL (Last Week: #2) - Kessel shuffled out for a bigger impact forward in Pominville - gets two assets as well.
2. NJD (Last Week: #1) - Quiet week. Rumblings of a bigger move sometime soon.
3. LAK (Last week: #4) - Huge trade to get Big Buff and poor-man's Schenn. If Seguin breaks out, possibly 1st overall...
4. TOR (Last week: #5) - Quietly moving up with each trade - deep, talented, with assets to bear. Don't underrate his move to get Brassard...
5. TBL (Last week: #3) - Like NJD, quiet week.
6. CHI (Last week: #6) - It takes all the running you can do to stay in the same place. Rumours of being a Red Queen won't go away)
7. MTL (Last week: #9) - Slowly moving up. Very underrated team. No offensive stars, but lots of bangers, grinders, and periphs.
8. STL (Last week: #7) - Didn't drop because he made a bad move;dropped because of the recent activity at the top.
9. CLB (Last week: #12) - Rumours of Crosby coming back earlier than anticipated will provide a Mentos and Carbonated boost.
10. WSH (Last week: #10) - Quiet week for WSH. Holds interesting assets, but running out of time to fix his goaltending.
11. PHI (Last week: #19) - Biggest jump on the list. Picks up Carlson - now if only he could fix that goaltending...
12. BOS (Last week: #8) - Quiet week. Competitive team, but no one knows what card he holds...
13. OTT (Last week: #11) - Rumours of Hemsky's imminent move has been imminent for a month now!
14. SJS (Last week: #14) - New GM, old blood. GM promises more proactiveness in the trading market, but needs surround his pieces with better support players.
15. MIN (Last week: #13) - Another quiet week for MIN. Drops due to his Turris problem - could rise if Turris comes back and breaks out.
16. BUF (Last week: #13) - Picks up Lupul, only loses one peripheral (and replaceable winger) and two well-regarded prospects.
17. ANA (Last week: #15) - Loses guarantees for maybes. Bright future - and Doughty's back!
18. NYI (Last week: #17) - A moment of silence will be held for Mr. Underwood as he tragically lost his testicles sometime last year.
19. EDM (Last week: #18) - Only losing ground due to questions about Connolly's health.
20. NYR (Last week: #20) - If Scheifele makes the team, this team can only rise. A dark horse to contend this year. Keep your eye on this potential beast of the East.
21. NSH (Last week: #21) - All's quiet on the Eastern front. Rumours of imminent Western invasion won't go away. On vacation.
22. FLA (Last week: #23) - Some major question marks. Will the goaltending hold? Will the defense improve? Will Stastny bounce back?
23. WPG (Last week: #27) - Some upswing can be expected here. Dark horse. Keep your eye on Compost Heap of the Great White North.
24. PIT (Last week: #22) - Loaded with talent and upside. But will need to do more if tanking's a priority.
25. DAL (Last week: #26) - Hodgson on the second line after a quiet preseason. If he produces, watch out.
26. VAN (Last week: #24) - Trades away his first-born, his wife, his dignity for Brayden-Fuckin'-Schenn. Upside everywhere. Will contend as soon as next year.
27. CGY (Last week: #28) - *angrily yells and mutters in French*
28. CAR (Last week: #29) - Hurricane Paul. And don't you ever forget it.
29. PHX (Last week: #25) - Apparently suffering from some post-partum depression.
30. DET (Last week: #30) - Patience is the only thing for the DET GM to keep in mind.
2. NJD (Last Week: #1) - Quiet week. Rumblings of a bigger move sometime soon.
