We made a couple moves this week bringing in a pair of defensemen: Vancouver's Sami Salo and Tampa Bay's Marc-Andre Bergeron in exchange for defender Roman Hamrlik and left winger Scott Hartnell. At the time of the moves, the Hamrlik and Hartnell had combined for just one assist. By comparison, Bergeron and Salo have combined for five assists just since I acquired them. So far so good there.
The one area we're still struggling is plus/minus. At -8 we're the second worst team in the league. That's a little tougher to fix though. The one other area I'm looking right now is still my defensemen. Cam Fowler doesn't have a point this season and Brent Seabrook only has one. If there's some defensemen out there that can provide some points while also helping the plus/minus situation, I'll certainly need to look into that. Otherwise, pretty happy with how the roster is shaping up. Anyhow, here's an update on the rest of the league:
