What an amazing Stanley Cup Final we were treated to this year! One great game after another. The Rangers deserved a better fate than people to say in years to come that this was "just" a five- game series.

With just a couple more breaks, New York just as easily could have been the team celebrating at the end of this series. More than anything else, the series showed that while the Kings are indeed a great team and worthy champion, there really is a lot of parity in the NHL.

On to a couple rumors...

I am still hearing that Edmonton is prepared to strengthen its push to acquire Dion Phaneuf with an offer Toronto can't refuse. Right now -- and these things can and will change fast by draft weekend -- I would say the chances that Phaneuf ends up in Edmonton are greater than him ultimately staying put with the Leafs.

The chances of Paul Stastny staying put in Colorado and signing a contract extension are increasing each day. Right now, I think the most likely scenario is that he re-signs before hitting UFA status on July 1.
