Unasked Questions About Frogren

I am not one to let things go lightly. Despite the presence of three former first round drafts picks I can't cheer for the St. Louis Blues because of Sergio Momesso and Allan Bester's five-hole. I'll never cheer for another Canadian team in the

Question of the Day: Why Did Bettman Choose The Lightning's 4th Round Pick?

A little late today thanks to a late April Fools prank (totally legal) but here's the gist of it: The Leafs' just lost a 4th round pick that they picked up in a completely legal deal with the Lightning. The league and some commenters did not like
