Top to bottom July 1 coverage with live updates from noon to midnight and instant analysis from The Hockey News' stable of experts.
Let the frenzy begin.
A holiday in Canada, July 1 is anything but in the NHL as GMs work the phones, agents table their demands and players wait to find out which uniform they’ll be wearing for at least next season and, in many cases, the foreseeable future.
Writer and copy editor Ryan Kennedy joined The Hockey News in 2005 after a freelancing career in newspapers and magazines. He is the creator of Jersey Hound as well as the co-author of the the book Young Guns with Ryan Dixon.
Writer and columnist Adam Proteau has been with The Hockey News since 1999. He is a frequent contributor to radio and TV programs across North America and won the Professional Hockey Writers Association’s award for best column in 2005-06.
The Hockey News has been home to Charlie's hockeysockpuppettheatre since 2002 and Loose Change since 2004. The Instigator - his continuing cartoon editorial feature - started online with the CBC way back in 2000. He's also been cartooning for The Toronto Sun since 2005. He has been romantically linked to Barbara Walters' grandmother.
Writer and copy editor Ryan Dixon has been part of The Hockey News since 2005 after working for a number of newspapers in Ontario and Western Canada. He has covered the game from its grassroots to the NHL level and co-authored the book Hockey’s Young Guns with Ryan Kennedy.
The senior copy editor, Sam McCaig has been with The Hockey News since 1999. He regularly covers the NHL and AHL, but it hasn’t helped his game – his career high for goals in a season is one (set several times).
The Hockey News’s senior writer, Ken Campbell is in his second tour of duty with magazine. He was previously with the publication from 1988 to 1998 before coming back in 2006. He’s also the author of the book Habs Heroes and co-author The Top 60 since 1967.

In our season-end edition of the power rankings, the B's take the top spot, but many eyes are on the Devils.
It’s hard to imagine a team finishing with a franchise-record 51 wins and the league’s fifth-best record being in the midst of a downer, but that’s where the Devils are heading into the playoffs.

With one week to go in the regular season a familiar team sits on top, while the Nashville Predators make a late push.
Lots will be made in the season’s final week about teams like St. Louis, Columbus and Florida trying to make either their first playoff appearance in a long time or, in the Jackets’ case, ever.

A new No. 1 emerges in THN's power rankings while the Blues continue their climb up the ladder.
Are we witnessing the start of a new St. Louis streak?
The Blues made the playoffs every year from 1979-80 through 2003-04. And while none of those berths resulted in so much as a trip to the Cup final, it’s still a stretch worth saluting.
In the July 6 edition of The Hockey News, our cover story, looks at the 2009 Stanley Cup champion Penguins and why they will continue to dominate the NHL.
We profile each of our top 60 prospects, feature expected No. 1 and No. 2 John Tavares and Victor Hedman and details each team’s needs.
