FanSided NHL Recap September 6th

Time to gear up for the regular season loyal readers.  Training camps are about to begin, and with today being Labor Day, we all know that signifies that the long summer is almost over!  No more drama about Kovy!  Howwever there’s still drama about pending free agents, and where teams will be expected to finish, but at least it seems like we can start to get down to business.

Here are some of FanSided best posts from our NHL network from last week.  Enjoy!

Thrasher Backer has some bold predictions and is certainly excited for the new season to begin.  Can’t help but think that Atlanta just might be a little better than last year.

Defence may or may not be a problem this year for the Dallas Stars.  Blackout Dallas takes a look at the blueline lineup and ranks them.

Even though Edmonton is pretty far away from mainstream media, it’s not without it’s own drama.  Thanks to goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin.  Oil On Whyte talks about the recent court room drama.

As we keep saying, training camp is almost here.  Finally filling our last open site on the Network, Gone Puck Wild is counting down the days.

Does a high profile free agent always make a difference?  Or do you just need someone with good work ethic and leadership?  Predlines give their opinion.

After a long wait, forward Lee Stempniak is back with the Phoenix Coyotes.  Howlin Hocky reports on the forward who maybe has found a home.

That wraps up the best of FanSided for last week.  As we get closer to camp watch for our team previews, some fantasy news as well as predictions.

One last item.  We have finally filled our last site.  Nikki Donovan has come on board to be the lead writer for the Minnesota Wild site, Gone Puck Wild.  Welcome Nikki, and our goal as a network has been accomplished, which was to have all 30 teams represented before the season started!

Thanks to all the writers that are part of this newtork.  We wouldn’t be were we are today without you.  Keep up the good work.
