My favourite post to write every year. I've picked 30 players, one from each team, that you should keep an eye on. Not going to toot my own horn (I'm going to do it), but in the past I've picked out some breakout seasons. You won't read this in time for your fantasy draft (unless you're lame and start after the puck drops) but hopefully it gives you a good reason to watch different teams. I love watching my Canucks, but I make an effort to watch other games too because 1) it's still hockey, and 2) there are some really, really underrated and overlooked players out there.
1. Boston Bruins
Additions: Joe Corvo, Benoit Pouliot
Losses: Tomas Kaberle, Michael Ryder
Injuries: Marc Savard (concussion), Nathan Horton (concussion)
How could you not rank the reigning champs first? "If it ain't broke, don't fix it, " but the Bruins still upgraded Kaberle to Corvo (a better fit) and replaced Ryder with Pouliot. This young Bruins squad is good and they've got the winning experience to back it up. Did I mention Tim Thomas is a Hero?
2. Chicago Blackhawks
Additions: Andrew Brunette, Dan Carcillo, Steve Montador, Sean O'Donnell, Ray Emery (tryout)
Losses: Chris Campoli, Tomas Kopecky, Brian Campbell, Marty Turco
Bowman's biggest accomplishment this summer was making his team cheaper but better. Kopecky and Campbell took their $10 million to tax-free Florida, while Bowman's gone out and picked up serviceable guys like Brunette, the stone-footed yet ageless wonder, O'Donnell, to give Patrick Kane's head a smack once in a while, and Carcillo, because Blackhawks party limos need better parties. And if you're not rooting for Emery, you're a jerk.
3. San Jose Sharks
Additions: Brent Burns, Michal Handzus, Martin Havlat, Colin White
Losses: Dany Heatley, Devin Setoguchi, Charlie Coyle, Kyle Wellwood
If Brent Burns is the solution to all of the Sharks' problems, his value alone would outweigh all of their losses. White further solidifies their blueline, which all of a sudden looks quite formidable, although I wonder why they passed on Hannan, who not only is a familiar face but also more familiar with the West's style of play. Having Handzus also means both Couture and Pavelski move into the top six permanently, giving the Sharks the second scoring unit they've been longing for.
4. Vancouver Canucks
Additions: Marco Sturm, Owen Nolan (tryout), Todd Fedoruk (tryout)
Losses: Christian Ehrhoff, Raffi Torres, Tanner Glass
Injuries: Ryan Kesler (hip), Mason Raymond (back)
The Canucks breezed through the season and came within one game of winning the Cup, but with the way the series played out, you could've argued for the Canucks to either revamp the roster or give this core another chance and find support in both schools of thought. Gillis, ever the players' GM, chose the latter. But the injury to Kesler and the Canucks' penchant for slow Octobers (5 L in 9 GP) means the Canucks must bring their A-game from the get-go. And if Gillis thinks Nolan is the Mark Recchi-type the team was missing in June, I point to Recchi's two rings earned prior to joining the Bruins.
5. Detroit Red Wings
Additions: Ian White, Mike Commodore, Ty Conklin
Losses: Brian Rafalski, Kris Draper, Mike Modano, Chris Osgood
The Red Wings are like those Canadian Chevy commercials from the early 2000's: "Tried, Tested, and True" – while Commodore's game has slipped, Holland again prefers his well-traveled and experienced vets and shied away from the market. The additions are solid and the emergence of Brendan Smith and Tomas Tatar couldn't come at a better time, with ALL of the Wings' personnel losses due to retirements (except Modano… but it's close for him too).
6. Washington Capitals
Additions: Tomas Vokoun, Roman Hamrlik, Troy Brouwer, Joel Ward
Losses: Semyon Varlamov, Scott Hannan, Eric Fehr, Anton Gustafsson
Injuries: Tom Poti (groin)
Whatever morale the Caps had built up after dismantling the hapless Rangers in five games was quickly obliterated by the Lightning in four games. Ovechkin was ineffective (for his standards) and only managed to match last year's point totals. This summer the Caps received their makeover, landing a veteran goalie and adding more physical wingers, but given how uninspired the locker room is rumoured to be, you just wonder if the Caps will be anything more than just regular season paper tigers.
7. Pittsburgh Penguins
Additions: Steve Sullivan
Losses: Max Talbot
Injuries: Sidney Crosby (concussion)
Of all of the Penguins' UFAs, Talbot was the last player I thought Shero would let walk. Regardless, the Penguins' future depends on Crosby's health. If he's 100%, the Pens are undoubtedly the best team in the East. Without Crosby the Pens are much less dynamic, as would any team without the league's best player, but a Malkin-Staal 1-2 punch isn't bad either. There's enough for the Pens to seriously contend but they need Crosby, as does the NHL.
8. Los Angeles Kings
Additions: Mike Richards, Simon Gagne, Colin Fraser, Ethan Moreau
Losses: Ryan Smyth, Brayden Schenn, Wayne Simmonds, Alexei Ponikarovsky
Injuries: Colin Fraser (foot)
The two biggest trade chips Lombardi dealt away are aged 20 and 23. The pair of former Flyers, the two new big acquisitions, are aged 26 and 31. It's "win now" time for the LA Kings.
9. New York Rangers
Additions: Brad Richards, Mike Rupp, Tim Erixon
Losses: Chris Drury, Matt Gilroy, Bryan McCabe
Gaborik's deal looked great when he was churning out 4-goal games on a regular basis, but by his sophomore year the Rangers were really regretting that contract. Could Richards turn out the same? There are two opposing opinions of Richards: one, he's a playoff performer who's averaged more than a point per game for the past two seasons; and two, he's a minus player, a powerplay specialist who benefits from having good wingers. I tend to buy into more negative opinion, if only because the players Sather throws money at are consistently disappointing. (Steve has more on the Rangers here.)
10. Buffalo Sabres
Additions: Ville Leino, Christian Ehrhoff, Robyn Regehr
Losses: Mike Grier, Rob Niedermayer
My opinion of Terry Pegula went downhill pretty fast. Just because you have money doesn't you can just throw it around and expect things to work out, but while the Sabres are enjoying their new-found optimism I shudder to think what the future ramifications of Ehrhoff's contract are. The Sabres are a much deeper team and could use a bounce-back year from Tyler Myers, but the real worry is cap management.
