Something that has made me laugh (a lot) over the past month is the (some fan) obsession in using the term "upgrade" in relation to recruitment, ie, is player x an upgrade on player y.
Firstly, there are so many variables in play this is impossible to categorise.
Secondly, and this is an important factor, most of the teams simply cannot afford to "upgrade" 4-5 players each season, if they did that on a continual basis, within 10 years the NHL would be based in the UK !
Looking at the rosters announced to date, in my humble opinion the league looks weaker at the moment that it did last season!
