We wrap up the previews with Tampa, Toronto, Vancouver, Washington and Winnipeg.
Here are the final five teams of my eighth annual summer fantasy evaluation. Ratings of these teams reflect my comfort level/excitement of building a fantasy squad around them – how much harder should I work on acquiring a player in Washington as opposed to a player in Florida?
Tampa Bay Lightning
Gone - Paul Szczechura, Vladimir Mihalik, Matt Smaby, Mike Lundin, Cedrick Desjardins, Randy Jones, Simon Gagne, Mike Smith, Sean Bergenheim, Marc Pouliot, Mathieu Roy
Incoming - Ryan Shannon, Tom Pyatt, Matt Gilroy, Mathieu Garon, Michel Ouellet, Bruno Gervais
Ready for full time – I have Brett Connolly penciled in to make this squad, but the pencil is very light and easily erased.
