A quiet week, even from those who were playing. We did see Nielsen get two assists in the WHL's first day back in action. Also a rare Pierre Engvall goal! The players at the juniors are busy, with Timashov leading on opening day. Lots more to be played. The NCAA and CHL teams are back into it this week, and we're nearing the CHL trade deadlines so more players could be on the move. Rumours still go on about Timashov being moved out of Quebec. Who's buyin? Who's selling?
