My first installment is on Swedish netminder Jonas Gustavsson. He’s been highly touted as the “best goaltender outside of the NHL” and has been rumoured to be coming over to the NHL to play next season. The 24 year-old has apparently been in contact with the Maple Leafs, Avalanche, Sharks, and Stars. We still don’t know where he’s going to end up, and it’s almost July 1st. Now, I’ve watched as much tape as I could possibly scrounge up on the internet on this guy, and I think I’m ready to give you the facts about Jonas Gustavsson. Is he the real deal?

So it’s that time of year again, the playoffs are getting close to finishing, and fans of teams that are out of it are getting excited for the upcoming draft on June 26th. Each team must evaluate where they need immediate help, where they are lacking in depth, and what they can do to fix each issue. The draft is a great way to fix many of those problems. One good draft can turn a franchise around, especially if you have a top five pick. Almost every single player in the league today was drafted, so I can’t help but wonder who the next superstar might be that comes from this draft (aside from Tavares).
