[I_am_Belak_2]

Steve Begin should be on Calgary. He signed yesterday and I don't believe he was sent down.

[chilly666]

these lists were submitted yesterday, so his contract may not have been approved before this list was made

[chilly666]

Jaden Schwartz has been recalled by Blues...Chris Porter re-assigned to Peoria. Porter listed due to being on waivers as is Bobby Butler who was also sent down to Albany in favor of Mattias Tedenby.

[BROKEN*ORBITAL]

Out of all 30 teams, The Boston Bruins were the only team listed there that had every single player's name hyperlinked to a fight card.

Good for the B's. Keep the spirit alive.

I'm wondering why Tuukka Rask's name is hyperlinked. He hasn't been in a fight.

most (if not all) drafted players are put in the system so they will be linked if done properly

[blackngold]

I can't believe Patrick Bordeleau FINALLY made the Avs.

Even during the 80's and 90's there were exceptions...

All it really means is the Bruins don't have any really young European players this year who played in the SEL or SM-Liiga, give it a year or two.

The Islanders and Minnesota Wild are arguably much more impressive this year in terms of quality of fighters over an aging and rarely fighting (and always wrestling) Chara, Thornton who's due for a decline fighting and play-wise, and the always overrated Lucic.

[nyrpack]

taking a brief look at the potential, the dallas stars have got to be kidding me, they are gonna get pushed around like school children, they have nothing in ways of toughness !!

[Ciccarelli]

Isn't Alexei Kovalev on the Panthers roster?

[Stevens Lindros]

Hadn't gone through the league in time. He's officially on the team now though.
