Well, it's been a little while since my last post, and I once again find myself at the All-Star game. So far I've been having a solid season, made a nice addition of Markku Heino to the second line after Forney got injured, and also added another Fin and former prospect of mine in Niko Kiiskinen.

Unfortunately, I did lose a few minor prospects, Ivan Barbashev (waivers due to cap) and Ruslan Taratukhin (trade) because of cap problems. The core is still in tact though, and Heino has been a great addition to a second line that is producing at a rate I haven't had in a long time. Bylsma on the 3rd line has also helped with the defensive game though.

Here is the roster and stats so far this season:
