Nice post \'fzusher\'. Thanks for your effort.

I would think that O\'Sullivan is in for a significant award from an arbitrator. L.A. has lots of room so it probably won\'t be an issue for them and they will accept. I just think that he is on the \'brink\' of a breakout.

I would love to see Dawes or Clowe in Vancouver. Vancouver has several smallish forwards already so probably Clowe would be the preference, personally, but Dawes does play bigger than his size.

Will be interesting to see what Detroit does. I wouldn\'t think that they would let Howard go.

Howard must have been choked when they signed Conklin last week.

I think Dawes will re-sign, he could even see top line minutes there.

surprised Vrana isnt signed up...thought he was high on this years call up list for NJD...saw him play in junior and he is pretty tough for a smaller guy (played basically a whole season injured for the mooseheads because they needed him) and he can adjitate while putting up points
