Montreal Gazette: Plenty of off season action this summer. Red Fischer takes a look at all the moves in the Eastern Conference and how it might affect each team. Doesn’t appear he thinks much will happen in Winnipeg, aside from jubiliation for the team’s return.
National Post: Shannahan prepares for new role as NHL disciplinarian. Its like putting the fox in charge of the hen house as Shanahan was known for breaking a rule or two back when he played. Of course knowing the ins and outs of League justice might help in his new position.
