“Obviously, the next chance to do that is coming up soon. The Leafs first pre-season games are on September 24—there’s two games that day, and I expect the very large training camp roster means each player will only be in one.

Today’s T25 was written by yours truly on his birthday no less. So to make up for the birthday present you forgot to get me, smh, head on over after 8am to discuss with us about the forward or defenseman I profiled. No spoilers.

The rosters for the Traverse City Prospect Tournament have been trickling in. We have the roster for Dallas that was published a few days ago. Yesterday we got the roster for the Columbus Blue Jackets. [NHL dot com]

And finally, the Carolina Hurricanes hired some people. salary cap expert Earl Schwartz announced earlier in the summer that he was hired away from the public domain.

That year was the only American win over Canada in the past six cycles.