11. Philadelphia Flyers
Additions: Ilya Bryzgalov, Brayden Schenn, Jaromir Jagr, Max Talbot, Wayne Simmonds, Jakub Voracek
Losses: Mike Richards, Jeff Carter, Ville Leino, Brian Boucher, Kris Versteeg, Nikolay Zherdev
Injuries: Chris Pronger (back)
There's no argument that the Flyers are the biggest unknown heading into 2011-'12. It's like the Flyers started June as Ke$ha then came out of July looking like Hilary Duff – the image is undoubtedly cleaner (and more sober), but we're still not sure whose music we hate more. The season hinges on Schenn while the playoffs hinge on Bryzgalov. That's a lot of pressure for a rookie and goalie who likes going to parks. And yes, Jagr did completely poo-poo on his legacy in Pittsburgh, but I'm betting by the end of the year he'll be the most hated person in all of Pennsylvania. Actually, you can take that to the bank.
12. Anaheim Ducks
Additions: Andrew Cogliano, Andrew Gordon, Kurtis Foster
Losses: Teemu Selanne, , Ray Emery, Todd Marchant, Jarkko Ruutu, Andy Sutton
The superstar trio of Getzlaf, Ryan, and Perry can keep the team afloat without Selanne, but they need more sidekicks and Visnovsky's 68-point performance will be hard to replicate. Heads will turn to Andrew Gordon, the former St. Cloud St. star who is a prolific AHL scorer and will get his opportunity to shine in Anaheim after being buried in top-heavy Washington. We'll see if the 26-year old goes the way of Matt Moulson or Jeff Tambellini (coincidentally, both are former Kings, except Moulson managed to stick around on Long Island).
13. Tampa Bay Lightning
Additions: Mathieu Garon, Matt Gilroy, Ryan Shannon
Losses: Sean Bergenheim, Simon Gagne
I'm disappointed in Yzerman's quiet off-season. With a Conference Finals appearance it would've been the perfect time to attract some good depth players and even though the market wasn't very good (didn't stop Tallon), there were a couple of players the Lightning could've used. Instead, the Lightning lost Bergenheim to in-state rival Panthers and Gagne to LA. Picking up Garon may be the shrewdest move of the summer, since expecting Roloson to start 60+ games would be foolhardy. We'll also have to see if Guy Boucher's magic touch is for real.
14. Calgary Flames
Additions: Scott Hannan, Chris Butler
Losses: Robyn Regehr, Adam Pardy, Steve Staios, Tim Erixon
With everyone in the organization breathing a little easier without Darryl Sutter around and having survived the "Iggy to LA?" scare, Feaster's promises of change brought in a new wave of optimism. Dealing away Regehr (thanks to Pegula) and letting Staios walk were no-brainer decisions and just as you thought Feaster was turning the franchise around, he commits no-trades to Tanguay, Glencross, and Babchuk, bringing the total number of NTCs on the Flames' roster to 12 (of 20 regulars). But remember, the Flames went 24-11-9 under Feaster, so maybe it was all psychological.
15. Nashville Predators
Additions: Niclas Bergfors, Zack Stortini
Losses: Joel Ward, Cody Franson, Shane O'Brien
Retaining Weber was Poile's biggest and best move this summer. Without him, the Preds are rudderless and would forced to rely solely on Pekka Rinne. The Preds are at a natural disadvantage when it comes to luring free agents due to their small market business model, but if they don't add some significant bodies to show Weber that the team is willing to spend and win, I think he leaves. Brace yourself for a potentially excruciatingly slow divorce, Nashville. Barry Trotz is the one constant in Nashville.
16. Montreal Canadiens
Additions: Erik Cole, Peter Budaj
Losses: Roman Hamrlik, James Wisniewski, Brent Sopel, Paul Mara, Benoit Pouliot
It doesn't really matter when you have Price in net, but the return of Markov and Gorges should offset the quadruplet of defensemen Gauthier allowed to walk. But with the saved money Gauthier opted for Cole, a player coming off his first ever injury-free season and eclipsed the 80 games played mark for the first time since 2004. Price and Subban become RFAs next summer and you can't help but think that Gauthier missed a golden opportunity to beef up his roster and failed to capitalize on the low cap values of Price and Subban ($3.625m combined, when their on-ice value is closer to $10m).
17. St. Louis Blues
Additions: Jason Arnott, Jamie Langenbrunner, Scott Nichol, Brian Elliott
Injuries: David Perron (concussion)
I think the idea behind signing Arnott and Langenbrunner was not only to stabilize a young locker room, but to also give some of the team's developing young talents, like Patrik Berglund, a big nudge in the right direction. A talented team is not a winning team until a clear leader has been appointed. The team has to decide whether or not this is the right core for the next five years. It's showtime in the "Show Me" state.
18. Toronto Maple Leafs
Additions: John-Michael Liles, Cody Franson, Matt Lombardi, Tim Connolly
Losses: J-S Giguere, Brett Lebda!
Injuries: Matt Lombardi (concussion), Colton Orr (concussion)
Getting rid of Giguere and Lebda alone was a big step forward for Burke, but signing Connolly, upgrading Kaberle to Liles, swiping Franson, and learning Lombardi is getting healthy gives Leafs Nation rational reasons to be optimistic. Best case scenario: Lombardi and Connolly both stay healthy and the Leafs make the playoffs because of it. But the landscape also has to be conducive for the Leafs to sneak in – one of Washington, Philly, Pitt, Boston, Tampa, Montreal, Buffalo, and NYR has to drop out of the top 8… and it's difficult to pick which one. (Habs would get the most votes, I imagine).
19. Carolina Hurricanes
Additions: Tomas Kaberle, Anthony Stewart, Brian Boucher, Alexei Ponikarovsky
Losses: Joe Corvo, Cory Stillman
I'd snort if you signed Poni for $3.2 million, but at $1.5 million I might even take you seriously. He was laughably horrendous for the Kings last year but like Calgary's gamble with Tanguay, what if Poni pots 40 points? Picking up Boucher was also an astute move because Justin Peters couldn't cut it (pure ugly: 3.98 GAA, .875 SV%). It also still amazes me that Eric Staal can be one of the league's worst in the circle (amongst FOW leaders only he and Grabovski are sub-50%) and he'll need Jeff Skinner to light it up again if they want to make a late playoff charge.
20. New Jersey Devils
Additions: Peter DeBoer
Losses: Colin White, Brian Rolston, Trent Hunter
Injuries: Travis Zajac (Achilles)
The big addition was DeBoer, a good coach who got stuck on a really bad team. I originally thought Hunter would dress for the Devils, since he's the type of blue-collar winger they like, but Lou's cold – he bought out Hunter and veteran Colin White and jettisoned Rolston a second time. They were forward-moving moves though, but losing Zajac for 3 months with a torn Achilles was a definite step back. The biggest reason for optimism? Zach Parise's return.
