So it seems that our large and in charge captain has been keeping himself busy in the slow offseason. Aside from making a musical appearance at the Slovakian Hockey Awards, jamming on guitar, he's also going to play in an exhibition game dedicated to the fallen Lokomotiv team.

Our captain is an awesome guy.

Aside from that, a few former Avs signed in the Southeast Division yesterday. Wojtek Wolski signed with the Capitals, who appear to have a pretty good post-Semin plan falling into place, and Florida has taken a chance on Peter Mueller. Both are pretty low-risk, high-reward signings.

After the jump, Mikael Samuelsson weighs in on the 2011 finals (we're still going on about this?), an old article from Harpers magazine, and some other bits of summery news:
