I've decided to gather all the musing series links into one post. Mainly for organizational and reference purposes, particularly for any new readers dropping by. In chronological order: Mikael Backlund Dustin Boyd David Moss Brandon Prust Rene Bourque Curtis Glencross Mike Cammalleri Matthew Lombardi I tried to target guys that were new or had some question marks going into the new season. As such,...

For guys like Boyd, Moss, Glencross and Bourque, it's a question of where they will land in the Flames line-up next season. Not so with Cammalleri. With only a few established offensive difference makers, he's destined to get top 6 - if not top 3 - minutes in Calgary. The question is how effective he'll be in that role. The 26 year-old will be heading into just his 4th full season come October. He's...

Wow. Kind of an exciting draft weekend. Although I am with Jeff Z. Klein in that I too find it a little annoying that you don't know if a team had a good draft for something like five years . That's why I like draft-day trades. They're way more immediate. The Flames got Mike Cammalleri from LA and shipped Alex Tanguay to Montreal.It was a great move for Calgary, that let them get a little younger...

Mike Cammalleri is now a Calgary Flame. Here's what I know about him: The Good - Fast, agile, with a hard and accurate shot. Effective PP player, who can legitimately play the point (unlike Tanguay). Young, with potential to score 30+ goals every year. Already has an 80 point season under his belt. The Bad - Small, somewhat soft and tends to get scored on at ES. Bad year last season, due in part to...

from TSN, The 2008 NHL Entry Draft kicked off in Ottawa with a flurry of big trades on Friday night, and the Calgary Flames led the way early with two major deals. The first move saw general manager Darryl Sutter acquire forward Mike Cammalleri from the Los Angeles Kings in a three-team deal that also involved the Anaheim Ducks. Calgary sent its 17th overall pick to the Kings for Cammalleri, and the...

The draft show has started on Versus, meaning the first pick will go down about half an hour from now or so. James Duthie is hosting, and Darren Dreger is on the draft floor. The first trade of the day is that LA sends Mike Cammalleri to Calgary, while LA and Anaheim end up with some draft picks. Apparently the official TSN dress code is a light blue shirt and striped tie and sports coat. Every analyst...

No chance, said Senators GM Bryan Murray, who signed Spezza to a seven-year, $49-million US contract extension starting July 1....