21. Columbus Blue Jackets
Additions: James Wisniewski, Jeff Carter, Vinny Prospal, Mark Dekanich, Curtis Sanford
Losses: Mathieu Garon, Jakub Voracek, Ethan Moreau
Injuries: Kristian Huselius (pectoral)
After the Flyers, the Jackets are the NHL's number two biggest unknown. The big question everyone's asking is how well Carter will mesh with Nash. You'll have supporters and detractors, but if Nash-Carter combine for less than 70 goals the team's in trouble. The real question for me is how long Steve Mason can convince Howson he's not a bust. The team's biggest safety net last year was Garon (10 wins) and he hasn't been adequately replaced, with apologies to both Sanford and Dekanich.
22. Dallas Stars
Additions: Glen Gulutzan, Michael Ryder, Vern Fiddler, Jake Dowell, Adam Pardy, Sheldon Souray, Eric Godard
Losses: Brad Richards, Marc Crawford
If it's any consolation to Crawford, the Stars sans Richards are even less likely to make the playoffs. (I don't think the issue with Richards was money – the Stars spent close to $10 million on this year's roster alone – but I do think the pull of playing on Broadway in MSG under Tortorella on a good team was just too great. Brad Gardner wrote a must-read piece on Richards.) Ribeiro becomes the de facto number one centre and if that's not bad enough, there's now a huge void on the second line. A lot of their success will also depend on Lehtonen's health, whose 34 wins last year were the most by a Stars goalie since 2007.
23. Minnesota Wild
Additions: Mike Yeo, Dany Heatley, Devin Setoguchi, Josh Harding (knee)
Losses: Brent Burns, Martin Havlat, Andrew Brunette, Antti Miettinen, Todd Richards, Cam Barker
A lot of dead weight was sent packing to San Jose, but a lot of dead weight came back with it. What the Wild are really counting on is Mike Yeo, Todd Richards' highly-touted replacement, tutored by Bylsma and aced the AHL test last year. Are the Wild, the 20 players that make up the nightly roster, any better though? I'm not convinced, especially for a team that has little resembling a six-man defense corps.
24. Colorado Avalanche
Additions: Semyon Varlamov, Jan Hejda, J-S Giguere, Shane O'Brien, Chuck Kobasew, Peter Mueller (concussion), Joakim Lindstrom
Losses: Peter Budaj, Brian Elliott, Tomas Fleischmann
All the pieces are there, but it's just now a question of how they'll fare, both new and returning players. I know Varlamov and Giguere can stop pucks between alternating visits to the IR, but I'm not sure which direction Erik Johnson's trending or if Mueller even remembers how to get to the rink. Is Stastny staying or going? How will the high air affect SOB's drinking? Why didn't Sherman just offer sheet Varlamov? If everyone gels and Duchene takes the next step though, watch out.
25. Winnipeg Jets
Additions: Kevin Cheveldayoff, Claude Noel, Eric Fehr, Tanner Glass
The Jets fly into the season (first and only time I do this, I swear) largely unchanged. The summer was spent getting caught up to speed, recruiting for AIRCOM, leaking the logo, and deciding which players would whine the least about living in Winnipeg. They flew out of the gates under Ramsay/Dudley (6 games over .500 by December) but faded down the stretch, and with no improvements look for them to post similar numbers to last year. The Jets should feel lucky they're in the Southeast this year – once they move west they'll quickly become cannon fodder.
26. Florida Panthers
Additions (deep breath): Jose Theodore, Brian Campbell, Ed Jovanovski, Tomas Fleischmann, Kris Versteeg, Scottie Upshall, Tomas Kopecky, Sean Bergenheim, Matt Bradley, Marcel Goc, Kevin Dineen
Losses: Tomas Vokoun, Sergei Samsonov
I'm still convinced that Tallon will have dealt half of these players by Deadline Day 2013, and that none of them will still be a Panther if, and when, the Panthers become legitimate contenders. There's really no pressure to win in Florida, which sends off all sorts of warning flags in my head about the competitiveness of this team, but there's enough fight in Kopecky and charm in Versteeg to keep things interesting. Theodore wasn't bad in Minnesota (15 wins, .916 SV%) but does he still have the ability to carry a team?
27. New York Islanders
Additions: Mark Streit (shoulder), Brian Rolston, Marty Reasoner, Evgeni Nabokov
Losses: Zenon Konopka, Trent Hunter
The Islanders' PP was only 17th, but the return of Streit will certainly change that. I have no doubts that the Islanders will be busy scoring goals, but I'm wondering how they'll manage to keep pucks out of the net. The Islanders' options in net are: a 26-year old whose career NHL SV% is inexplicably 20 points higher than his AHL SV%, a mouthy never-was who has won only 11 games over the past 3 years (but signed for 9 more), and a Russian who didn't want to be affiliated with the team at all.
28. Edmonton Oilers
Additions: Cam Barker, Andy Sutton, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Ryan Smyth
Losses: Andrew Cogliano, Kurtis Foster
Injuries: Ryan Whitney, Gilbert Brule (concussion)
Lombardi publicly declared he'd rather invest in Bernie Madoff's word than Tamby's after the Fraser-Smyth fiasco, and the Kings have officially filed a grievance. I find it curious that the Oilers under Tambellini, and Kevin Lowe before that, are a team that no one really likes to deal with. By rights the talent level of the Oilers doesn't warrant a 28th rank but they still have a lot of learning to do. With their wealth of scoring talent this is still a team that went 0-37 with the man advantage through January. Defensively and in net the Oilers are still very much behind. James Mirtle and Tyler Dellow sure didn't mince words in their assessment.
29. Ottawa Senators
Additions: Zenon Konopka, Alex Auld, Nikita Filatov
Losses: Cory Clouston, Alexei Kovalev, Pascal Leclaire
The Sens had their yard sale at the deadline and did their damage at the draft, although I think picking up Konopka was a very understated move (307 PIM, 57.7 FO%). I like that Murray has kept Spezza around (still considered young at 28) because I think he's still a very talented playmaker and hard to replace. The Sens will ice a very young team (read: lose a lot of games) so players like the high-scoring Bobby Butler are the ones to watch. We'll also have to see if Anderson is worth 4 years and $12.75 million (I doubt it).
