from John Shannon of Sportsnet,

A long time ago, my Dad once said, "If you can’t say one nice thing about someone, don’t say anything at all.”

With that in mind, here’s my one nice thing about every NHL team, and a few questions:

CALGARY: No playoff team upgraded better than the Flames. Hamilton and Frolik will be huge additions.

DALLAS: The Stars will score, we know that. Will the Finns in goal (Lehtonen and Niemi) keep the other team from doing the same?

DETROIT: Red Wings want to prove it's the players, not the plan, that makes this team playoff-worthy as the post-Babcock era starts.

NY RANGERS: Alain Vigneault might have the league's best defence, and his forwards got younger. But are they better?
