We regretfully haven't done this in 3 years, but I've resurrected the ballot and this year we will induct three GMs to account for this gap in time.

With Season 10 about to start, all the GMs in the CMHL are getting geared up for a new year. I thought I would take a minute to reflect on a draft of old.

They say you have to wait 5 years before you can analyze a draft. So while I can't predict 2018, I can reflect on 2008 (the summer after Season 4).

So let's look at my own draft - who was a boom and who was a bust?

Every year, for the last 4 years, I have attempted to predict the Calder Trophy winner at the start of the year. After narrowly missing the mark in my first year, when my #3 candidate won, I have since then correctly predicted the winner 3 years running including picking Logan Couture to win the Season 8 Trophy. That said, last year I missed the boat completely on the other two finalists, Grant Clitsome and Corey Crawford.

Though I'm a little late to the game this year, as 1/3 of the season has already passed, I figure its never too late to get in the game. Let's see if I can make it 4 in a row, and even get all three finalists!

Above is the Coyotes new Captain Big Z, Zdeno Chara who was acquired from Boston this off-season to provide leadership and protection for the Coyotes Jonathan Quick. Below is new scoring forward Blake Comeau who was acquired from Tampa Bay for disgruntled forward Kyle Turris. Blake brings a wealth of playoff experience and a cup ring to his new club.

The Colorado Avalanche announced today that they have come to terms with RFA forward Phil Kessel on a new contract that will keep him in the Mile High City for the next two years.
