The NHL is slowly waking up.

One more to go to September.

Try to jazz it up for them, NHL.

He's a dramatically different player to the one who got identical votes

The Raptors are pointing the direction the Leafs are likely to keep taking.

Shouldn't be that hard a question, and yet it does depend on how you define your terms.

How do the two votes compare?

Five years out from his draft summer, he's moved to the SHL.

They won't, though.

An undrafted free agent leads off this year's T25.

T25 starts today.

Everyone who didn't make the Top 25.

And other hockey news of no great importance.

The 13 who didn't make the list.

I thought the holiday weekend was the slowest for NHL news but the one just over tops it.

This year's vote panel found 25 players to rank.

Summer rolls on.

Not much else is going on, which is likely just as well.

Get in there and rank those prospects.

Sometime. Eventually.

Today is when it kicks off for real.

We say goodbye to some old friends.

Some are new and old at the same time.

Everyone under the age of 25 whose rights are retained by the Leafs (almost).

Will this be better? It's not impossible.
