Karine Hains: In Hainsight: Toronto and Minnesota Announce their Signings After Ottawa yesterday, it was Toronto and Minnesota’s turn to reveal their free agency signings.

Happy to see Minnesota go younger with Pannek. Teams opted for high profile players with a long track record with leadership skills 30 and older. Good strategy and may bode well for putting people in the seats. I’m thinking some teams will go the youth route in the draft.

Amanda Kessel. Boston, NY or not playing?

Toronto is fair’y young as well with Nurse who’s only 28. Yup I believe we’ll see a lot of youth and goalies go quick in the draft.

Kessel’s got to be playing I would think NYC maybe? They only leaked two names….

Dubas hired Kessel to his staff back in July. She's been with PIT since last year.

Karine:

Will you be covering the new league?

I sincerely hope that Toronto (and the other five franchises) tap into the girls' leagues to promote ticket sales.

It would be pretty easy to sell out every game if they just marketed to teams and their parents.
