Great rundown of the landscape one month before the trade deadline. This is why I love Pierre LeBrun: Solid, straight-forward reporting, with lots of insight from GMs who are willing to talk to him. All that good stuff, with none of the Burnsidery.

John Tavares had a solid first campaign, and his supporting cast is building in strength, led by Kyle Okposo, Matt Moulson, Frans Nielsen, Blake Comeau, Josh Bailey, Jack Hillen, Trevor Gillies and more to come up from the farm system.

— Doo-dee-doo, one of these names is not like the other... From ESPN's Pierre LeBrun. This after the Ottawa announcers did the same thing. I think pundits keep looking at Gillies' late-season callup and games played and thinking he's some prospect-come-lately.
