| Message | Even I think this is a stretch. but it's straight from ESPN.com, predictions for this years Hart Winner... Hart Trophy East: Crosby; Jaromir Jagr, Rangers; Eric Staal, Hurricanes. West: Daniel Sedin, Canucks; Thornton, Sharks; Jarome Iginla, Flames. Who wins: Yeah, Sedin might be a reach, but after all those earlier seasons of underachievement and waiting for confirmation that the twins were worth the trouble, and with the Canucks likely to be the class of the Northwest this season, Henrik and Daniel stepped up in 2006-07. His placid demeanor works against Henrik, but with his brother's set-up help, he's on the verge of completely breaking through. |

| Message | Goon... you call yourself a GM? Well with the last and least expansion draft choice for 2007 The Phillies choose from a lowly crop of wannabe forwards... the only upside to be found is there because Sid the Kid will be bouncing pucks in off of Mark Recchi... lock it in... when's the draft start?

| Message | The Dukes welcome Mats and the leadership he will provide for our young club. Rumoured to be disatisfied with being left unprotected by his former club, Sundin has indicated to Dukes management an intense desire for prove his former team wrong. On behalf of Mats, GM Duke would like to apologize for the water bottle throwing incident that occured at the Round Three Protection Press Conference. The Dukes also thought it was pretty cool to have a player whose first name is plural. The swapping of pick #13 for Sundin was part 1 of 2 in the future considerations of the Briere deal. Stay tuned. |

| Message | Well, I'll start it off with welcoming David Aebischer into the fold... we're expecting mediocre things... Moving on to the final stage of the 07 expansion draft the Phillies are excited to add young forwards Andrew Ladd from Chowtown, and a personal favorite Tuomo Ruutu from the Cdoggs. I will make my final two picks from Goons and Blazers after a short discussion with a couple of GM's. ![]() |

| Message | MAJOR TRADE ANNOUNCEMENT!!! The Eppsters and the Phillis have completed a deal that will rock the FHL to it's very foundation. The Eppsters have sent fourth-string goaltender David Aebischer to the Phillies...in exchange, the Phillies will not select another forward from the Eppsters (ensuring young superstart such as Robert Lang and Eric Lindros remain with their current squad). This eliminates the Eppsters need toe protect anymore players in expansion. |
