Fantasy Season in Review: Vancouver Canucks
Offensive Corps: The Canucks lineup was full of overachieving fantasy performers, and if you won your league, there is a good chance you had one or more of these guys.

Exactly 31 players filed for salary arbitration today, excluding the playoff hero Jaroslav Halak. Antti Niemi should get his due raise and the Hawks certainly prepared for it by shipping most of their bottom six to the Eastern Conference.
