a few small notes...

just some small notes to pass on...

the islanders sign their 2003, first round pick, robert nilsson, to a 3 year, entry level deal...nilsson is the son of former nhl player kent nilsson, who had 264 goals and 686 points in 553 career games with the flames, north stars, and oilers...

while we're talking about former players sons, the oilers acquired the son, of hall of famer peter stasny, yan stasny, in a deal with the boston bruins... edmonton sent a fourth rounder in return...stasny was then signed to a 2 year deal...

the capitals signed defenseman bryan muir, whom they acquired earlier this month, in a deal with the kings...

and, reportedly, pavel datysuk has rejected the latest offer from the red wings, which is a huge blow for them...detroit has offered a 5 year deal, while datysuk wants less. if no contract is signed soon, it is believed datysuk will play in russia this year.

also, a we have opened a fantasy football league, to go with our fantasy hockey.
