This is the last weekend with no hockey, as the prospects tournament goes next weekend in the afternoons both day. After than the first preseason game is on the following weekend. And then it's straight on until the Olympic break.

Kent Hughes traded Carey Price's whopper of a contract. And to the Sharks! Who saw that coming.

Look at all that attention. Not a bit of it on the Centre of the Universe. You got what you wanted, Edmonton fans! Enjoy!

But is he in the best shape of his life?

On tap this weekend is the regular T25 Summary, and not a lot else. Next week is the final five of the T25, which are five obvious names now, followed by some fun on the weekend for prospect watchers. I can't wait. These events are just barely enough like real games to be fun. Better than preseason. 

Have a great weekend everyone.