30. Phoenix Coyotes
Additions: Mike Smith, Raffi Torres, Boyd Gordon, Kyle Chipchura, Petteri Nokelainen (again)
Losses: Ilya Bryzgalov, Ed Jovanovski, Vern Fiddler
The last line of defense on any team is usually the goalie, but for Tippett it's Keith Yandle. The brick wall that once was Bryzgalov has become one made of straw (or sticks?) with a Smith/LaBarbera tandem (combined 20 wins last year – Bryz alone had 36). The Coyotes' 2.68 GA/G (13th) will balloon and their middle-of-the-pack, offense-by-committee (G/G was 14th, 8 15+ goal scorers) won't be enough to bail them out. The Coyotes had 99 points and could face a 30+ point drop. It's not so much that the Coyotes are THAT much worse without Bryz and Jovo, but because everyone else is getting better.
Going into this season, defense was Anaheim's biggest question (18-year old Cam Fowler had surprisingly made the squad) and it was answered pretty emphatically. (2.84 GA/G was 20th worst). Going into next year, defense remains Anaheim's biggest question (asides from Jonas Hiller's increasingly strange injury history – back spasms, fatigue, vertigo) but thankfully it's to a much smaller extent. Francois Beauchemin is back and Luca Sbisa has arrived. Should Teemu Selanne elect to retire (I doubt it) the Ducks have a huge top-six void to fill but they'll be quite fiscally responsible until 2014 when Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry, Lubomir Visnovsky become UFAs. Don't expect much from the Ducks – they like what they have (as would I) and they have some good stuff in the pipeline (Emerson Etem, Mark Mitera, Peter Holland, and Igor Bobkov, the Russian backup who won the title game at the 2011 WJC in which Dave Cameron's Canadian squad notoriously blew a 3-0 lead.)
I think getting rid of Darryl Sutter was HUGE for the Flames. When family and business mix together the results are usually anything but smooth. Jay Feaster now takes over (no surprises there) the team he defeated for a Cup in 2004. I think Feaster's going to be good although I can't say I didn't scratch my head when he gave Curtis Glencross a four-year contract with a no-movement clause. With 9 other roster players with some form of no-trade clause, it doesn't give Feaster a heck of a lot of flexibility, which is unfortunately what Calgary needs most if they want to compete. It's rather unfortunate that arguably their best player this year, Alex Tanguay, will be looking for a well-deserved raise that he won't get with the Flames, who already struck out once by letting Mike Cammalleri walk. The Flames have the players to be a playoff team, the only question is whether or not they can perform. I'll say this though: as long as Jay Bouwmeester is a Flame, they'll never win. Too much money tied up in a second-/third-tier defenseman (yes, I would rather have "Neon" Dion Phaneuf). The Flames need just about everything: a first-line centre, fleet-footed defensemen, a backup goalie, and most importantly, prospects. Unfortunately, there's just little of anything with value in that organization (no, Jarome Iginla isn't going anywhere, unless he wants to).
Okay, now they have a goalie Joel Quenneville actually trusts in Corey Crawford, and he looks like a keeper. Unfortunately, thanks to Dale Tallon, this team's cap structure is still a complete mess, mostly thanks to Brian Campbell. The Blackhawks won't get equal value for Campbell – he's overpaid and everyone knows it. It's one of the only ways the team can keep the core intact but I imagine the Hawks would be reluctant to trade him because he was one of the better defensemen for them this year. Campbell value's trending up, which makes it an optimal time to trade him, but not many teams want that ugly contract. The Hawks aren't in a position to do much over the summer and I don't imagine they will (had they beaten Vancouver, they would've gone deep as well). With still a bunch of good prospects in the system and no cap room, look for Stan Bowman to simply be patient and wait.
Where to begin? Saying the Erik Johnson trade totally screwed this team is a huge understatement as the Avs stumbled and fell to the bottom of the pile immediately following the trade. Nordique legend Peter Stastny ripped the management on air while Johnson and Chris Stewart took a few parting shots at their old GMs. When all those involved in the trade come off as irritated and bitter, you know that's not a good thing. Stastny was right – the entire trade threw both teams off kilt. There's been lots of rumblings that the organization is also really regretting the extension they gave Paul Stastny and if you look at the cap structure you can see why: He's the only Avs regular signed beyond 2012 at a pretty hefty $6.6 million price tag. I had so much confidence in Sherman and Joe Sacco after what they pulled off last year (Craig Anderson was a coup, but also a fluke it seems) but that trade shattered it. If Tomas Vokoun does sign with the Avs, as rumoured, then he's clearly going there for a paycheque. This team's not even remotely close to being a contender and quite frankly, I don't like what Sherman's done so far at all.
As always with the Jackets, they've become stagnant once again. If Scott Howson does get Jeff Carter, that could be one of the biggest deals in franchise history. If Carter can regain his scoring touch and focus, the Jackets become playoff contenders again. But as you can clearly see, that's about two if's too many. Columbus' top prospects may be talented, but most aren't panning out, from Gilbert Brule to Nikita Filatov to Derick Brassard. Jakub Voracek was the only player to have really took leaps forward but he might be on his way to Philadelphia. The big piece the Jackets want to hurry is Ryan Johansen, who is probably going to make the team next year considering their lack of depth up front and could take some pressure off Antoine Vermette, who is sorely miscast as a first line player. What can't the Jackets use? Steve Mason was shaky, the defense has no standout (Fedor Tyutin comes closest), and still no sidekick for Rick Nash. The jury's still out on Howson but he's dangerously close to being more Doug MacLean than not (in terms of accomplishments, anyway).
Brad Richards or no Brad Richards, this team wasn't going to be winning a Cup anytime soon, so for an ownership situation that is anything but stable, you might as well save the $7 million or so you might give Richards for the next five years. As with most teams that have owners unwilling to spend money on an asset they're ready to get rid of, Joe Nieuwendyk doesn't have a lot of money to play around with, but it's not like any of Dallas' players are worth forking big cash over. Asides from re-signing Jamie Langenbrunner for sentimental reasons, there's no reason to bring any of their UFAs back, except the problem with that is the Stars don't really have anybody in the pipeline ready for a regular shift in the NHL. When Mike Ribeiro is your number one centre and Stephane Robidas is your best defenseman, you're just not expected to win a lot of games. I thought the Trevor Daley extension was fair but a tad too long, but didn't like the James Neal trade one bit. It's Nieuwendyk's first significant summer so we'll wait and see.
Everyone's high on Brendan Smith, the former Wisconsin Badger who averaged over a point per game as a defenseman in his junior year. I've never seen him play so I can't pass judgement, but the general feeling is that Ken Holland might issue the 22-year old a 'pass' and inject him right into the lineup, an even more plausible notion with Brian Rafalski abruptly retiring and Nicklas Lidstrom's future TBD. But that's great for Holland because now he has tons of money to play with to beef up their blueline, clearly their number one concern, through offer sheets and whatnot. Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg aren't getting any younger, so I expect the Red Wings to start moving their youngsters up the ladder, starting with Tomas Tatar and Cory Emmerton.
