I cannot believe it is July already. To quote the great Darren Pang, “Holy jumpin’!”
Happy Canada Day to our friends north of the border. Ordinarily, this is day one of a brand new NHL calendar year, day one of free agency. And then all the Canadian writers scurry off to their cottages on Lake Louise to drink margaritas.
This year, however, it is just another business day in the previous NHL season; those final days of the NHL calendar year, the days leading up to the draft. There is always so much intrigue and gossip about what will happen on the draft floor, but not nearly as often does it come to fruition.
