I know the cup was just won a little over a week ago and the awards for 09/10 haven't even been handed out yet but with the free agent market opening in just about two weeks and lots of goings on occurring I figured I'd start this next season off with some news and notes from around the league.
New Jersey hires John Maclean as their new head coach. (Good choice IMO as the guy knows the organization and was an awesome player in his day and was always kind of a coach on the ice while playing.)
Jaraslav Halak has been traded to the Blues for next to nothing which means the Habs are either gonna rely solely on Carey Price or they intend on acquiring a bigger named goalie, whatever the intent I find it to be a good pick up for the Blues who now have a pretty decent goaltending core.
The Wings sign Bertuzzi to a 2 year extension.
The Bruins name Cam Neely their new President.
Rob Blake is set to announce his retirement tomorrow morning.
And more to come with the draft next week and free agency opening July 1.
Welcome to the off season folks, it should be a fun one. arty
