We’re a week away from genuine NHL hockey and you’re all ramping up your question-submitting efforts accordingly. Perpetual thanks to everyone who takes a moment to write – and to folks who understand why I can’t get to all of them.

Hey Adam, I’m not a fan of the Hawks or Oilers, but I am a little stumped. I understand why the Hawks had to part with Antti Niemi, but why wouldn’t the Oilers take a shot at him? Couldn’t they add one more young player to their core to grow like the Hawks did? Are they that in love with the prospects in goal? Cheers,
Nick Boukas, Denver
