*It’s season preview time babby!!! First up, Captain Claude Giroux. [BSH]
*So yesterday the NHL and the NHLPA released what they’re calling a “Declaration of Principles”. Interesting concept. Even the Pope got involved! [Puck Daddy]
*So like…what’s the deal with Cole Bardreau? Why is the front office so chatty about this rando on a team stacked with prospects? It’s a little weird. [Courier-Post]
*The Caps fans have no respect for our goaltending. Which…I mean, yeah. That makes sense. [Japers’ Rink]
*Speaking of goalies, let’s check in with our old pal Steve Mason, who will hopefully crush it up in Winnipeg. [Arctic Ice Hockey]
*On the list of things that your author finds annoying, the weird silent ban on offer sheets that has been instituted by NHL GMs is pretty high on the list. [NHL Numbers]
*Just how bizarre was the Flyers‘ offseason? Luckily DGB is here to tell us. [Sportsnet]
*And finally, if the league’s 31 GMs are all dumb enough to leave Jaromir Jagr without a job this year, at least we’ll be able to enjoy SOMETHING about the Olympics. [ProHockeyTalk]