The youth movement continues and for Steve Tambellini, braving the storm will be his biggest challenge. The worst thing to do is to make rash decisions, so that means even thinking about high-demand UFAs or trading Ales Hemsky is a big no-no. I strongly believe the Oilers should take Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, a slight but natural centre to set up their high-scoring wingers. They missed out on a potential franchise centre last time (Tyler Seguin), opting for winger Taylor Hall, and they won't be making the same decision this time. Since Nikolai Khabibulin is signed for another two years (good grief!), the smart thing to do is to shore up that atrocious blueline. And do something about Sheldon Souray, goddammit.
Dean Lombardi is in the same boat as Tambellini, in that both GMs will have to be patient with their players, except the Kings are about five years ahead of the Oilers, and that's with the league's best prospect, Brayden Schenn, still waiting in the wings. There's lots of great, young, affordable talent already (Dustin Brown at $3.2 million, Jack Johnson at $4.4 million, and Jonathan Quick at $1.8 million) and more pieces coming in: Canada's WJC captain Thomas Hickey and high-scoring junior forwards Tyler Toffoli (108 points), Linden Vey (116), and Jordan Weal (96). What's not to like? Lombardi's biggest challenge? Getting Drew Doughty to ink a lengthy extension, bringing back Michal Handzus at a discount, and driving Alexei Ponikarovsky to LAX. It's a job any GM would love to have.
As my friend Steve asks me, "doesn't it amaze you how the Minnesota Wild are a cap team?" Yes, it does, Steve. (I'll wait while you fact-check. Here, I'll even help). Now you're asking yourself: "what the… how?!?!" Well, it's what happens when you commit big money for a second-line whiner ($5 million for Martin Havlat), a piece of glass ($4.1 million for Pierre-Marc Bouchard), and vastly overrate the value of your own player ($6.75 million for Mikko Koivu). I think GM Chuck Fletcher's done an OK job so far but two things raised question marks in my mind: 1, asking Todd Richards to employ an aggressive style with an offense that doesn't feature high-end talent and a blueline that routinely turns over the puck and 2, overrating and overpaying his franchise player's market value even though everyone knew Koivu was going to stay for a salary anything above $5 million. (I think the Wild panicked and didn't want to risk losing Koivu like they did with Marian Gaborik, so they just threw money at him and hoped for the best). The good news is that Fletcher has some money to play around to boost his top six, the bad news is that I'm not sure what he's going to do with it.
With the playoffs finished, the West team that generated the most interest were probably the Preds. Barry Trotz's teams have routinely proved that you only need one ingredient to win: heart. You'd have to be from another world if you didn't think the Preds give it their all every shift. It's also easy for the rest of the team to fall in line when your three key players (Shea Weber, Mike Fisher, and Pekka Rinne) are born leaders and also your hardest working players. If the Preds want to win in the playoffs, the stars have to align. There's no way for the Preds to compete against teams with high-quality talent but that doesn't mean there isn't a chance. The Preds rarely dip into the FA pool and with such a successful season (first ever series win in franchise history and a loyal fanbase) they really won't need to. Other pressing matters are at hand, like extending impending UFA Joel Ward and impending RFA Weber, who I think will stay. The Preds have taken him to arbitration, which means teams can't make offer sheets and makes it all the more likely that Weber stays. The Preds rarely break the bank for ANY player, but if there's anyone they should throw money at, it's Weber.
Arizona Phoenix Coyotes are in ownership limbo like Dallas, except much worse. We know this team is going to be a cap floor than cap ceiling team, in part because they've already dealt away their most expensive player. Technically, Shane Doan, Ed Jovanovski, and Michal Rozsival (I'm positive he was acquired to help the team hit the cap floor next year) earn more but you get the idea – Ilya Bryzgalov's asking price was higher than all three (although it'd be lower for Philadelphia because they're in a cap bind and a much better team). Who knows where this franchise will end up (my 3 guesses: Hamilton, Kansas City, Quebec) and until then, ownership won't OK any long-term deals. No starting goalie, no good value defensemen, no marquee forward, and Keith Yandle probably won't be getting the raise he deserves (both length and dollars).
If you want to win in the playoffs, your best players have to perform. Vancouver and San Jose both lost for the same reasons. At $7.5 million a season, 3 goals in 18 playoff games from Dany Heatley just won't cut it. Joe Thornton nearly doubled his total (17 to 9). FYI, Heatley has just 5 goals in 32 playoff games with the Sharks, and just 15 in 66 games for his career. Patrick Marleau may get criticized a lot but his 7 goals were tied for the team lead. Other than upgrading that blueline (a big must), Doug Wilson has to decide what he wants to do. Devin Setoguchi is a RFA this year and Logan Couture is up next year and I would take both over Heatley. If you're earning $7.5 million on my team, you have to at least be a player I can count on to produce, and not just on the second unit powerplay (and sometimes not even).
Things were looking good for the Blues, and as much as I don't understand the Avs' decision to deal Chris Stewart, I totally understand the Blues' reasons for doing so. (Losing Erik Johnson, whose development has somewhat stalled, was okay because Alex Pietrangelo was emerging into a can't-miss and Kevin Shattenkirk is a very capable sidekick, and the team needed more size and jam up front to help out David Backes.) The thing with the Blues, however, is that they don't have that one marquee forward to tie everything together. Instead, we got a hodgepodge of second-tier forwards miscast as first-line players. There have been flashes in which guys have been willing and able to step up their game to carry the team (TJ Oshie came close), but no one has been consistent. The still injured David Perron and the recently extended Patrik Berglund are still your best bets, though.
Did the playoff run answer some important organizational questions? Definitely. I think in both Alain Vigneault and Mike Gillis's post-season pressers, they voiced a certain amount of dissatisfaction and disappointment, although to their credit they didn't name anybody. They don't have to say anything but we do know this: Roberto Luongo is mentally soft, the Sedins clearly still can't figure out what it takes to win in this league, a killer instinct-type edge is still missing, and Ryan Kesler is clearly the heart and soul. There won't be much to improve on for the defending West champs, and it won't be possible to make changes with the core locked up long-term already. The big homework assignment for the Canucks is keeping everyone together (priority: Kevin Bieksa) and finding players with a little more heart, jam, and grit (read: Canadians).

