The NHL season nears and we start the divisional previews this week.

The Ottawa Senators are wheeling and dealing leading up to the start of the season. They started by picking up Derek Stepan from the Arizona Coyotes and followed that up by getting Braydon Coburn, Cedric Paquette and a 2nd round pick from the Tampa Bay Lightning for Marian Gaborik and Anders Nilsson. Who was the winner in each of these deals?

With the round robin of the World Junior Hockey Championships we look in to see if teams are doing too much by running up the score and see what upsets have happened so far.

Our division previews kick off on the West coast looking at questions like:

- How drastically will the addition of the Minnesota Wild to this division change playoff outcomes?

- Which team loaded up the most this offeason?

- Where will each team finish in the standings?
