I was actually going to link to HockeyBuzz - which is a sentence I never thought I'd write - because Travis Yost has been doing some phenomenal work with the Senators' finances.

Here's hoping Yost gets picked up somewhere that isn't known for being the pit of hockey writing.

Anyways, here're some links.