You knew it was coming…
I couldn't leave you without a tasty Hummus recipe after posting my Baked Pita Chips last week.
Few. Now all is right with the world again. Wait — that didn't solve everything? Darn.
Well, I hope it at least helps you with a tasty combo of recipes to snack on this weekend. Or tonight. Whenever.
Hummus has always been an intriguing dip for me. I love its texture: thick, creamy and hearty. Yum. It's just a bonus that it's super healthy, too.
And, like most of my recipes, I love me a non-fussy way to prepare and enjoy this hummus. Just stick it all in the food processor and you're set. It's really that simple.
A lot of hummus recipes call for something called tahini. If you're not familiar with this, it's just sesame seed paste.
You really don't even need to go buy tahini to make hummus — all you have to do is toast some sesame seeds at home and add them in. It tastes the same.
- 3 tbsp. sesame seeds (or ⅓ cup tahini)
- 4-5 garlic cloves, whole (use 5 if you really want a strong garlic hummus)
- 19 oz. garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained (reserve juices)
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- In a small skillet, toast sesame seeds over medium heat until golden, shaking pan often. Be careful not to burn the seeds. Set aside.
- Add garlic cloves to food processor and pulse until minced. Add garbanzo beans, olive oil, lemon juice and kosher salt to food processor and blend until smooth. If mixture is too thick, add 2-3 tablespoons of reserved garbanzo bean juice, tablespoon by tablespoon, until it reaches desired smooth consistency. Add toasted sesame seeds and blend until fully processed.
- Chill until cold, approximately 1-2 hours.

This review is from: Cuisinart DBM-8 Stainless Steel Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill
Pros: Has lasted me ~4-yrs, performs well for price
Cons: None for the money!
Other Thoughts: As an FYI, I have had a similar model for 4-yrs, and when I first got mine, which used to be model CCM-16, I tried to grind a pound of beans, and after ~3 hoppers full, the motor would not come on.
I later realized it is not made to do so much in succession, and the motor has a thermal cutoff to keep it from burning out, a good thing.
If it stops working, let it sit several hours and try it again before proclaiming it is broken.
I now grind 2 hoppers, wait awhile and grind more, and it as worked perfectly since.
This review is from: Samsung 22" Class (21.5" Diag.) 1080p 60Hz LED-LCD HDTV UN22D5000NF
Pros: Looks like a good TV, was going to buy, but after going to 1-click from done deal to find out the price, I decided to go elsewhere.
NewEgg has changed the way the inform the customer of so-called "special" prices, and they need to make it easier and change it back to the way it was.
Cons: Finding the price is absurd. Can get it for the "special" price elsewhere without having to jump through so many hoops.
*NewEgg management*: Are you listening, IF you can hear?
This review is from: Rosewill RNX-G300EX Wireless Card IEEE 802.11b/g PCI Up to 54Mbps Data Rates 64/128bit WEP WPA WPA2 802.1x, 802.11i, AES, TKIP with 100cm cable external 2 dBi Antenna
Pros: Finally got it to work with Win7 using the drivers suggested below from the M$ Catalog v.22.214.171.124.
There are 2, one x32, the other x64, so make sure you get the correct one, if I remember the x64 variant is slightly larger than the x32 driver.
It would not work with the included drivers.
I'm in a campground, and could barely get their WiFi signal with *THREE* other adapters, as I'm quite a ways from their router.
Once I got this working with the M$ stock updated driver, I'm now getting a VERY good signal with the antenna sticking on the outside of my aluminum blind.
Bye-Bye to my $60/mo - 5GB/mo wireless Broadband, the mafia !@#$ anyway. I SWEAR the wireless broadband providers are price-fixing in my opinion.
Cons: Drivers @ Rosewill & Ralink need to be UPDATED ASAP !
ALSO - IMPORTANT, although the external antenna cord is nice, it would be nice it if was even long. Not sure how this would affect signal quality, but for a few pennies more wire to the antenna, would near make this the perfect cheap solution to my WiFi needs.
Other Thoughts: Very satisfied, but disappointed a few days after I bought it that it went to 30% off, but that was a minimal amount considering the cost at purchase.READ FULL REVIEW

Panfilio infuses 'Rita' with hopeful humor
In the opening scene of "Educating Rita," Willy Russell's bittersweet play about a 26-year-old hairdresser trying to start over and the alcoholic literature professor assigned to help her, Rita bounds into Frank's book-lined study for her first lesson.
Her attention is immediately drawn to an ostensibly chaste but erotically charged portrait on the wall, and within the blink of an eye she has offered a bawdy, original and wide-ranging interpretation of how that portrait works. Admitting he hasn't looked at it in years, the best Frank can manage is the bland assessment that it's "beautiful." »Read Full Article

Eagles take it easy at Marcus Amphitheater
The news flash from the Eagles' closing-night gig at Summerfest's Marcus Amphitheater on Sunday night is that Bernie Leadon appears to be at least partway back in the band.
Eagles' historians will remember that Leadon, an original band member, exited the group in rather definitive fashion way back in 1975 when he poured a bottle of beer over Glenn Frey's head. »Read Full Article(9)

Rocky Mount, NC Saving time and saving money are the driving forces behind an innovative approach to achieving two college degrees within three years announced by North Carolina Wesleyan College in partnership with Pitt Community College. Through this revolutionary program in Business Administration, coined Two Degrees in Three, college-ready adult students with no prior college credit can earn the Associate of Applied Science degree and the Bachelor of Science degree in only three years of year-round study.
"Our unique and first-of-its-kind partnership with Pitt Community College has produced a remarkable blending of high-quality curriculum," said NC Wesleyan President James A. Gray, III. "As more students struggle with the cost of higher education, we have found a way to offer a fully-loaded program that will yield a bachelor's degree in three years at a substantial savings when compared to the cost of a traditional college program."
In addition to the opportunity to earn two degrees in a shorter period of time, administrators at both colleges emphasized the affordability of Two Degrees in Three as one of the most attractive features. Students who choose this 3-year program over a traditional 4-year private college will save approximately $60,000, on average. Students will pay an average of $5,000 less in this program than the cost of attending a North Carolina public college or university for the same amount of time.
NC Community College System President Scott R. Ralls, Ph.D. endorsed the initiative saying, "I applaud the innovative efforts of Pitt Community College and NC Wesleyan College to bring to market a first-of-its-kind model that helps adult students get a 4-year degree faster and for less money than with traditional models. The 'Two Degrees in Three' program is not for every student, but it is a step forward in being responsive to the challenges of time and money facing many students in North Carolina."
