None of the big new trades played, Havlat, Handzus, Burns, etc. New D-men Jim Vandermeer and Colin White played though. Brad Winchester (who I used to "hate") is now with the Sharks, getting an assist and penalty. :-)

I'm looking forward to seeing a pre-season game soon, and seeing how things start shaking out.

I think the Sharks might be in a little trouble with their goaltending. According to an article at tsn.ca, Niittymaki will be out for 12 weeks due to hip surgery. Of course, Niemi is their #1, so it might not affect them overly much.
