Just started up a new blog about the NHL, and probably wouldn't have started one if it wasn't for reading Banter over the past two years. It would mean a lot if any of you guys had feedback, thanks.

Congratulations on your incredible foresight.

Lindberg, the 21 year old 2010 Phoenix 2nd round draft pick who was acquired by NYR for Ethan Werek, has made a solid jump in production this year in the SEL for Skelleftea HC with 24 points (9 + 15) in 29 games played. This is interesting because Lindberg is posting a PPG rate of 0.83 currently, which translates to average 0.65 PPG in the NHL (or just over 50 points/82 games). This is not the gospel, but it shows the potential Lindberg could have if he continues to develop.

PLEASE

For all of you that are interested in fantasy football, SB Nation is debuting a new feature called the "War Room", which will allow you to speak with fantasy experts, to help out with creating your teams. The War Room opens tonight at 6:00 PM (EST), and will run seven days a week during draft time. Enjoy!

The top 10 are: 1. Pittsburgh Penguins 8/1 2. New York Rangers 9/1 3. Vancouver Canucks 11/1 4. Los Angeles Kings 12/1 5. Philadelphia Flyers 13/1 6. Chicago Blackhawks 14/1 7. Detroit Red Wings 15/1 8. Boston Bruins 16/1 9. St. Louis Blues 16/1 10. Minnesota Wild 18/1 The Nash deal made us move up from 12/1 to 9/1. And moved Columbus down from 75/1 to 100/1. I also thought it was crazy to see where the Wild ended up.

Can't get enough of that Rick Nash flavor? Now, you can get more of it with our old friend Jim and his radio partner (and BFF) Eddie on their online radio show

4 yr 30 mil? yikes. who do you think its from? as much as i want him, hopefully not us.

Local Pitt writer says they need to move Paul Martin to sign Parise/Suter and reup Crosby. If they are looking to free up cap, could probably get him for cheap. MCG- DannyG - Staal- Matin -MDZ -Erixson in any order, or even makes MDZ open for trade as long as (Sauer/Stralman/Bickle) can hold the 6th spot. Thoughts?