PCC President G. Dennis Massey, Ph.D. expressed enthusiasm, "The new 'Two Degrees in Three' program supports the ambitious plans of students with concrete, achievable educational pathways. I am excited about this expansion of PCC's partnership with Wesleyan and fully support this effort to better serve Pitt County and Eastern North Carolina."
"This cutting-edge partnership has many unique qualities never seen between two schools in North Carolina," said Wesleyan Interim Provost and Vice President of Adult and Professional Studies Evan Duff, Ph.D. "Both schools provide the exact number of credits students will need to complete their associate and bachelor's degrees. This prevents wasting time and credits while earning these two degrees. This is especially attractive to working adults."
Students will take 64 credit hours through PCC and another 60 through NC Wesleyan to equal the 124 hours Wesleyan requires for a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. PCC will accept 12 hours from the upper-level courses completed at Wesleyan and apply them toward the 76 hours needed for the Associate of Applied Science in Business Administration.
"The partnership between PCC and NC Wesleyan is designed to accelerate a student's time to completion, and provides increased levels of support to enhance student success," said Maria Pharr, PCC Assistant Vice President of Academic Affairs.
Pharr said students will take a combination of accelerated 8-week, 5-week, and online classes through a cohort model in which they move together through each course. "The cohort system provides a team atmosphere in which all class members understand the complexities of work and social responsibilities and therefore, help and motivate each other," she said.
"One of Pitt Community College's major strategic goals is student success," said Massey. "As a result of that endeavor, we are constantly striving to help students develop and realize their educational goals while also increasing the number of degrees and certificates they earn."
PCC is accepting enrollment now for the first cohort of students, which will begin classes in August 2013. To learn more about the Two in Three in Business Administration, contact Alton Wadford, Pitt Community College at 252-493-7745 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

A Few Bad Men
When the election ends, a complete Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse investigation should begin

Scott Horton became familiar with military doctrine long before he was fairly able to understand it. As a child, he was raised on Kirtland Air Force Base, the son of an officer, before leaving Albuquerque three decades ago to embark on a career as an international transaction attorney and human rights lawyer, most notably representing former-Soviet Union dissident Andreis Sakharov.

A Race to the Bottom in Mental Health Care
By Jerry Ortiz y Pino
A few weeks ago I wrote about how foolish a policy it is for a state to funnel its public mental health funds through "for profit" HMOs—private companies charged with managing that care but which can increase their profit line by reducing services.
Odds & Ends
By Devin D. O'Leary
Dateline: Australia—A court has ruled that a convicted heroin dealer can claim a $165,000 tax deduction for money that was stolen during a bad drug deal. The Australian Taxation Office had been trying to make Francesco Dominico La Rosa of Perth pay tax on his 1994-95 income, which is estimated at $337,000. But La Rosa, who recently served a 12-year term for dealing heroin and amphetamines, insisted his taxable income should be reduced. La Rosa told the High Court that the $165,000 cash he had buried in his back yard was dug up to pay for a drug deal in May 1995. That transaction went badly and ended up with the money being stolen by unknown people. The High court agreed with a lower court decision that upheld La Rosa's claims. The federal government has now vowed to change the law to bar losses incurred in illegal transactions from being claimed as tax deductions in the future.

If something fundamental doesn't change with the HoF process ASAP, the honor should be considered a non-entity. It would be a shame, but that's how bad it's gotten. The numbers still stand for themselves, and one day a sensible solution will be found.
I'd be fine if a consensus was reached to bar everyone who tested positive or admitted use of steroids. Sure, it keeps a lot of significant names out, but that's life. Just because someone isn't in the Hall doesn't mean they won't be remembered. Likewise, I'd be fine if a decision was made to recognize that cheating is as old as the sport and let the numbers from that era stand. A decision could be made to hold the numbers from that era to a certain standard. Any of these would define what the Hall is and what kind of honor it bestows.
As we're seeing now, punting the decision was the worst possible thing MLB could have done. Maybe things would be different if the writer's body had any kind of unity, but right now being elected to the Hall only means that you didn't get on the bad side of enough cranks. That's no honor to anybody.

Some of you may not want to believe this, but here's what I think I figured out.
Christopher Rodia doesn't own the car with the license plate 872-YEO. That may or may not be Adam Lanza's mother's car, or his car, or some other person's car. But it's not Rodia's.
I am from Connecticut. I have listened to the audio scanner stream that is used here, and I know that the guy who hosts this particular feed is monitoring several frequencies, including state police, Greenwich CT, New Canaan CT and Darien CT police.
The problem with this Youtube video is that it pieced together several audio feeds. It's not an actual tape of the radios being used at the school and only those radios. There is a lot going on, including calls unrelated to the shooting. Right before this, an EMS call goes out for a person with neck pain.
You have to listen a few minutes before the Christopher Rodia name is played.
A man with the same voice who calls out the Rodia info says at 10:00:33 a.m. (25:02 in Youtube video) "33 to Headquarters, motor vehicle stop."
He comes back on the radio at 10:01:12 a.m. (25:42 in Youtube video), in between shooting-related calls about getting "buses" aka ambulances, he says "722-ZHA, radar," meaning that the MV stop was by radar of a car with that plate.
He is then not heard from for a few minutes. Presumably this is when he is walking to the car and speaking to the driver.
At 10:06:13 a.m. (30:43) he's back, "33 to headquarters. Run the operator." Then it is hard to hear because of the encrypted radio transmissions the Newtown police are using. The feed of the Newtown police was edited together with the other feed, which is called "Fairfield County Police, Fire, and EMS" in Radioreference.
It's easier to hear what the officer making the traffic stop is saying if you listen to just the "Fairfield County Police, Fire and EMS" feed archive, which can be found in Radioreference's archives.
He says "Run the operator. He has a Florida license and out of Connecticut as well. Name is Rodia R-O-D-I-A, Christopher A. Date of Birth is August 6, 69."
Dispatcher responds "10-4."
So, the cop has the operator's driver's license. He's not running the plate. He wants the dispatcher to run the name through their computers to check for warrants, etc. What happens during the rest of the traffic stop isn't heard on the radio.
My assumption, based on listening to radio calls on this feed in the past, is he was stopped in one of the towns monitored on this feed, like New Canaan, Darien or Greenwich. That is because, as you can here at times on the tape, state cops call out their number and then "to G" or to "A" which is the barracks they are based out of. This cop calls the traffic stop into "headquarters."
