It's Fantasy Hockey Week in the NHL

Saturday August 6, 2005

The wildest fantasy hockey draft could not match the free agent frenzy gripping the NHL this week. Just as the new collective bargaining agreement transforms hockey's economic landscape, the free agent season of 2005 is remaking the on-ice look of the league:

  • Paul Kariya surfaces in Nashville
  • Scott Niedermayer is a Mighty Duck
  • Peter Forsberg is a Flyer
  • Chris Pronger heads north to Edmonton
  • Pavol Demitra joins the Kings
  • Zigmund Palffy and Sergei Gonchar waddle with the Penguins
  • Bobby Holik lands in Atlanta

    ...and with countless other stars criss-crossing the continent, we'll be trying to sort the winners from the losers for months and years to come.
