...use he rolls on the checks. He's not scared to rough it up, but he seems easy to get off his game and it's not rare to see him take a bad penalty 180 FEET from his net. Huberdeau is good both offensively and defensively and was often used by coach Gallant on the PK. Jonathan will need to fill out...

But it eventually happened, and the NHL's current deal with Comcast/NBC has been a financial grand slam for the league. Nowadays, anyone who...

...a better defensively player than I first gave him credit for. He's a tall kid, with a long stick who can deny time and space with the use of his fast FEET, long stick and excellent hockey instincts.

Bill Meltzer: Star Gazing: What is Stars biggest need?

August 9, 2012 - 11:41 AM ET

...ron Rome is an upgrade on Adam Pardy, at least.