So, my conclusion is Christopher Rodia, a sketchy guy with sketchy criminal connections, just happened to be stopped at the same time of the shooting in a nearby town, and at the same time a cop at the scene ran the plate of the car Lanza or whoever used to get to the scene and left a shotgun in.
If you weren't listening to a scanner feed archive and were instead listening to the actual radios being used at the scene, you wouldn't have made the connection between Rodia and the school, so there's no reason for him to be investigated, because both he and his car weren't there.
Take this as you will, but this satisfied for me what I agree was a very interesting/possibly sketchy situation with the car.
Anonymous Coward 18359766
You have, actually, provided a better case here. Here's how:
Let's assume your claim of Rodia's car having a different license plate than 872-YEO is true.
Lanza is related to Rodia is related to Uzar is related to Coppola is related the the Barbara Lanza-Coppola is related to the Christopher Rodia, 42, and Cassandra Scire is related to ADAM LANZA.
What's the probability that at the exact time that Adam Lanza is supposedly gunning 26 people down that his cousin, Christopher Rodia, is stopped and his name read on police band radio???
Can you say about ZERO percent chance of that?
You have inadvertently made the case stronger. We know that Rodin is a Lanza relative. You cannot disprove this.

License to Spy: Ubuntu Developer Week
The Ubuntu Developer Week, which began yesterday and runs until Friday, is a perfect opportunity to look over the shoulders of the Ubuntu developers.
Aimed primarily at Linux developers, Developer Week is a chance to see how Ubuntu works from the inside. In various chat workshops, (held at fixed UTC times), developers will provide a deep insight into their everyday working lives.
How Gnome functions, for example, what is Gcnof, how packages are built, how are bugs detected, registered and fixed? All this and more will be explained, with ample time for Q&A's at each session. For those who can't watch live, protocols of the events can be found on the Ubuntu timetable page.
In his blog, Daniel Holbach admits he's already pleased by the response. " We had lots and lots of attendants and I was surprised how many really great questions we got and how awesome the atmosphere was. "Everybody is really thrilled about getting started with Ubuntu Development. WOW!" he says.
Alongside an introduction in various different languages, workshops concerning the of packages,cooperation with Debian and Gnome-basics were held in English.
Sessions on Launchpad bug-tracking and the debugging from crashed programs are planned for today.

Who was the greatest Eagle of all time? We asked a panel of former players across several eras to vote, and it was an incredibly tight race. Chuck Bednarik, all agreed, was a solid No. 3.
But No. 1? Steve Van Buren or Reggie White? It was close.
The deciding factor in selecting Van Buren over White was their postseason records. Van Buren won two championships, while White won only one playoff game as an Eagle. Everyone agreed White revolutionized the way the defensive end position was played. But for this franchise, Van Buren did more by winning back-to-back titles in 1948 and '49.

Looking for racy entertain- ment? Steer away from Jersey Shore and tune into Niñas Mal, airing Monday January 17th,on Tr3s: MTV, Musica y Mas. The sudser -- yes, it has English subtitles! -- is based on a 2007 movie following three teen rebels at a girl's charm school. Niñas Mal already aired in Latin America and was pretty hot stuff. It promises to be hot stuff here too, dealing with themes like pregnancy, drugs and losing one's virginity. We talked to two of the stars Carmen Aub, 21, and Isabel Burr, 22.
The Mexican natives were in town to chat about the show.
Tell us about your characters:
IB: I play Adela, who grew up feeling very lonely, basically by herself. Her mother died very young and her father is a very famous politician. She started acting very rebelliously -- anything to get his attention, crazy stuff to freak him out. She has no fear and never accepts no for an answer. But I have a huge heart.
CA: My character Greta grew up in a wealthy family who was worried about what everyone thinks. She was living in a bubble. Now that she's in the school for ladies everything she thought was right is wrong. She has all this internal conflict because she wants to find herself. It's a very confused, bipolar character.
Is there a lot of drama?
CA: Definitely. Destiny put these girls together in a house and their different personali- ties cause a lot of conflict. Everyone has a different back- ground.
How is this show different from other telenovelas? IB: It's pretty sexy. There are a few fantasy scenes when I had to take my top off but it was important to show my transformation into a woman.

Bangladesh wants to establish links and build relations with countries and organizations working in the field of ocean research and resources in an effort to ensure the protection and exploration of marine resources in a better way, says a senior official.
The official at the Foreign Ministry said the issue will come up for discussion prominently in a two-day international workshop on 'Blue Economy' to be held in Dhaka from Monday through which Bangladesh wants to get exposed to the global debate.
According to Foreign Ministry sources, Bangladesh is in a process to identify elements and course of action for developing a maritime policy and a strategy for Bangladesh through better understanding the dynamics of ocean-based blue economy.
After consecutive wins with Myanmar and India, Bangladesh is trying to move ahead with a 'land and sea' strategy as the importance of sea is growing globally.
Bangladesh, according to Foreign Ministry sources, wants to expand scientific options to protect, preserve and exploit ocean resources for sustainable development.
Some 32 representatives from 20 countries, including eights global experts on blue economy, will attend the workshop and share their experiences and ideas apart from the participation of experts from the host country.
Bangladesh is hosting the workshop to discuss ways to better explore the untapped resources of the Bay of Bengal.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is scheduled to inaugurate the workshop at city's Sonargaon Hotel on Monday.
Finance Minister AMA Muhith, Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali, Industries Minister Amir Hossain Amu, Shipping Minister Shajahan Khan and State Minister for Foreign Affairs M Shahriar Alam, among others, will address its inaugural session.
There will be three working sessions -- ocean resources for sustainable development, access to acquire ocean resources and turning ocean resources for a prosperous future.
The workshop, according to an official at the Foreign Ministry, will help raise more awareness and broaden horizons towards utilizing the resources of the sea and thus bring about socioeconomic changes in the lives of Bangladesh people.
Addressing the 'Global Oceans Action Summit for Food Security and Blue Growth' held at the World Forum in the Dutch capital recently, Mahmood Ali said Bangladesh government seeks the blue economy growth related to resources of the ocean.
He called for good governance for conventional fisheries management, establishment of marine protected areas, transfer of technology, promotion and protection of traditional knowledge, reducing marine pollution, capacity building for fish stock assessment and sustainable management of small scale fisheries.
Some 30 million people of Bangladesh have had direct livelihood dependence on oceanic economic activities like fisheries and commercial transportation.
Despite such dependence, countries like Bangladesh do not possess the critically required resources, capabilities and technologies for leveraging their marine resources.
The total collection of fish from the Bay is around 6 million tonnes annually. Of this, Bangladesh's share is only 0.29 million tones.
