End-of-Year Update

TORONTO - It was a tight race for the worst team in hockey, but the Leafs finally "won" it in the end. With a team record of 30-46-6, the Leafs ended the year with 66 points. That was significantly worse than the Minnesota Wild, the second worst team in hockey, with 72 points (31-41-10). I'm sure that the Bruins are happy, as they get to choose from Larsson, RNH, or Sean Couturier. It's also not going to be a good year in the FA department for the Leafs as prospective franchise defenseman Luke Schenn is an RFA.

Leafs Get Stamkos at Draft

Stamkos will now be a teammate of Gunnarsson

MINNESOTA - At the NHL Draft today, Pavel Bure made a swift move, sending D Dion Phaneuf, a 2013 2nd round pick and a 2014 1st round pick to Tampa Bay for C Steven Stamkos. This comes the year that Stamkos becomes an RFA, so it may just be both sides trying to deal from a strength. Evgeni Malkin was a recent acquisition for the Tampa Bay Bolts, so Stamkos sort of became expendable. Steve Yzerman, NHL legend and Lightning GM said this about the trade: "Well, I'm trying to get a nice defenseman here, as I dealt Hedman to Pittsburgh in the Malkin deal." Stamkos, 21, is coming off of a disappointing season where he put 24 in the net and assisted on 32 others for 56 points.
