Note: We are now in the quiet stretch of time which silence may be broken with news of a signing of the remaining RFAs (Vlardi, Barron, Stanley & Chisholm) as well as a potential free agent or two. We did learn courtesy of the NHLPA the arbitration dates scheduled for Gabe Vilari and Morgan Barron.
Note II: I will be chatting with “new” Moose forward CJ Suess today and our chat will be posted on here and on our Illegal Curve YouTube page.
