In the mailbag: UFA winners and losers? Why is Detroit in the West? Tavares or Hedman? A a Proteau-tune?
Happy real, official off-season, everybody. Let’s celebrate with a contractually obligated mailbag.
Adam, I’m gonna make this real simple: Who are your “winner” and “loser” teams after the first couple days of unrestricted free agency?
Jason M.

Proteau answers readers questions on watching the draft, his '10 Cup pick, Burke's hypocrisy, Bouwmeester's future, and more.
Just think – by this time next week, the NHL draft will be over, as will the first manic days of unrestricted free agency. However will hockeyphiles survive for the following couple months?
Beats me.
by Adam Proteau - June 19, 2009 1:24 PM EDT
In this week's mailbag: Heatley's Olympic chances... who will San Jose move... why is Adam so negative? And more.
Now that the NHL season is officially over and the league’s awards have been handed out, how much breathing room do we get before talking hockey again – three, four whole days? Just another reason why exhibition games suck harder than an asthmatic vampire and ought to be done away with for good.
by Adam Proteau - June 12, 2009 11:22 AM EDT
In this week's mailbag: NHL scheduling issues... Enroth drafted by the KHL... and THN Radio's summer schedule.
At last – all the hype, anticipation and analysis has ended and we can get down to what everybody’s been waiting for: another Friday mailbag.
by Adam Proteau - June 5, 2009 11:43 AM EDT
In the mailbag this week: Back to ESPN?... Nieuwendyk a good GM?... Schremp's future?... Colorado rebuild?
It’s mailbag time – and by now I’m sure you know the routine. If you don’t see your question here, check out the mailbag feature in The Hockey News magazine and listen to it on the THN Radio Show on XM Home Ice Channel 204.

Proteau's away, so the THNers step up to answer questions about the Sedins and Toronto, Vinny and Montreal, and more.
When the cat (Adam) is away, the mice (the rest of the THN staff) get to play.
Regularly scheduled Adam answering will resume June 5.
I am a diehard Leafs fan, but the Leafs only exciting moment (in the past few years) was drafting Luke Schenn.
by Adam Proteau - May 22, 2009 1:33 PM EDT
Should the Pens trade Jordan? Canadian expansion? UFA vs. RFA? Jagr to the Oil? These questions and more in the Friday mailbag.
I’m suspending standard operating procedure for the next 7-10 days, mainly to put the finishing touches (as well as the halfway-through touches) on a new book for THN.
by Adam Proteau - May 15, 2009 1:53 PM EDT
In the Friday mailbag: Norris favorites... Bettman vs. Balsillie... and who's carrying the Canes?
Well, wasn’t that a fine pair of Game 7s Thursday night? It’s small consolation if you’re a Bruins or Ducks fan, but those two contests were as thrilling as any in the NHL’s 2009 playoffs – and when a true competitor like Boston’s Tim Thomas is smiling and congratulating Hurricanes players in the post-game on-ice handshake, he shows fans of all vanquished teams how to accept defeat with class.
by Adam Proteau - May 8, 2009 12:31 PM EDT
In the Friday mailbag: Playoff MVP so far... a couple trade proposals... renaming awards... and more.
With all four remaining NHL playoff series looking as if they’re headed to a seven-game finale – and with Jim Balsillie looking as if he’ll make bids on at least seven franchises until Gary Bettman allows the BlackBerry baron to play in the league’s yard – there are all kinds of pressing questions to deal with this week.
by Adam Proteau - May 1, 2009 2:15 PM EDT
In the mailbag: the Joe Sakic Trophy?... Who's Team Canada's starter?... Can the Canucks keep the Sedins?... and more.
Once again, AA readers (a term I hope I haven’t accidentally misappropriated from psychics with alcoholic clients) have outdone themselves with great inquiries for this week’s mailbag.
by Adam Proteau - April 24, 2009 12:29 PM EDT
In the mailbag: What's the future of the Jackets and Stars? Who are assistants talking to? Could the Isles get draft shafted? And more.
Wherever did the week go? Oh yeah – mostly up and down the highway, back and forth between Toronto and Columbus. (If you don’t know what I’m referring to, click HERE for written and video evidence.
by Adam Proteau - April 17, 2009 12:54 PM EDT
In this week's mailbag Adam addresses the Columbus question, the best complete player in the league and more.
The first two days of the NHL playoffs are in the books and already there’s a good amount of animus bubbling up between first round rivals.

Who wins the Smyth-Quincey/Preissing trade?
"I'm not here to replace him."
- Martin Havlat, who signed with Minnesota a few hours after former Wild star Marian Gaborik inked a UFA deal with the Rangers.
