First Post in a While...NHL Offseason Changes 2009

So here we are, just over two months from preseason, and just over three months from regular season. July is ending, with very little summer, and I'm already thinking nonstop about the upcoming season. Many teams have made drastic changes, to just name a few: The Leafs, Canadiens, Chicago, Islanders, and Rangers...
...Pittsburgh lost Gill, Detroit lost Hudler and Hossa, Chicago lost the Bulan wall, and Toronto lost Kubina.

So I want to be the first to make a prediction on the upcoming season. Starting today I will make a post for each team in the NHL. Offense, defence, goaltending, major changes, improvements still needed, and other, and I'll even post my prediction on league standings and such...here's the list of all 30 teams, after I post an analogy of a team I will change the colour so that it's known I've done it. I may even post a link to it eventually.
