Well... the Pens won't finish last this year.
Arbitration hearings have been going on. Sounds like Scott Gomez may arbitrate himself out of New Jersey.
Full schedule is out, as well... NHL screws the pooch again. I thought one of the best features of last season was having every team start the same night. This year is back to the handful of opening night games, though all 3 are very good this year - Toronto/Ottawa, Dallas/Colorado, and Carolina/Buffalo (think Buffalo will be slightly motivated to win?
).
