I would like to just pass along that I am just in the process of getting a ton of work in college finished, which is making it tough to get some kind of site up to post links to the past and present free agent listings and also getting work on a weekly piece of writing done, but I shoudl get something in place soon!

This Update:
Dave Karpa, signed with Wilkes/Barre (AHL) from Rangers
Jamie Pushor, signed with Syracuse (AHL) from Pittsburgh/Toronto
Craig Berube, signed with Philadelphia (AHL) from Calgary
Blake Sloan, signed with Grand Rapids (AHL) from Calgary
